Happy Easter!

There is nothing that is as much fun as an Easter egg hunt with a couple of little kids.  They are enthusiastic, competitive and relentless.  We watched this morning while my three year old grandson and his eighteen month old sister chased around the backyard finding plastic eggs filled with candies.

After the plastic eggs were all collected, we broke out a dozen Cascarones (confetti filled eggshells) and busted them against each other's heads.  Great fun! 

We took a lot of pictures and captured a lot of smiles.  We managed to get the kids to ingest some lunch along with their candies, and the meltdowns were kept to a minimum... maybe one time out.

I consider the whole holiday a success.  Tonight we'll have dinner with the great grand parents and visit a great aunt.  Easter is one of those holidays where being with family is important.  Family is who loves you and sacrifices for you.  And this is the holiday where Jesus' sacrifice for our salvation is celebrated. 

I'm still working on how bunnies, eggs and chocolate work into that...
