We dyed eggs. I love dying eggs about as much as I love carving pumpkins. I'm a fan of tradition, a huge fan, but for some reason those two activities make me cranky. But because I'm also a huge fan of childhood and memories we do it.
Yes, that is C lying on the table while A died his eggs. Apparently he enjoys the egg dying tradition as much as I do.
Because of our crazy day we missed all Easter Egg hunts near us so we had our own...

We had a nice quiet Easter dinner at home. We opted for a chicken dinner instead of ham. We used some of our favorite GK recipes. We made her potato flake chicken and her parmesan potatoes. This Easter gave our family a chance to reflect on the resurrection in a more personal way than we ever have before. We were able to talk about GK and how Christ's resurrection will allow for us to be together again as a family and that we will see her again. It was nice to be together, just the five of us, and bear testimony of eternal families and share good memories of GK...and that was our Easter.
If you are still awake after reading this post I am impressed because I almost fell asleep writing it...BORING.

I love this post. Especially because I hate dying Easter eggs too, so I don't do it. But what makes me laugh, is that you do it in the name of tradition, ever though it makes you grumpy..... And I don't do it because I don't want my kids to have horrible memories of how it makes me grumpy!
Ps- is it okay that I secretly hope that your new job will not land you in ut, but some weird twist of fate will land you in so. Cal? Cuz, I do.
That was not boring you nerd! It made me a little sad though to see your cute house the way it used to be. Cute pics of the kiddos too!
This post wasn't boring...especially because, I too, get cranky when we have to carve or dye things. I feel so close to you.
Those recipes sound DIVINE!! Are they family secrets are would you be allowed to post them?
I agree...you made that house so adorable. I know you will make your new home wonderful, too....
Wasn't boring to me. : ) I love seeing their sweet smiles. I didn't really care for dying eggs when you were growing up, that's why we hardly ever do it. It's not a Honduran tradition, so I wasn't raised that way. Now that I'm an abuelita I like it.
