The day started early. Very early. Santa Claus early, because the Easter Bunny came and brought lots of candy, money and presents. Sadie got a lovely pink soccer ball, Eli some Legos and they both got an ELO CD. (Somehow the Easter Bunny must have got wind of our dance parties and decided that we needed to step it up.)
I wish we would have got photos outside but it was only 30 degrees at 8am when these pictures were taken. Anyways, a rare family photo:
After Church, Grandma and Grandpa Z. organized a little family egg hunt. Eli found one on top of the snow that just won't seem to go away.
Reid was a little distracted by balls and swings and slides to be too interested in finding eggs, but he did manage to find a few. I think Anissa slept through the whole thing.
Well, my wish sort of came true. After a cold start, it actually made it up to 62 today. We spent all afternoon outside doing yardwork. I really wouldn't choose to do yardwork on Easter and hope that it doesn't become a family tradition, but I really want to just get on with spring and have a clean yard and be done with this long dragged out winter already! Flower beds were readied, seeds started, garden prepped, pine needles raked (at least in the parts of the yard that doesn't have snow) and garage cleaned. Just in time for a picnic of Easter leftovers around the campfire. Ahhh, now that it what I call a good Easter tradition.
(If you look really closely in the foreground, you can see my spring onions. They are up and ready to be picked!)
