Easter Festivities


Easter this year was action packed, or at least as action packed as a day with three hours of church can get. I feel sorry for all of the primary teachers on Easter in a too-small room filled with sugar dazed kids, trying to get a gospel message across. The halls were filled with kids bouncing off of each other in a pastel frenzie.

Right after the meeting, Kat and Andy picked us up (in the new Katmobile) to go to Boo's for an Easter extravaganza, complete with ham, rolls, two kinds of salads, cheesy potatoes, clam dip and pig candy (my contributions), with cake and ice cream for dessert.


There was an egg hunt after dinner, watched over closely by a panel of judges, to see that no rules were violated (hardly any were).


Here is a photo of the participants. Thanks to Boo and the Alex Bunny for a great hunt.


I don't think Em stayed still all afternoon. Not even long enough to eat. She was playing with anybody and everybody she could.


Since we missed the annual Aunt Barbie Spring Lollapalooza and Eggstravaganza this year, it was good to see kids on the search for all things plastic/sweet. Happy Easter! Okay then.

This one had us fooled. We thought it was Mom blogging right up the "Okay then". Great pictures. Thanks for sharing.

How fun! Food sounds good. Company sounds great. We were a little lonely and quiet around here. Nice to hear someone saw some action. Emma is growing into such a cute little girl.

Loved the description of the pastel clad kids at church. Killed me!

"Kids bouncing off of each other in a pastel frenzy". What an apt description of primary on Easter Sunday.
