Easter

Easter weekend was an EGGstravaganza! Sorry, couldn't help myself. We had egg decorating, egg hiding, egg hunting, egg cooking, and egg eating. The girls made complete messes of themselves and several pieces of furniture dying eggs. Next year maybe we'll do it outside and naked (just them). Anyway, the eggs turned out lovely, although the house smelled pretty egg-y until today when we started devouring the eggs deviled-style. Yum. We got sitters and celebrated Jason's birthday on Saturday listening to some live music in Austin and eating lots and lots of meat at Fogo de Chao. That place is quite an operation. I'm not sure I ate my money's worth, but Jason at his own and mine as well, so it all evened out. We played outside when it was nice, and played inside when it wasn't. We all went to the Good Friday service and Easter morning service. Jason sang and played trumpet. The girls enjoyed their Easter goodies from Mr. Bunny. They all got Peeps (among other things) and I found their reactions to the Peeps indicative of their personalities. Mary Grace immediately began biting the heads off of each of her Peeps. Such a little sweetheart. Evelyn called them her babies and covered them with a napkin/blanket and carried them around in their basket/bed. Willa took one bite, said "Ew!" and threw hers in the trash (my feelings exactly). They all eventually, though, succumed to whatever it is that makes people like to eat these sort-of-food-products, because as of tonight, they are all gone. Everyone went to bed exhausted, but having had a fun-filled, and somehow really relaxing family weekend. Few and far between for us this time of year. Love these girls!
