We went to church in person for the first time since COVID as a family and it felt wonderful.  The atmosphere was alive and it really felt joyous to be amongst so many others celebrating.  While I know COVID is still going around, I no longer have any anxiety over us getting it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite a chill in the air, it was a sunny beautiful day.  The Easter Bunny arrived in the morning.  The girls are barely able to sit across one stair anymore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We captured a family pic on the way out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A walk to Whole Foods through the Town Green led us to a Town Green Easter Egg Hunt that the girls participated in for a few minutes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My parents, sister, and the boys arrived around lunchtime, and we had our first Easter Egg Hunt.  We modified the color scheme that we normally do as we didn\u2019t think a 3.5-year-old would grasp the concept of only picking up select colors.  Anyone could pick any eggs they found up to a certain number in which they had to wait for everyone to get that number before running off for the next round. Avery re-injured her foot during one of the last races.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First the obligatory Easter Basket picture with the girls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The boys joined them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Added a few more to the mix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then they were off!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My mom was just as into it!  I think deep down she wanted to join in the hunt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chocolate and candy were sampled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A little playtime and bike riding and a lot of afternoon cooking.  Emerson wanted to make beef bourgeoise, which is no simple task.  Her and I spent most the afternoon in the kitchen.  The downstairs was bright and airy, and we watched everyone outside while we prepped and cooked. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

A second smaller hunt occurred in the evening.  This time jellybeans were the surprise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

My parents came back in the evening, and we enjoyed a wonderful dinner cooked by Emerson and myself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was so great to be celebrating another weekend with my family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
