Easter 2020

My kids haven't been home together for Easter in forever, so, once I realized the day was rapidly approaching, I knew I had to keep the tradition alive. I online ordered eggs and candy, dug out their Easter baskets, and insisted we don masks to enter the Honey Baked Ham store for a spiral ham for our holiday dinner.

The Easter bunny did her his usual marking of the eggs with initials so one child didn't receive more than the other, and then she he filled the eggs and hid them around the house. Tom The bunny was very giddy to be going back to the ritual of hiding the eggs, remembering the old days with affection.

Luckily, the youngest still has the enthusiasm for holiday traditions

Oleg had not participated in this tradition before, and fortunately for him the eggs had initials, otherwise he might have ended up with an empty basket. The girls had an advantage. I mean, it isn't like the bunny found new hiding spots in our small house nor are the girls old enough to have forgotten. Eventually, Oleg realized if he just followed Darcy he'd score his eggs.

All three "kids" got into the hunt, and this might actually be the year where we found all the eggs. Usually, there are one or two that are not found until months later. Then it was Elliot's turn, and all five of us enjoyed watching him search and open his eggs more than anything we did that entire day.

Our dinner was delicious with Honey Baked ham, Grandma's potatoes (Simply Potatoes cheesy recipe but Darcy refers to it as this as Grandma Mary Anne likes to make it), green beans, and a brownie ice cream sundae.

Easter in quarantine was a success!
