Happy Easter

The clothes all came together pretty effortlessly.  The kids behaved (for the most part), so why was it all so stressful??  Once we finally got to church and sat down, I relaxed a little, but getting there was a chore.  The service was packed, and Traci and I saw each other afterwards.  We did manage to get one picture together, in spite of the wind, which blew up my dress Marilyn Monroe-style (I had to run home to put on a pair of Hide-ees).

Each year for Easter my parents host all of my in-laws after church for lunch and an impressive Easter egg hunt.  Everyone brings something, which is very helpful, but there is still a lot of set up.  Scott spent all day Saturday moving tables and chairs while I stuffed Easter eggs and prepared Easter baskets.  It may be a lot of work, but the reward is totally worth it.  Scott is one of six kids, and there are seventeen grandchildren so when we all get together it's a great party!  Plus, my mother-in-law surprised me with a beautiful Spratling Silver cross, and I love it!  I hope your Easter, like mine, was filled with the love of friends and family, millions of candy-filled eggs and big chocolate bunnies!
