Easter Weekend....

[Mark42]

Today is Good Friday, and Sunday is Easter. So this is a big celebration at my house. We start this afternoon by having the kids friends over (about 15 kids 6-11 years old) for an Easter Egg hunt outside. I have a large property, about 3.5 acres total, so we hide a few hundred plastic eggs with candy inside (I find eggs all through the year, and sometimes, the kids find eggs from last year!). I was up late last night putting candy in plastic eggs. My finger tips hurt.

Then this evening, its a big dinner for the adults. Most family will be here, about 15 adults plus the little ones. Serving a spiral cut ham, lamb, and all the fixings. We take time to honor the Lord with prayer, and then dig in. About 8 adults plus their kids will sleep over.

Saturday, we make big breakfast, then after lunch, its time to dye the hard boiled eggs. This year we cut back, only boiled 5 dozen eggs. This is a big event where artistic value counts among the adults. We always try to out do each other with new methods of dying eggs.

Sunday is Easter, and the family and guests will head out to our church for service. Then back home to eat some more.

I wanted to get an oil change and install the front sway bar this weekend, but it might be tight with all the activity. Will see how it goes.

Happy Easter!

If all you do is work and get drunk, life will suck. Don't blame it on Easter. We are having a fantastic time this whole Easter weekend.

Maybe you should try a change.

Its Easter Sunday. Slept in late, but still made the 10:00 am service, glad we got there on time, it was a great sermon, then home by 12:00, nice lunch, still have leftovers from yesterdays feast.

Decided to head down to my parents house, they always like seeing the family, especially the kids.

Nice quiet day, saw some neat cars on the road today. Viper, 40th Mustang GT vert, a few showroom condition corvettes, and a bunch of 30's and 40's classic hot rods. Guess Easter Sunday afternoon is cruising time. I have the 'Bird washed and waxed, so its looking good.

Life is good.

Don't eat too much candy and eggs!

Happy Easter!

[LTb1ow]

I scared a couple looking at cars at a dealership this afternoon, cutout and WOT ftw.:twisted: Its been a while since I got it up in the WOT range...

Did a coupla laps round that road, cept no one wanted to play. :cry:

Took it back home, and now I am doing some school work. Pretty uneventful day to say the least.

[Savage_Messiah]

i am cleaning the **** out of my room. bed is apart and out of the room, doing shelves with leyers of dust on them now, finding **** from 10-15 years ago, found 4 perfect condition stickers from tattoo the Earth 10 yrs ago, random keys that I don't know what they go to...


And I'm highly allergic to dust. This makes me very glad we have a spare bedroom that I'll likely be using tonight :lol:

[sweetbmxrider]

i did hunt for eggs! ate too much sweet **** too! :D

[SteveR]

Is it weird that I woke up with chocolate on my butt?

Today consisted of Gym and checking my email every 5 minutes.
Good productive day if I do say so myself.

[Mark42]

Decided to stay at the folks house with the two youngest (6 and 10 yo). They get a real kick out of sleepover, especially at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Wife and oldest son (20) have gone home, they are enjoying some quality time together, especially seeing as he is home from college.

Such a nice time of year.... Everything is starting new. As a family, we are looking forward to what the spring and summer will bring.

Will have the boats ready in a couple of weeks, and looking forward to a few spring outings on the salt water. The new cabin on the Bayliner should be fun to spend the night on the water in. Got to add a new CD player to the boat to power the new marine grade speakers I installed last fall. Got some new fishing gear, this is something my daughter really likes to do. And amazingly, this 10 yo is very good at it.

Everything in time. Never rush. Stop and appreciate the things that God has given you, especially family. As time passes, you will find that the most important things in life are family, not friends or clubs or other associations. Its well worth the time and effort to put into developing good family relations.

In most religions, be it Christian, or Jewish or other, Easter represents a new beginning. A resurrection and life. We make the most of it. It is what you make of it.

Happy Easter!
