Easter

April 12, 2009

Easter used to look very different for me. Maybe it will go back someday, I don’t know. We used to get up, do an egg hunt, look for baskets. Eat a yummy breakfast, then go to church. Come home and have a huge family lunch/ dinner late in the afternoon. Lots of family. Lots of getting dressed up. 

This year was… much more low key, shall we say?

 I spent most of the morning on the couch, and watched Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium. A horribly corny movie which I adore and always makes me cry. I went outside for a little nature photo shoot.

The day was almost perfect. Would I have loved to see some more people? Of course. I always would. I saw Ellie and Caleb and my sister on the computer this morning. I talked to my mom. I got my family, we are figuring out new ways for some of this and I know we will see each other at another holiday. The day was still perfect, until I ran out of an ingredient when making the cakes and had to go to FIVE stores to get it. That was annoying. 

But at the end of the day, eating cake and Easter candy for dinner, having each other… it’s pretty perfect. I can’t complain.
