Happy Easter!

Today was a glorious day, the weather could not have been better.  The company was wonderful. Everyone had a great time, ate too much and it was all good!
The morning started out with finding Lon finding his Easter basket.
Lon taking in all the lovely thing in his basket.  Grandma' basket is in the background. Grandma and Grandpa Andy came up to help us celebrate Easter. It was good to see them!! We will be sad when they have to leave.
There were LEGOS in there.  The Lego store Easter Lego. This year was a rabbit, last year' was a basket.   The Easter bunny brought Lon some city Legos and a Chima lego packet.  It was amazing. Lon was so excited about seeing if the Easter Bunny came, he forgot to put on pants.
Then we got busy, setting the table, getting the food ready for our wonderful feast!!
Greg and Brandy came over early to help.  Greg and Daddy hid the eggs for the kids to find.
Imagine a ham and a tray of scalloped potatoes on that big empty tray. The Kulich was a braid this year. I need to find a proper Kulich mold for next year or find a couple clean 1 pound coffee cans.
The pashka came out pretty.
The babka was beautiful. Lon arranged the peeps on a tray
The rest of our feast. The last can of smoked salmon from Christmas was eaten up really fast. Thank you, Miss Lindsay! It was so good.
The bunny cakes were for Chong's birthday. We lit an egg candle and sang happy birthday to him after the egg hunt
Lining up by age for the egg hunt.
Drew was so happy to be the oldest of the group!

FINALLY!! It was time to gather the eggs
This year Reyansh was old enough to go on the hunt. He was so thrilled to gather up the eggs. He got a good share. All the kids were having a ton of fun getting their eggs. Everyone pretty much got the same amount. We did one hunt and were done, and that was good for everyone.
Examining all the eggs
Daddy and Uncle Chong pulled the wagon full of all the kids, then they tried to do it themselves. There was much laughter, since it did not work too well.
Lon told lots of stories and Rochelle was wonderful when Lon made it her turn to listen to him.
Then I put the camera down and continued to enjoy the party.
We did send everyone home with some leftovers, but not too much. :)
It was a wonderful day!!
