Happy Easter Friends!

The excitement mounted throughout the day on Saturday and then into the evening.

How does the Easter bunny get into the houses?

Where does he live?

Could he maybe be a she?

How does he/she make the chocolate eggs?

Does he/she pop them out like a chicken?

Why do some come in boxes and not foil?

Do all children get the same amount of eggs?

What about kids in Hawaii?   They are surrounding by water... how does the bunny get there?

Is there more than one Easter bunny?

I thought the kids had exhausted themselves, but the chatter continued until way past their bedtimes.   Some parents... lucky ones, have children who when kept up late, sleep happily late into the mornings.  I am NOT one of those parents.   My children although they went to bed late, woke Scott and I at 5:40am ready to dash into action.   We tested their patience until my mom, who wanted to watch the hunt, arrived at 6:00am.   By 6:30am the kids were each counting their eggs... Matthew was working on a grand total and then they began the tradition of "fair sharing" of the chocolates.  

Next the kids helped me to finish the cake for Scott's mom's birthday.

At 9:30 am we were off to the Neilson Grove Elementary, the kids school, to participate in another egg hunt with our school friends.  Thanks to my friend Toshi for organizing this great family fun and including my family.  I know this is a memory the kids will always remember.

Later in the day at 3-on-3 Hockey, Matthew burned off all of the chocolates he had consumed earlier.  His team won and Matt scored 2 goals.   The entire team played a fantastic game!   We celebrated the win, Grandma's birthday and Easter dinner at Scott's parents.   It was a wonderful day!

Matthew is #32 - the Green jersey.

For those of you wondering how David is doing.  He is still on the mend.   He was sent home on a 2 day release from the hospital but continues to experience seizures.   They re-admitted him on Saturday evening and hope that through close monitoring the hospital staff will be able to provide answers to why he is having recurring seizures.   Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers!
