Then it was Easter!

Sleepy eyed children seeing what the Easter Bunny left for them.

Coloring eggs...

And giving them a little personality.

Family dinner became Sunday brunch beginning with Easter.
Side note: It's becoming IMPOSSIBLE to plan a weekly meal that everyone can attend. :(
This year Roger and I gave the little ones of each family a gift.

A butterfly garden for Tukker and Maveryk (I hear that their caterpillars are already quite large!)
And one for Emily and Jaxon

Caydance and Athena were at their Dad's house so they opened their butterfly garden when I saw them later in the week.

And Crystal had to work so her boyfriend's son opened his Vegetable Garden kit later in the week too. He's not an official grandbaby yet (whatever that means in this family of flexible boundaries!) but we wanted to include him too since he's with us for family functions so often. I stole this pic from Crystal's Facebook page. hee hee.

We usually hide the eggs we color and let the kids find them. But this year I wanted to do something different. So Roger and I filled plastic eggs with candy and coins and we hid those for the little ones to find. It was so fun that I think we will do that from now on.

Happy little faces looking for colorful eggs.

It was a very HAPPY EASTER!!!
