| The happy couple, up to their old tricks |
 |
| Ineke thought she hit the MotherLoad as she was opening up the largest of the eggs which was not only impressive in size but hanging from a tree and duct-taped to protect the immeasurable treasures within. Little did she know that it was filled with a crushed soda can, some empty wrappers and a single measly mini-kitkat for her efforts. (No doubt the shenanigans of the conspiring boys above.) |

 |
| "Resurrection Rolls" in which an empty tomb is revealed after baking a dough-wrapped marshmallow. The marshmallow dipped in cinnamon was meant to represent Jesus' body, wrapped in spices. We mustn't take the analogy too far though. I can get behind an empty cavernous roll but there it must end as I am certain Jesus didn't ooze and puddle. |
One "gift" middle age has given me in the last year or two is the inability to sleep. Or should I say the ability NOT to sleep?
(Even if I want to.)
It is a bane unless it happens around 2:30/3ish on Easter morning, leaving me time to finish up all the Easter things I had left undone the night before...like setting up the table, hanging the hanky bunting, making clues and going out with a flashlight in my robe to hide Easter treats.
In these instances, insomnia becomes a superpower.
Easter Egg stuffing elevated to a whole new level as I now have health conscious adult children.
Pistachios, cashews, beef jerky and chocolate covered coffee beans rounded out the jellybeans and PEEPS this year- and the grocery budget barely recovered.
With each stuffed egg, I felt my nose pointing upward more and more. (What a snob.)

You always do things with such creativity and style. It looks like a perfect Easter celebration. Lynn Ewing, Pecos, NM
What a lovely Easter! Love that last picture—beautiful, beautiful family! C & K..so cute!! I can SO TOTALLY relate to the “gourmet foods” for the Easter baskets, Christmas stockings etc. it’s no longer candy or chocolate but now expensive nuts, gourmet cheese, health drinks, etc!?!!! Whew!! We may have to go to “stockings only” next year! Ha! $$
I loved your letter…eek!!! It absolutely made my day—I was grinning from ear to ear….!! Look for a response soon!
Hairy twin seems very happy, despite the low self esteem of his lovely wife.
Beautiful family! And such nice pictures all around.
May God bless you all!
With love from friend who also would like to sleep more
