Easter

Easter was a whole new holiday celebration this year.  It was actually a relief to not buy candy to have to throw out hanging around for a month.  This year the Easter bunny brought money, maybe a movie, bubble bath, or a hat, and there were a few small pieces of candy appropriately proportioned for carb consideration.  I do believe that Dad was the biggest candy purchaser, he felt his holiday would not be complete without a chocolate bunny, he was accomodated and we all got along better for it. 

Archer had a fever for Easter morning and returned to bed while Dad, Emma, and Ridge put on their new Easter attire and headed to church.

We all summoned the strength to go to Grandma and Grandpa's to feast and feast with our cousin (who also was feverish).  We had a low-key holiday and enjoyed our time visiting with family.
