Happy Easter!
We saw my parents on Friday and Saturday, had a hunt (my dad put dollar amounts on the eggs so all the girls were highly motivated. Of course, my second daughter is motivated just by the thought of winning), went shopping much to the joy of my dear mom (shopping is a tradition), and had dinner with my niece who skillfully took digital photographs of some very silly children.
Now, we're back at home. Grandpa is still in the hospital and tradition has it that he is the master egg hider. I'm trying to convince my little pumpkins to travel once again to Anaheim. But, we may just have a prayer and make a call. They're just too tuckered. Wish Grandpa was home.
Wishing the blessings of family and friends to everyone during this very special time of reflection and celebration.
Family is good.

Happy Easter to all. It is night now, dinner is over, the day is done. Even tho our kids are big, we still Easter shop, and make them a basket. It was fun. They colored eggs at midnight last night. I don't know where they get the energy!! |

You've never seen family until you've seen the baby (age 21) and the wee one (age 10) running around the front yard in their PJs and tennies (I MADE them put on shoes, it was below 30 out there!!!) tackling each other for eggs.
Lots of family and "down" time yesterday after church services. Very nice Easter.
Thanks for the wishes Wormie.

We had a very nice Easter as well. The kids got their baskets in the morning and then went outside for an egg hunt. Hubby and I planted some flowers while the kids played a bit. Then we got dressed and walked over to my mom's house for a roasted lamb dinner.
All in all, it was a perfect day.

We altered one of our Easter traditions this year. We had it at my parents' house rather than my aunt's house. Since we were absent the collection of Civil War sabers, my cousin's son brought his Japanese katana to behead the 10-lb. solid chocolate bunny with. And (this was the alteration) instead of having the sword owner do all the hacking, they decided to give each child (right down to my 6-year-old) a swing at the bunny with the sword. I was certain that either my mom's 35-year-old table or her ceiling fan/chandelier was going to get shattered.
Thankfully, the only casualty was the bunny. The katana wasn't able to cut through all of the chocolate, though, so we got a hatchet for the really thick parts.
The Easter egg hunt was fun too, but we were down to only two participants (one child was sick and two others were deemed too "old" at age 14 and 17 to participate).
