Home for Easter
April 11, 2009
Easter weekend, Ruben headed to South Texas to be with his family and I headed to Central Texas to be with mine. That Saturday, I spent most of the day with my parents. We did a little geocaching and then spent some time with my sister at her place.

Dad Cooking Breakfast at Church Easter Morning
Early Easter
Early Easter morning, I accompanied my parents to church to attend their sunrise service. Afterward the church hosted their traditional pancake breakfast. For as long as I can remember, my Dad has cooked the pancakes for this event.

Family and Food
A Family Gathering
That afternoon, the entire family gathered at my parents’ home to eat, visit, and hunt eggs. It’s a tradition of ours that the whole family (adults included) takes part in the hunt. While the kids are challenged to find eggs of a specific color, that “big” kids have to find the egg with their name on it. Those who hide the eggs try to make the hunt as challenging (and entertaining) as possible.
