We had a fun Easter weekend. Saturday was really busy. We had to color eggs, go to the Easter egg hunt at the hospital, and go to Grandma Garr's 90th birthday party.
The egg hunt at the hospital was great! They divided the lawn into three areas...one for the 2 and 3 year olds, another for 4 to 6 year olds, and the last for 7 to 10 year olds. I thought that was a wonderful idea because it kept the bigger kids from trampling the smaller ones, and everyone found plenty of eggs. We had a slight meltdown when Alivia spotted the golden prize egg (there was one in each area), but a little boy beat her to it. She was so upset! I just told her that it had a little more chocolate in it than the other eggs, and she had more of the other eggs than he did. That seemed to satisfy her!
At Grandma's birthday party, Alivia sang "Happy Birthday" to her. Grandma walked in and Alivia just started singing. Finally, everyone else joined in. It was so sweet. Grandma enjoyed her party, and it was nice to see so many people in the family come together. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera.
The Easter Bunny came to visit the girls on Sunday morning. They had lots of fun surprises and quickly found all of the eggs. It was very nasty outside...raining, windy, and cold. Since Shawn and I had both been sick, we decided not to go to church and risk getting the girls sick, too. We had a big breakfast, and then I made a ham, mashed potatoes and gravy, green beans and biscuits for Easter supper. I was happy that everyone enjoyed it!
