Saturday before Easter is egg-dying-with-the-cousins-day. It's as important a day as Easter itself in our family, at least to the girls and Nicolas. We lost Peter to parkour and work and we lost Erik and Jared to lacrosse this year. But, Grandma Beverley was able to be there with us this year to color eggs. She definitely still enjoys it as much as the kids! We do traditional single colors, tiedye, and whatever the creative kids come up with. Now that they are all old enough to do their own, or have older cousins help them, Alison, Cia and I get to just hang out and chat. :-)
Because the weather decided to cooperate, kind of, we decided to go to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point while our eggs dried. It was still a little chilly but the rain held off, mostly. Seemed like the rest of Utah came up with the same plan as it was CROWDED! But the tulips did show themselves (the girls and I had gone the week before and the tulips were MIA) and it was beautiful.
It's so much fun watching all the cousins interact, and watching Piper be, well, Piper. I, once again, was overwhelmed with gratitude that we live by Jeff and Mark and our kids are all best friends. That is how it should be.
