The idea of celebrating our first Easter away from family was daunting. This changed as we learned to celebrate with new friends. Although not the same, it gave the kids a true sense of the holiday, and Scott and I were distracted from our homesickness. The Friday before Easter we were invited to a BBQ/pool party. The kids colored eggs by the pool while parents enjoyed ham and salad. Then they enjoyed an egg hunt in the dark with head lamps! Andrea (our host) had stuffed and hidden 300 eggs! Saturday was a great baseball game. Clear, sunny, 80. Easter Sunday we woke to filled Easter baskets and an egg hunt of our own. Fiona discovered that our little nest of eggs had in fact hatched into 5 chicks! Later in the afternoon we headed to another neighbor home for another BBQ! I am still vegetarian...so I brought a bean burger. Wes was not offended placing it next to the homemade venison sausage made from the deer his father in law had recently shot. Mmmmmm.
