Warm weather returns to El Paso in time for a beautiful Easter weekend. To me, Easter is really the beginning of Spring. Now I can look forward to the dreaded summer months. I am definately not a summer person. Not much about summer I actually like, maybe the roses blooming and the longer hours of daylight - but that’s about it. But back to my original topic – Easter – which is something I really enjoy. Why do I enjoy Easter you ask? Because, Easter always brings a renewed sense of Hope, a new burst of energy, and a reminder of all the wonderful things in our lives. Plus I love Easter egg hunts! I know – I’m way too old to get excited about Easter egg hunts – but I just can’t help it. I love to buy the candy, fill the plastic eggs, and hide them in trees, grass, and any nook and cranny you can find. And then, the best part is watching all the little ones scurry around filling their baskets or buckets with all the treasures.
Granny and Pa sent Emily the cutest Easter basket filled with chocolate goodies and “money” eggs, which Emily loves. She doesn’t eat much of the candy (her parents do that); but she loves counting the dollars and quarters in the Money eggs. She collected enough money eggs to pay for her upcoming field trip and had some spending money left over. What a treat!
The grandsons & their parents (AKA Jeffrey & Chemenn and Jennifer & Mike) spent Easter in KY! That’s the best – Sunday dinner on Granny’s back porch and rides around the farm on the tractor and wagon. Festivities this year even included a night out with the extended Chugg clan at the newest local restaurant and a trip to see real bunnies at Pa’s friends farm. Such fun! Pics below to prove the fun! What can I say – I sure love my family – they are the best and I’m not prejudiced at all! (That’s not a joke – I make that decision based on pure objectivity!)
The boy is so cute, his basket is nearly full. The eggs hunt as too easy!
