In addition to scooting we also worked on the Miller family's traditional lamb cake. I helped color the coconut grass and place the jelly beans. I'm most helpful in the kitchen! Okay ... now for the real meat of this post. Remember this photo from a year ago? Easter Bunny = BAD!!!!!!
Mom, Dad and I hit the Hyperion Easter Egg hunt this year and things went swimmingly.
After I got my eggs everyone was very happy.
Once I'd gone through my Easter basket and downed some candy on the down low I helped Dad blow out the candle on his birthday cheesy potatoes ...
... and open his gifts.
Next came church ...
... then some outdoor Easter photos. Boys with boots.
Me with the bestest momma EVER!
Okay, let's redirect. Shoots and Ladders? A classic that I'm just starting to understand. The subtleties take a lifetime to master.
Next up? Coloring eggs. Thanks to Aunt Sherry we got a special Tie Die kit this year. Frankly, the only thing that got tied or died were fingers and a couple of spots on my shirt. However, we excelled at single color eggs. Mom didn't think it was funny though when she asked me what color I wanted the next egg to be and I said, "White!". Not a funny joke at that particular time but as Dad said, I'm still honing my comedic timing. Anyway, it was a good family experience and everyone kept their wits about them.
Yeah, me!
Success!
Next we headed to Grandma Maggy's for a special meal and more celebrating. I feel asleep in the car and ended up crashing on Grandma's magic bed for an hour or so but nobody seemed to mind. In fact, they went ahead and ate without me! (I can't imagine what would have been fun or relaxing about a meal if I wasn't part of it but you can't account for taste.)
