Easter Celebration

We had a really enjoyable Easter this year. We didn't celebrate the traditional way this year. We had my brother Sean and his family come up from Baldwin. My mom was in town to watch Jocelyn earlier in the week so she stayed for the weekend. And, we had Alex's parents come over. We decided to have the first BBQ of the season. We had good hamburgers and hot dogs and Alex even smoked some meat. The weather also cooperated that day was well. We decided to dye Easter eggs outside. Olive and Jude did a great job coloring the eggs. Jocelyn just wanted to make a mess. It had been forever since I had dyed eggs so it was definitely an enjoyable activity that brought back so many memories. After the eggs dried, Jude hid the eggs in the backyard for Jocelyn and Olive to find. Olive did an amazing job finding the eggs. Her basket became so heavy she had a hard time carrying them all. Jocelyn and Oma also went out to find the eggs. She did a good job of finding the eggs too. However, once she picked them up, she liked to throw them as far as she could. Good thing they were hard boiled. That evening we had fun laughing and catching up with everyone. The kids had a great time running around and having fun.
