Easter 2020

Easter this year was one for the books in many ways, and I've gotta say, I wasn't mad about it.  We had such a great weekend, lots of family time, lots of laughing and lots of game playing!

Josie got bribed to wear the bunny ears to wish everyone a Happy Easter, she might have been mad about it....



Good Friday Brad and I both took off, I had originally had it off as the girls and I had tickets to see Dan and Shay in concert, which was of course rescheduled.
Brad fried fresh fish for supper and while we colored Easter eggs, we watched mass online.

I told the girls that I was going to have an egg decorating contest, whoever won got $5.  Rachel worked a bunch so she didn't have time to make one, so I took her spot.  Alayna made the bubble gum machine, Emma made Spongebob Squarepants and I made the girl with a bikini, lol.  We decided Alayna was the winner!

Saturday was filled with the usual, cleaning, laundry, playing games.  Since we've been doing our themed meals, we made steak and chicken hibachi.  Oh my word, it was amazing!!!



Some things never change, no matter their age, so we still had an easter egg hunt outside.  When they were little I used to do it at dusk and put battery operated tea lights in the eggs and hide them, they loved that!

The best part of the hunt was that Rachel ended up with 4 eggs only, apparently she lost her ability to find things that are hidden!!

We always put coins in the eggs and then the girls count their money up.  After the hunt, Emma talked Brad into making a TikTok with her.  Josie was confused.

Easter morning we always make Resurrection Rolls as a family, so yummy!

We still made a big dinner: ham, mashed potatoes, stuffing, raspberry bavarian jello (which us country peeps call chicken lungs lol) rolls, corn and a strawberry pretzel dessert. 





We were all completely stuffed, but it was so yummy!  The rest of the day we spent relaxing and napping, a perfect Easter!
