Hip Hop Easter!

Easter always brings me back to some fun memories in Texas. Our first Easter traditions were established there as a family- be with amazing family and friends, have a delicious Easter lunch/dinner, do multiple egg hunts and slam confetti (cascarone) eggs! I really missed my Texas family this year and thank them for those memories..it is hard how to explain how to do confetti eggs when the element of surprise is what is best! :) I remember our last Easter with the King and Chapa family vividly...I finally cracked Nina with a confetti egg and she was shocked! Her family told me her plan and I had to get her first- those are the rules. Now, Nina will tell you a different story, but that is the true version! :) Nothing is better than watching adults slam each other with confetti eggs and endlessly laugh at one another! :)

However, Easter was wonderful in KS too! We ended up with a beautiful Easter Sunday. We were lucky to have Mickie's son in town for Easter weekend. Nick is 17 now! He got a dose of dealing with two wild children over the weekend and I am sure was ready to go back to NC on the first plane heading home. He even asked Rich, "What time is it? I don't want to miss my plane!" It was four hours until flight time! HA!

The girls enjoyed all the usual events for Easter- dying Easter eggs and egg hunts. We spent the whole day outside with friends. It was fun eating yummy foods, playing egg toss and relay games, egg hunts and showing KS about confetti eggs. The day ended with a water balloon fight with both my girls almost in tears- we just over did it a little too much in the sun! :) We even got sun burned! :( By 4:30pm, it was time for a nice television show and relaxation time! The girls were beyond exhausted!

Happy Easter 2012! Love you all and hope you had a glorious Easter too!
