Mexican Easter

We opted for a Mexican Easter lunch this year (we had traditional Easter food a couple Sundays ago) and I think it might be a new tradition.

The crew before the egg hunt

It was a lovely day--in the mid 70s--a huge contrast to last Easter where the kids were running around all bundled up and freezing. After lunch, the kids had a brief egg hunt and we played a VERY entertaining game of catch phrase. Feces Shovel anyone or what about a peaceable agreement? Our boy seemed somewhat obsessed with stuffing the entire egg into his mouth and that kept him entertained. We were missing the other parts of our family and hope you all had a relaxing day as well. I listened to most of GC this weekend and enjoyed the arrangement of "Abide with me tis Eventide" in the last session which is a favorite anyway but I was filled and I needed to be filled.

Brother-cousins.

W perfectly posed for rebound and A, not sure what he's doing but it is funny.

My 4 nephews are super cool. They call each other brother-cousins. One of them is incredibly good in any sport with a ball (baseball, basketball, football, soccer) for a 5 year old. One of them creates incredibly intricate and super advanced lego structures for a 6 year old. One of them has proven to be quite the little snowboarder for a 5 year old and well the other one is just stinkin' cute- he's just about 1 year older than our little guy and I can tell they are going to be buds.

Yesterday one of them said, "You know Lars is a brother-cousin now". That's right, he is part of the club. I know they are all still young but I like how they are a little pack. It's nice to have brother-cousins.
