Easter Weekend

My family came in for a weekend of fun. It was great, although sickness seemed to descend upon us again. Just fevers that could be controlled with many doses of ibuprofen.

The shenanigans began on Saturday afternoon and the warmer weather could not be ignored. Rag tag, Noelle on the roof, and lots of running around were enjoyed.






Of course we dipped into the tradition of dying eggs. The children are getting older and I see how we are shaping our traditions. They remember last year, and want to duplicate certain aspects, bringing endless joy to me as a Mother.


My Dad is a character. Silly has to be a great way to describe him when dealing with his grandchildren. He is always coming up with fun ideas (note the picture of Noelle on the roof) that I would never think of. These out-of-the-box ideas bring complete and utter joy and keep them talking for days after his departure.





Easter morning came and Aunt Ceecee came with Mike and their new puppy. Sickness had spread to both girls so home we stayed. We hunted eggs outside, enjoyed each other's company and celebrated together as a family.




It was a great weekend and we all had an enjoyable time!

I'm thrilled to see your family was able to come for the Easter holiday! I know how much seeing family means to you. I love your egg dying mugs! Your dad looks like a lot of fun too.
