The Crazybunch: Egg Hunt in the Snow!

We had more than 12 inches of snow last Friday! We had had some beautiful days last week. All the snow was melt. We thought that was the end of the snow season. On Friday, I went to work despite the fact that Gentex had a day off because no one else in the family had a day off and I needed a day off next Tuesday to take Jenny to UofM for her ear. School called me around noon to pick Jenny up because she had fever. I was so surprised to see snow when I stepped outside. The traffic was chaotic. It took Berthold 2.5 hours to get home from work. Cars slid left and right.

On Saturday, we had our scheduled Easter Egg Hunt in the neighborhood. Kids had a great time in their snow gears hunting these colored eggs on the snow. Jenny got strap throat, but she was fine now because of the antibiotic. She was surprised there were eggs everywhere and asked me where these eggs coming from. I was attempted to tell her that Rabbits brought them, but the on the 2nd thought, that may bring more questions that I can't answer. So I told her that parents put the eggs there so kids can have fun. Talking about not lie to your kids, I am taking the magic out of the whole thing. Geesh!

It took me mroe than 16 years to get used to the concept of East Egg Hunt fun. I never made Easter baskets for kids before. The boys were at Robotci competition while the girls had their egg hunt. So I decided to make Easter baskets for the boys too. It was actually fun. Each kid gets some small gifts besides eggs and candies. I have not heard a thank-you from Toby yet. I bet he even did not check his basket and assumed they were just filled with eggs and candies.

We had a great dinner - Rosemary Garlic Lamb and Potatoes. Berthold and I took the girls to Easter Vigil. It was three hours long from 8 to 11 pm with all 9 long readings. When Berthold and I returned from our communion duty, we found two sleeping girls on the bench. It was Jenny's first time to see a baptism. It will give her a visual picture when Sue will explain her about her baptism later. Hers is scheduled to May 25th.

The boys went to Church on Easter Sunday. Joshua was cross bear and sound technician and Toby was server. It was nice to see them dress up for church - once a year they do that. Sue insisted to take some family photos. It was not an easy task with the boys goof around. They hate taking photos. Hope one day when they are older or become a parent, they would apprecite these photos.

We will do our egg coloring this afternoon. Right now, everyone is taking an after lunch rest.

It is a great Easter.
