Happy Easter!

Last year, we were in China for Easter so this was Maggie's first Easter at home, and she got to experience so much. She had 3 Easter egg hunts, her first Easter basket ( she was just a "little" spoiled), her first experience coloring eggs, and so much more. Last week, she also had her nails done, with the Easter bunny painted on her big toes. It was Maggie's idea.

Our weekend began with an Easter egg hunt at our neighbor's home. She is a single nurse and was so nice to have a hunt for the kids in the neighborhood. Maggie had a great time and, once again, got lots and lots of candy and other prizes. On Saturday afternoon my friend Mike and his 2 daughters visited from Knoxville. We haven't seen Andrea and Alicia in a couple of years as they are living with their mom in California. It was nice to see them. We all went to play goonie golf. You should have seen Maggie - she had so much fun, and would take no pointers from anyone - it's her stubborn streak.

Barbara's dad drove in Saturday evening and spent the night. On Sunday morning we woke up and Maggie found her Easter basket and eggs that the Easter bunny had hidden around the house. It was kind of like Christmas again - Maggie was overwhelmed and didn't say much. We then met Barbara's mom at Church and came home for a lunch of ham, deviled eggs, potato salad, green bean, baked beans, and coleslaw. We were joined by my mom and Barbara's aunt (as well as Barbara's mom and dad). Maggie found some more eggs hidden outside when we got home from church, so in essence, she had her FOURTH Easter egg hunt.

Maggie tired early and went to bed before 8 AM. Unfortunately we were all up at 3 AM due to some strong storms. Our power went out and was not restored until 7 PM tonight.

We hope everyone had a great holiday, it will definitely be a memorable one for us.
