After Carter rummaged through his Easter basket and we all had breakfast, we got ready and headed to St. Gerard's for morning mass, where we met Dave, Dorothy, Aunt Chris, Aunt Paula and Grandma Jeannie.
It had been a while since we've had Carter at church, so we weren't sure how he'd do, especially since he never sits still! As expected, he did not want to sit still...unless he was sitting with "Papa" (his Grandpa Dave). We are all completely fascinated with the affect Dave has on Carter, -- it's like Carter goes into a trance the second he is with his Papa. It's become a bit of an obsession for Carter -- he talks about Papa all the time and does not want to go to anyone else if Papa is in the room. It's pretty fun to watch, especially since Dave had such a special relationship with his Papa when he was a little boy. We joked with Dave that we will never be able to go to church without him there to keep Carter still :)
After mass, we enjoyed a delicious Easter lunch at Dave and Dorothy's house with the Opitz side of the family. Carter also got to have his first Easter egg hunt -- he did a great job!!
We went with a less traditional sports-themed basket this year, stuffed with large and small eggs that were filled with socks, a new shirt, goldfish crackers and a cool toy cellphone.
You can tell which Easter basket goody was Carter's favorite!
