Happy Easter!

Look what we found in an Easter basket this year! It's Dexter! Cody and Dexter were able to join us for Easter this year as well as Mike and Shannon Stowe, Janee and her kids, and Peggy. We had a blast. Nothing like trying to take on a new role of cook when you really don't know how to pull it off. The secret? Just fake it and pretend you know what you are doing! It seemed to work pretty well. No one starved or complained about the food. Yay!


This year we did our egg hunt Mondello-style...that is adults as well as kids hunt for eggs. Everyone got 2 eggs with their names on them and then had to find 12 more eggs. We also added 3 golden eggs to the mix. The lucky winners of the golden eggs were Maxwell ($5), Hope ($10), and Cody ($20). It was a little challenging hiding the eggs seeing how we had to use the front yard. Not too many bushes but lots of pots, bricks, the Pack Rat, and trailer to hide them around. Peggy did a great job of hiding all 176 eggs!

The best part about doing this was that Mike and Shannon hadn't egg hunted in about 40 years! Mike's orange carrot was under the corner of the Pack Rat storage container between him and Alex in this photo. Shannon had to ask Charlotte for help in finding her eggs. She was actually standing over one when she asked. Hee hee!

Alex got an additional "egg" of sorts. He decided to climb out my patio door (a 4 foot drop because the patio decking was being replaced), tripped, and hit his forehead on a brick. I had to call and let Michelle know that he might look a little battered. Nothing like an goose egg to make photos look great!
