Easter

This weekend we have just about the whole family come up, except for Lisa, who is going to be hanging out with David I think. He should get his call this next week. I hope Lisa handles that well. I had yesterday (Friday) off too, for Good Friday, and Sarah and Sophia were up so that was nice.

First we started the day at our small town's Easter Egg hunt. Mark's kind of activity; over in 5 minutes. Then colored eggs with 5 of the 7 grandkids; then we had a treasure hunt for Easter Baskets, and then a hunt for easter eggs on the front lawn, which was fun. Then a nice dinner with almost everyone, and Mark’s birthday present, a Kindle, which is an electronic book reader, and internet thing. Then many of us went to see Grandma at the nursing home. And just now Garden, who was dancing to a nice song on her video (Prince of Egypt) came here and said, “Did you see that? Have you ever seen that? I was dancing for Jesus, and I do things for Jesus.” I gave her a hug after that. She’s so cute. And a very expressive dancer. A girl after my own heart! I so enjoy each of my grandkids. What sweetness, even in their independence. And, to add to the ambience, I have Pride and Prejudice music playing. So there is some peace after a very hectic, busy, fun filled day.
