Look at these guys! Eli's showing you his jelly bean, and Luke's posing with his Peter Rabbit ears and jacket. The guys had a really good Easter at the beach. We colored eggs with mom and dad, had egg hunts with Sid, and ate too many chocolate footballs. It was great. Mom and I even managed to take the boys to Duke Gardens to see the tulips (and climb trees). Luke played his new saxophone all weekend, and Eli dove right into his chocolate bunny and jelly beans.
Easter is my favorite holiday. I love that it comes just in time for spring, and it kind of sneaks up on you. It's not too over-the-top commercially. I have such warm memories of Easter morning, finding our Easter baskets, being allowed to eat all the candy we wanted, mom making coffee cake for breakfast, and wearing a new dress to church. One year I ate so much chocolate, I got hives and had to go to the doctor. Ah, the memories.
By the way, I survived my 40 days of wellness. And it was such a success, I'm starting over. (This time, maybe, not so strict.)
