Happy Easter!

We had a wonderfully busy Easter celebration this year! We enjoyed all of our time with our family celebrating Easter.  It is such a beautiful time of year with a great message...the spirit of Easter is all about hope, love, and joyful living.

 Wake up George the Easter Bunny came!

Wake up sleepy Clara bear!

 The bunny left a note and some foot prints to follow.

Checking out the note.

Look what the bunny left...a princess movie!

What is in here?

Mr. Potato Head and Minnie Mouse!

Mater!

CANDY!

Mommy's Little bunny

That is how you rock some bunny ears!

 Happy First Easter sweet Elyse!

 Egg Hunting!

 Aunt Christina, Uncle Sayed, and Elyse

The cousins...no one would sit still!

A note about the following pictures:  My family grew up playing an egg game called Epper.  In this game the hard boiled eggs that were dyed for Easter are used and hit together.  The oldest person hits the egg of the youngest person until there is only one unbroken egg left.  Whoever has the last egg standing is the champion.  In John's family they played the Greek version of this game.  It is called Christos Aneste which means Christ has risen.  When one person hits the other person's egg they say Christos Aneste and the other person responds Alithos Anesti which means truly, he is risen. Yet another way our upbringings parallel each other.  Playing the same game under different names.  We always look forward to this fun game each year!
