Easter - 2009 So, here we are on Easter. It was very relaxing actually. We went to church, Sunday school and then to Grandma's house for lunch. Since we all mostly go to Oak Glen before Easter, Carl's mom makes easy lunch like take-out fried chicken and salad, with fruit and rolls and stuff like that. We all just show up, the kids play a bit, we eat, then the Easter Bunny (namely Carl and I this year) hides the eggs and we have dessert, then comes the hunt. This year there were about 106 eggs for 3 kids, two of them mine. Cole and Kaleigh found just as many as their cousin Tyler who is 16. Kaleigh even found the golden egg that was hidden in the house that had $5.00 in it! Tyler was bummed : )

Here Kaleigh found 2 eggs in the same place! Good for you! Grandma's garden is beautiful but pretty small so the eggs are pretty close together! We try hard to hide them well, but usually all are found except maybe 3 eggs and Grandma finds those later as she gardens.

So, it was a nice easy going Easter! The kids are growing fast and it shows in the pictures! Kaleigh is getting quite a bit taller and so is Cole. Kaleigh will most likely pass me up in a few years! Yikes! Cole is going a little slower, like most boys do. But he will pass me up someday too! We are blessed with family and friends around us and we are thankful to be living in a free country, even though it is rapidly getting a little less "free"! Hope everyone had a great Easter!
