Happy Easter

One of the things we look forward to around Easter is Aunt Ginny's annual Easter Egg Hunt. She has been kind enough to host one every year since Bear was old enough to walk and this year was special because it was Jack's first one and my brother Chris was in from Ohio as well. This year the hunt was the day before Easter Sunday and, although it didn't rain, it was pretty cold. We had to put some extra layers on the kids before we sent them out in the cold.

Jack's cousin Elizabeth helped him find his first egg. Which was pretty much the beginning and the end of the hunt for Jack. All he needed was one egg.

Bear put forth a little more effort--

While Jack sat back with his lone egg. . .

And the results at the end of the hunt. Notice the baskets of Alex, Tori, and Katie runneth over. And check out Bear's. What's up with her? Where's her competitive streak? Come on Bear-- have some pride.

Ned even took a little video of the festivities. The production quality of this video makes "The Blair Witch Project" look like it was shot with the budget of "Titanic." Clearly, Ned needs to practice.

And here's a last shot of Jack taken after the fabulous lunch, the opening of the kid's goodie bags, and the actual Easter Egg Hunt. That is one fine-looking boy.

We all had a great time---Jack was completely worn out. Yet another Saturday night at Chez Skinner.

Today we attended the early service for Easter -- not the sunrise service but just the standard 8:45 one. Then it was off to Mom and Dad's for Easter dinner. Good times and no work for me. Can it get any better?

Love,
