Family Photo Album Easter 1989 At twenty-three months, Jesse was old enough to sit and "help" with egg dying, without actually understanding the purpose or tradition. We simply dyed the eggs in basic pastels with no decorations or fancy artwork this year. We had more than enough fun with making them colors In the morning, it was the little guys year to search for the eggs (so the Easter bunny was careful not to hide them anywhere too challenging). Putting up this page today, it has been fun for all of us to relive and enjoy Jesse contagious smile and inseparable water bottle from that age. He was always a delight to us. Lyn's Dad wanted Jesse to have a red tricycle for spring Dave's dad helped with "some assembly required" In Michigan, Easter is the start of spring and Jesse was going to be taking his first steps outside as soon as the warm weather appeared. After buying the giant Panda teddy bear at Christmas, Lyn's dad wanted to make sure that Jesse had a shiny new red tricycle for the first warm day of spring. Dave's dad was over visiting and helped with the assembly project, so the bike was ready to go. Everybody enjoyed watching Jesse grow up right before our eyes. Lyn's mom offered to host a family Easter dinner, so all we had to do was bring her grandchild, his new tricycle and our appetites. Grandma loved to give gifts, and certainly wouldn't let Easter pass by without them (afterall, Christmas was 3 months previous and Jesse's birthday was a full six weeks away). She had a tradition of hiding large hollow eggs with a note describing a small gift (toy airplane, bubble pipe, etc) and everybody traditionally retired to the front lawn to play with the small springtime toys.
