Easter Fun

It was a great Easter season. The weekend was filled with parties and egg hunts. With Justin's birthday party, Travis' Bible class party, the family Easter/birthday party for Randy's brother (his birthday is ON Easter this year!), and Sunday actually being Easter, we lived on a constant sugar high all weekend long. And there is still lots more where that came from!

Our church had our Easter egg hunt in the building because of rain in the morning. The hallways were filled with kids and adults madly trying to snap pictures. Travis picked up the eggs and shook them to see if there might be something worth opening it to obtain. He only liked the ones that made noise because he has become a jelly bean fiend. And Justin enjoyed throwing and/or rolling them. Randy had to work pretty hard to get him to put them in the baskets. In the end they did pretty well. In the beginning there was a 12-egg limit, which was quickly lifted and a free-for-all ensued. "Frenzy" might be a good word! The remnants were sad and we spent some times collecting abandoned eggs and scraping smooshed jelly beans off the carpet. Cleaning people really deserve their pay after something like this!








Last year we were able to get Justin to go to the Easter bunny and I had to hold Travis, but this year both boys screamed like we were torturing them. Thus the parent buffer between the rabbit and the boys.

And we managed one decent family picture in the Easter duds. Some day Justin will look back at all the pictures and ask why we took those pictures of him with his mouth open like that. I am counting on all of you to substantiate my story about my efforts to alter this with little success!
