Easter

Brian had to leave at 3:30 on Easter morning to go to Texas for work. We missed him but had a good time anyway. We went to my sister's house and River hunted eggs with his cousins. He took the whole thing very seriously and only had to be shown what to do one quick time and he was off on a mission. As I watched him I could see his eyes moving all around looking for eggs. The weather was cold, rainy and basically dreary. My sister and her husband have a LARGE shop so the Easter Bunny hid eggs in there. Nice and dry. There are tools and other shop stuff around, things that would really interest an almost 2 year old. River was not distracted and he kept right on track with finding the eggs. Carson and Josie were great big cousins and made sure that there were eggs for River to find. Papa made sure to help River "notice" where eggs might be. Afterward we went back inside the house and the kids looked at what was in their Easter Baskets. After enjoying the morning with family River and I headed home at naptime. When we got home we put on pajama bottoms and hid from the rain. For dinner we had ice cream and popcorn. Not quite traditional but we were happy and enjoyed relaxing together. I hope everyone enjoyed Easter and had better weather. By the way, the days before and after Easter were beautiful!
