Even with a few empty chairs around the table, Easter lunch felt full in all the ways that matter most.
The eight of us gathered close and we shared so much laughter.. The room was totally overflowing with goodness....and a few dogs! Lucy, Missy, and Penny (my granddogs) were enjoying our gathering...each of them begging for food.
The food?? Absolutely delicious! The Desserts? They did not stand a chance....And the Egg hunt, pure joy watching the excitement unfold, ONE Egg at a time!
I say ONE egg at a time because I did something different this year. I had ONE egg for each of them (excluding Sam and I) PLUS a Golden Egg!
Each person could only find their own egg and If they did find someone else's egg and they told them where it was at, then I got to keep the egg that belonged to the person who shared the information!!
Oh no, no, no...they did not want to lose their egg because they knew it contained MONEY 💸....and for this reason, NO ONE helped anyone find their egg. I was even accused of trying to pull a joke on them. They thought I must have just told them there were some eggs hidden just so I could watch them run around looking for them.... HA, HA...this made me LAUGH... May have to try that next year!!
Shanda...hunting every branch of every tree...🤣🤣
Trista was the last one to find her egg!!
This egg hunt lasted a good 30 or so minutes. I'll have to give myself a pat on the back, because I really did hide them in hard places. The golden egg...I hid it in the freezer which is located in the garage. Carson, found The Golden Egg and was all smiles.
More than anything, Our Easter Sunday was filled with an abundance of Love. WE did Miss our other 13 family members who were not able to come home for Easter... Hopefully next year...💛💛💛

Happy Easter week my dear friend.
ReplyDeleteWe had a blessed day as well. We were missing our Sam's girlfriend. We were blessed for our time we had with our family, even though we missed Cate.

The Golden Egg search sounds fun. So glad Carson found it in the freezer in the garage. Pretty clever of him to look there. I like Shanda's bright pink top, so cute for Easter. I'm not sure what's on those crackers, but they sure look Yummy. A lovely family photo of you all, Shug. And I like how you added colorful flowers to the picture, very creative. : )
