Demi did it again. She created another family moment that will last in the kids memories. She went beyond the great food and decorating. Demi outlined a very enjoyable day.
Demi scheduled brunch for 11 AM. That would be followed by some games. Naps were optional and encouraged. The traditional Easter Egg Hunt would be next. That would be held outside, next door at my parents, weather permitting. Around 3 would be Linner (something between lunch and dinner). Then maybe more games or naps. 5 PM was dessert time.
Demi was sick of the chowing down and then folks leaving. I can't blame her. There wasn't enough socializing. And this schedule really worked well. Gametime was very entertaining. We played Apples to Apples, which I highly recommend. There is not a lot of "game" to get in the way. You don't have a lot of pieces or strategy. The player interaction is high. And it does tell you quite a bit about each individual.
The family actually spent some time before and after dessert, watching the Masters. It caught the attention of all, even the kids. Of course XBOX did come calling later on. But the boys were really into the holiday and got into the spirit. It really was one of our more successful holidays. The only thing that would have been an improvement, was if some of Demi's family could have been here.
