Easter

Dear Caida,

I'm trying to catch up on documenting your childhood.  :)  Sorry I fell behind.  I DID put a summary of our Easter celebrations (on the 7th, the Saturday before) on my family blog, so I'm just copying and pasting the description here for you:

"So our church had a really great breakfast and Easter Egg hunt this morning at a local park. I was sooo excited to take pictures of Caida (my niece) as she ran around laughing and looking for the magical eggs that bring such happiness on Easter weekend. But this is what really happened. Caida walked around like a zombie because she was so tired and sad her cousin couldn't make it, not to mention she didn't really know what was going on. And she hadn't done a real Easter egg hunt in a while so she didn't really "get" how to hunt for them...so we would find one and then throw it in front of her and yell, "Look, Caida, you found one!" Then she would slowly pick it up, look at it, open it and decide if she liked what she saw inside...not in a rush whatsoever to find eggs faster than any other kid. Oh yeah, and if she had to get down on her knees and get dirt on her hands to get an egg? Forget it! She slowly wiped the mud off and stood up, leaving the egg where it was and just looking at us like "What is happening?" :) It was an adventure. I couldn't find a good photo moment, so I don't have any. :) We will have to do a practice round next year to prepare her, I think! :)

But afterwards we stopped by my sister's house and decorated eggs, make sugar cookies, and played with Caida's toys while she attempted to tell us knock-knock jokes with minimal success. :) It was a good Saturday-before-Easter. :)"

Here are some pictures from Easter.  :)

We'll get 'em next year.  :)

Sure love you!
