Easter this year was unlike any Easter of the past, obviously. Being at home for Easter was bittersweet. On one hand, we are still healthy and safe here in our home, we have all we need, and the reason we celebrate Easter has not changed. On the other hand, we always look forward to spending Easter with family. We enjoy going to church and then having food and fun with the rest of the family, most often at Mouse and Pops house, afterwards. So, while we weren’t able to spend the day with family, we did try to make it fun/special at home. Mark made delicious homemade cinnamon rolls, and I made a broccoli and bacon quiche, and we watched church online on our TV screen then had our own version of an egg hunt.
We decided this year to have Nina go out first and hide eggs for Lyla, then once Lyla found all her eggs, she went out and hid the eggs for Nina to hunt for. They enjoyed hiding the eggs for each other and trailing the other around, ensuring they found everything.
Of course, Cayenne had to have her egg hunt. This got started a couple years ago after she snipered off the kids’ eggs during their egg hunts at Mousey and Poppy’s house. We have to leave her inside (much to her dismay) while the kids do their hunt. She whines and cries inside, but once they’re done, we filled some eggs with chicken jerky pieces, and Nina and Lyla hid them for her. She’s got such a good nose that she sniffs out the eggs, opens them with her mouth, and gets the chicken jerky from the inside. It’s very cute and she loves it, and no, she’s not spoiled at all!
