We have been having wonderful days at the beach sunny and nice...the girls have been able to play in the sand, build cool stuff with sticks and shells and rocks, and geocache. It's been terrific to be a family again. Ken is out of school, so we have Daddy back. I don't have to make all the decisions, answer all the questions, cook and clean up after every meal...it's been very relaxing.
We drove back home for Easter...went to church with our church family and then over to Ken's Dad's for Easter dinner. Aspen hunted eggs with the other cousins...the tradition is that they are filled with chocolate and money. Grandma Syble had candy that Aspen could eat for her...LOTS of candy, so she just traded her chocolate in on butterscotch buttons, jelly beans and gummy worms.
When we have these big family gatherings, there are lots of food "requirements"....it's just not Christmas, or Easter, or whatever without ___________ (you fill in the blank). It usually means huge meals with lots of dishes...one person has to have green bean casserole, another broccoli salad, another au gratin potatoes and the list goes on and on. Aspen ate a dry baked potato and canned green beans for Easter dinner...and was happy...it's amazing what we can do with our minds if we choose to be content.
