We started the Easter party as soon as we arrived at Grandma and Grandpa's Randalls. My sister, Valerie, and her kids, Carson, Brynnley and McKay, had come down earlier in the week and we overlapped by a few hours. We made the most of those hours.
We began by decorating sugar cookies. This is a tradition we have been doing for years - sugar cookie eggs. The kids had a great time. Gavin's eggs looked very professional. Enoch loaded as much frosting as he could onto each cookie. Kate's favorite cookie had a 'K' on it.
After cookies, we colored eggs. I'm so glad we did this there because I hate coloring eggs - such a mess, although the kids love it. They mix colors and came up with some great eggs.
Finally, the egg hunt. We hid plastic eggs downstairs because the weather was chilly. There were plenty of eggs filled with lots of candy and my parent's specialty of coins. Also, each child had an egg with their name written on it and inside was a $5 bill. What fun! The kids all had a great time.
On Friday, we relaxed, watched some TV and visited. In the afternoon we played at a great new park in Fairview.
The kids got a great surprise on Friday night when Dad unexpectedly showed up. Greg wasn't planning on coming down, but he missed us so much he made the trip after work.
On Saturday we had a great time on the 4-wheelers. Gavin helped Grandma split some wood and I finished a skirt for Kate. We had a great time, but by Saturday, the kids were ready to go home. I found this note sticky taped to the wall. I'll translate Kindergartenese: I miss my home. Do you miss your home? Love Enoch.

It was so much fun! Thanks so much for coming down! It means more to us than you know! I'm glad Enoch had a good time, but I'm glad that he loves (and misses) his home. P.S. We found three eggs after you left--only candy, no money, Gavin!
