Easter.....with our extended family.......

The Easter Bunny found us in Elgin, what a wily little rabbit. My sister made me cook my own breakfast, not staying there again. ...Just Kidding...... Uncle John made Ave Grace an omelet, because she likes them, and decided to just make them for everyone. Yummy..... Then it was off to hunt eggs at Mimi's.  Of course we had to eat first, what a spread! We had ham, dressing, cheese grits, green beans, mac&cheese, mashed potatoes and even more. Aunt Danielle, Little Miss Ace of Cakes, made the bunny cake and it looked great. Unfortunately I did not eat any, I think it was the seconds or maybe the thirds that did it. Anyway, it was all fantastic but what should you expect when you eat at Mama's house. The egg hunt has become somewhat famous, at least within the family, and we were able to be there  this year, which was great. For those who don't know, over 350 eggs are hidden each year and some have money. Lots of fun. I think Saylor found the most money this year but fun was had by all, even the adults. Afterward, I threw football with Ian and Dylan then my little helper joined in, Willa, and she is just too cute. I was having so much fun that I did not want to leave and the girls did not either. But, like all good things they must end. We loaded back up with the intention of driving home. I had a planned stop in Decatur to see Betty, Amanda's grandmother, and then a quick stop at Philip's house to drop off Morgan's b-day card. Both stops took the rest of the evening so we just went back to Carol & Les's and stayed for the night. This Easter was one of the best.
