Once again, we had a busy, but fun-filled Easter. It all started bright and early in the morning, with a visit from the Easter bunny. Ava clamored downstairs to discover a basket filled with goodies (which I forgot to take a picture of before she completely dismantled it). Then it was outside to hunt for eggs. And—for the record—the Easter bunny brings us actual colored boiled eggs; none of those wimpy plastic eggs for us, thank you very much! Ava had a blast, although she wished that ‘ol bunny would have brought more eggs. Of course, being as I’m the only one in our family who eats hard-boiled eggs, I doubt she’s going to be getting more than a dozen for quite some time. She also enjoyed the fact that Mamaw and Papaw stopped by in time to help her on the hunt.
Then it was off to church in her adorable Easter dress, which she picked out herself this year. As you can imagine, it was blue—her favorite color. After church, we began our annual ritual of traveling to all three Easter celebrations: (1) Lunch at Great Aunt Margaret’s with my Dad’s side of the family. (2) Afternoon meal at Bill and Kaye’s with Erik’s side of the family. (3) Supper at Sandy’s with my Mom’s side of the family. Yes, I ate a full meal at each stop. No, Ava did not. As for Erik, he was so obsessed with watching the Master’s that I don’t know if he even realized food was being served throughout the day.
All in all, we enjoyed the chance to visit with relatives while partaking of excellent food. Especially the pregnant woman! And Ava couldn’t have been happier, since her loot pile grew with each subsequent stop we made. Seriously, I would list all the gifts and candies she received, but it would take forever. So I’ll just leave it at this: thanks to everyone who contributed to my daughter’s Easter happiness!
