Easter - Together

It was something from a dream. Waking up to the giggles and cries of happy children discovering Easter morning.






A run, breakfast, husband cleaned up the kitchen, and we headed out to the garden for planting. Hammering up the fence, many hands helping, holding, banging, and laughing. Planting was such fun. The kids needed help over the fence (for the bunnies AND the kids) and we dug, and dropped, and covered, and fertilized, and watered. Then we stood back to see out work. It has been a wonderful day of helpfulness, and happiness, and just us. 6 of us, finding out place with each other.





We began a new traditions began this year. Making cards, and buying flowers, and putting them all together for a walk through the neighborhood to wish our favorite neighbors a "Happy Easter". Oh, the kids, they dug this!! 







Don't you wish you were my neighbor?
Easter dinner yesterday with the family. Aunts, and cousins, and Nana and Paka. We laughed and hugged, chatted together. The children died eggs, lined up on the counter together. Coloring, dropping, and maveling over the colors coming out.


Egg hunting in the backyard. The children ran, and laughed. The pointed them out to each other, helping the little ones, and holding hands as they searched the bushes, and swinging set.




It was an Easter I'm tucking away in my heart. As these wee ones grow, I know these holidays will change and be different, and special yes, but different. I want to hang on to these years they are young and savor them. Life each moment to the fullest. Hug and kiss them too much, but so they never forget my luv.




The week was busy, but we fit in some crafting, and a visit with Baka. 



This place we are in is good. This time in our lives I mean. Its all feels good and right.

Happy Easter!
