Easter is coming

Did you know Easter is next Sunday?? It's true, it's early this year. I am excited for Easter this year, Alexis is finally old enough to look for eggs, we could probably paint them too if I was really brave. We'll see.....Some of my favorite Easter memories are sharing them with my cousins the Tippetts! In fact most of my childhood memories involve the Tippetts, growing up down the street from your cousins is the greatest! So if any family members want to coordinate permanent living situations down the street from us, I'm all in! Anyway, back to my Easter memories, the Tippetts had this great yard with half a mountain covered in Ivy, which was the best place to hide eggs. The big kids would usually hide them for the younger, and then the adults would hide them for us. Then we would have a big dinner with Ham, scallop potatoes, etc. Yum!
Well now I'm grown up and I have to make my own Ham, and our own family memories. The first year we were married I made an Easter basket for Matt, and hid eggs all over the house, I don't think he got such a kick out of it as I did :)....but then the next year it was his turn and he did the same..... again I don't think he got as much of a kick out of it as I did. Last year we skipped Easter all together since I was out of town till the day before, and here we are on our 4th Easter together time sure flies! I hope Lexi will bring some more energy to the egg hunt, cause I'm not sure how many more times I could get Matt to search for eggs around the house by himself!
Oh, and here is a shameless plug for our apples, they are great in Easter baskets! Email me if you are interested! Order by Tuesday the 18th to get them there in time forEaster! http://www.christascandyapples.com/ or Christa@christascandyapples.com

I have never had such good cooking as when your dad made our holiday meals. He is a miracle worker with meat!

I just read your last three posts.. your blog is so great! You are a perfect writer. :) I think I've said so before. But anyway, blogging is great, isn't it? I hope that you have a great Easter. I better start thinking about it too. I've got to figure out some traditions for our little family...although Jayden will have no clue what is going on for a while. :)
