Easter

On the Saturday before Easter we had a family dinner and Easter egg hunt. We enjoyed a traditional meal of ham, funeral potatoes, peas, rolls and butter, green salad with dressing, soda pop, and cupcakes decorated to look like easter baskets with eggs. The Hawkins family of Oklahoma obviously didn't attend and Jory, Bryan and Riley were working. The day was fairly nice, just a little cool. Some eggs had numbers in them and the kids could pick a prize with #1 getting the first choice and so forth. Another year we really need a more challenging, exciting and interesting hunt especially for the older grandkids. Due to recent rainstorms, the hunt had to be restricted to the lawn and concrete surfaces. My camera kept going on the fritz so I am deficient in pictures. Kim took lots of pictures but hasn't sent them to me, so I decided to do a post without them. After the festivities the adults visited and the kids ran wild. Then I handed out big black garbage sacks and the girls were free to go through the toy closet and take anything they'd like. No matter where we move I doubt I will have room to keep so many toys. Hands down, the dress-ups have been the top attraction and a favorite activity for both granddaughters and grandsons. The toys that have stood the test of time and have been enjoyed most are from Fisher Price. Andrew, Robin and girls stayed with us and attended church with Jill, Brandon and family the next morning.
