We had a very nice Easter Sunday yesterday, had family over for a mid afternoon meal.
Our family get togethers seem to get smaller every year, but my siblings and my parents are right here in town and we can still enjoy these holidays together.
I like to remember when the kids were small and we would color and decorate eggs the night before Easter. Then when Chris and Laura would go to bed, we would go outside and hide plastic Easter eggs filled with treats all over the back yard, many years there would still be snow on the ground. The next morning they would get up and find the eggs and then they would come back into the house and find their Easter baskets.
I have many of these memories on video tape, so feel blessed that I can actually relive these memories to this day, in my heart Chris and Laura will always be those cute and adorable children looking for the eggs the Easter bunny left them. I hope one day in the near future they can make their own memories with their own children.

Isn't it amazing how everyone else just keeps getting older but we stay young and just observe? I can't believe Chris will probably be a husband soon; I'll always think of Laura as that little chubby-faced baby with the pink flower-band on her head...
