Easter

 Once again Andy and Georgette hosted an amazing Easter for the Hobson family. The youngest child there was 12 years old, but they still hosted a spectacular Easter Egg hunt for the granchildren, several of whom are far into their legal adult years. It was fabulous. And of course there was enough food to feed the neighborhood.  

Easter morning we only had three kids at home, but we still made a basket for Ethan and his partner. They just got their baskets later in the day!  

We also had my family over for dinner and an egg hunt. It was wonderful to have people over, but also very hard. In past years everyone has always had Easter plans, so we did Easter at home and invited Mom and Heidi over for a traditional dinner. Heidi always filled a few (or a lot of eggs) with hand crafted items and hid them for my children. It was so hard to celebrate without her this year. She would have loved watching all of our nieces and nephews running around, and I hate that she is missing them grow up.

Having everyone over was amazing, and I'm glad they came. But that doesn't mean I didn't spend the morning crying as well. Life is never all one way or another. 

That being said, look at these cute people who came to visit! 

They are amazing and perfect and I love them so much. Even when they almost kill the fish by helpfully feeding them. It's hard for little people to realize the difference between a few flakes of food and the entire large bottle of fish food. No children are fish were harmed, though. The frog, though, has put on some serious weight. I didn't know he could get that fat, that fast. He doesn't seem to be any worse for wear, though.
