Easter Egg Decorating Party

Well it's Sunday now and the party was yesterday. It went much better than I had even imagined. I am quite pleased. We had a blast. There were tons of eggs for everyone to decorate so there was time to try a bit of everything and do anything they wanted. Larissa, Chris and Alex got along fine. Larissa stayed on her end of the table for the most part because you know boys have COOTIES. Christy was a good Aunt and made sure that she sprayed the boys down with Invisible Cootie spray so they were o.k. (Larissa later informed us that "Invisible" cootie spray didn't really exist. DUH! Sometimes we adults just don't get it. I mean REALLY!)

We had a large lunch and did a great deal of laughing and the kids bounced inside and out to shake off all the sitting. They really did wonderfully. Alex made some interesting colors, Chris was very serious and dilligent he was a man on a mission, I have to say though that I think Larissa was the most creative. She did a little bit of everything.

I think the adults had fun as well. My sister Debra said that she hadn't colored eggs in forever because she didn't have children. Christy and I looked at her and said "that's when you borrow them and then can send them home". We all got a good laugh. My mom and Christy's mom seemed to enjoy coloring them and just talking with everyone. Christy's dad checked out about 4 of our chairs (he had to make sure they were fit for sittin'). He checked out the sleeping capability of two of them and deemed them o.k. hehe. He spent some time with us all at the table and got to "catch up on all his gossip, listen to the hens cluck, etc." He seemed to have fun even though he didn't color any eggs. It was a great time and wonderful memories. I will publish pictures later.

Looks like we might do this again next year.!
