Easter falls late this year. But all of a sudden it seemed to come upon us quickly. I am sure the stint out in AZ had a lot to do with it. It left a short week to prepare. I say prepare like I had a lot to do with it. But not really. A big cleaning effort for a cleaning crew to come in and do a long over due scrub down. Cleaning is something that I can be of good use and requires little direction. The boys can help too. And they did. But all the organization, decorating, preparation and cooking is Demi of course. She always does such a great job with that.
This has become a great family gathering. My family came of course. But Linda's sister is so good about making the effort to come. Actually both her sisters are good about visiting. But Jinx is really great about making this one each year. As usual we had way too much to eat. I was full after appetizers. Well, almost.
The boys had a great time. They played games with their older cousin. They doted on their younger cousin. The had an excellent time shepparing her around the Easter Egg Hunt. It's good practice ground for the boys to learn proper behavior in social settings. What better practice than with family. You can screw up royally and be forgiven. Tough on Mom & Dad sometimes but we will live.
