Most of my childhood Easter memories include my cousins, the Tippetts. We would get together for a wonderful dinner, and hunt for easter eggs in their backyard. It was the perfect place for it, they had a hill covered in ivy which made for really good hiding spots. We liked that house so much my parents actually bought and moved into it when the Tippetts moved away. Anyway, they are really fun memories and I loved growing up so close to so many cousins that we could make memories with.
Well Lexi is finally old enough to grasp the idea of Easter, and I'm excited to start filling her mind with traditions and memories of her own. We dyed Easter eggs this week, the Easter bunny visited our house last night, and even hid some eggs in the backyard. Today we went out and found them. It was fun for her, but I couldn't help feeling a little sad she doesn't and probably wont have cousins to do this with maybe ever. She's got 2 cousins now (1 from each side), but geographically things just don't look like they'll be working out anytime soon, especially if we head off to Texas. But alas, not everyone is lucky enough to live close to family, right? Well just about everyone in the neighborhood here does...so we spend most of the smaller holidays entertaining ourselves and thinking it would be great to have some family around who'd invite us over for dinner :)
Here are some great pics from our day (the Easter bunny brought Lexi a kite, so we spent the afternoon at Wheeler Farm trying it out):
