Way too early Easter morning Tanner came in and informed us that the Easter bunny had come. So we got up and watched him find all of his eggs and treats and at the end of it all his basket of toys and goodies--like he needed more sugar! The Easter bunny was very thoughtful of mom and dad because he left us a little stash too. Even Mason and Porter got a little chocolate bunny, I guess we all know who will be eating those.
After church we went over to grandma and grandpa's house for another Easter egg hunt and lunch. Then we went home and I tried my hand at making deviled eggs to take over to my sister Sherri's house for dinner. This is how we ended up at her house for dinner: Saturday night I called my mom to ask her what the plans were for Easter dinner and what I could bring. I kid you not, she says to me, " Scott(my brother)has just finished making a huge batch of spaghetti so I thought we would just have the leftovers tomorrow with a salad and rolls." What? Are you kidding me! So I say, "You are having spaghetti for Easter dinner?" She says , "Yes, why should we have something else?" So I go on about the ham, funeral potatoes, gullivers corn, assorted fruit salads, and of course the orange rolls that I have been so used to having the last 7 years living in Arizona near Scott's family. And then my sweet mom replies, "I wondered why they had so many hams in the store yesterday." Over our past almost 9 years of marriage Scott has started to realize that I wasn't kidding when I told him that holidays weren't celebrated much in my house, but I think he got an even clearer picture Saturday night. Don't get me wrong, I love my family and my mom really is the nicest person you could ever hope to meet, they just don't celebrate holidays the way I like to, or the way most other people do! :)
Needless to say I made an almost midnight run to Macey's to purchase the worlds smallest ham and a few other items so I could make a proper Easter dinner for my little family. Then the next morning my sister calls me about something and I relay this story to her, hang up and continue getting ready for church. She calls back about 5 min. later and invites us over to their house for Easter dinner. I couldn't bring much since the ingredients I got were only enough for 3 people(she has 6 children)but my deviled eggs turned out okay and the rest of the dinner was fantastic and the company was great. It was definitely a packed holiday, but one that we enjoyed sharing with many family members!
