Easter 2009

My hubby and I had different favorite traditions growing up.  Mine was to go buy a new dress, new shoes, and maybe a pretty bonnet. His was that they colored eggs.  So, now we do both with our children.  My boys don’t get a bonnet but they do get something new.   This year it was just haircuts, so far.

This year because of illness, we couldn’t go to church.  So, we will dress up next Sunday, hopefully, in our new attire.   Cascarones are hollow chicken eggs filled with confetti.   They are used during Easter and thrown or broken over someone’s head, exploding the confetti everywhere.   We love it!  This year after we hunted eggs  – the fights  playtime began. My father-in-law really knows how to throw an egg.  My lip is still healing.  It was so much fun!  (On his behalf, he was just aiming for my head, in total fun.) 

This tradition is still new to us, but it is so much fun and totally messy.  We do it outdoors only! We were not even merciful to Grammy and Deetah. 

Grammy and Deetah have to leave tomorrow.  We have had a wonderful week with them visiting.  What a blessing they are!

We hope you had a blessed Easter!
