Eggs-Actly!

Easter seems to always have a way of sneaking up really quickly on the calendar.  It wasn't until Saturday that we even confirmed where the festivities would be held....my house or the Frost house.  The Frosts were gracious enough to host this year, although Carrie had a broken toe and was not moving so fast.  Don and Vicki (my brother and sister-in-law) and Mom joined us for dinner. Spencer chose a Honey Baked Ham (his favorite) and we dieters (Meredith, Carrie and I) had turkey instead.  The crock pot full of mac-n-cheese was also "off limits" while we loaded up on the baked brussel sprouts and salad.  It was a yummy Easter dinner (as if we've ever had a holiday meal that WASN'T yummy!)  Afterwards, we played "Cards Against Humanity" (always appropriate for a religious holiday...) which provided lots of laughter. (and embarrassment). Mom brought an ambrosia cake and Emma made some cute M&M snacks.

 The kids had their usual Easter Egg Hunt, with just the four youngest participating this year.

 

 Once again, we had beautiful weather, after the previous few days of cold temperatures.
Erin (my co-worker) sent this cute picture of baby Stella in her Easter dress! (6 weeks old)

 I had Thursday off work this past week and spent the day going to Denver to see a new neurologist for Brad.  Meredith met us at the appointment, and we all really liked the new Doctor.  He changed some of Brad's meds to hopefully keep the seizures from continuing and reconfirmed that he doesn't want him driving.  Brad, of course, heard THAT conversation differently than did Mer and I.  That is going to be an ongoing battle, I'm sure.
On Friday, Carrie brought the kids to the house for the day, and I ended up picking up Rory and Sophie at Tasha's to take the four of them to a movie, "HOME", the alien animated movie.  I'll bet most 5 year olds would have found it very entertaining!  Afterwards, we dyed eggs at the kitchen table, with Grayson an Gabi being the most interested. Sophie and Corbin did a few, then were outside playing.

 

 I will be so sad when they all outgrow that tradition!
