Easter was a blast as usual, especially for all of the kids. It was bittersweet this year though. We celebrated at my sister's park next to her house and this was the first Easter since her step-son, Josh, was killed in a motorcycle accident. We all had a heavy heart that day but we did manage to enjoy being with our close family and friends.
The night before we colored eggs. The kids woke up early and to get their goodies left by the Easter Bunny. Later in the morning we went over to my sisters to set up for our fun family day. We have a potluck every year and we all bring games and activities to do. This year we brought a humungous pinata to celebrate all of the Spring birthday in the family. We had silly string, bocci ball, bean bag toss, a train ride, over 300 water balloons, squirt guns, etc. At the end of the day, we even had a sand volleyball tournament. My boys talked about playing volleyball with their cousins and all of the adults for days afterward.
Making fun memories with friends and family is what holidays are all about. Easter has become one of my very favorite days of the year. Thanks Hil for making it so much fun for everyone!
