Easter 2008

This year as lent was winding down the kids were eager to resume the activities which they had given up. Nathan had his mp3 player charged up and ready to go and Riley was especially eager to dig into the oatmeal chocolate chip cookies Mom made for Easter day.

As usual the Easter bunny made a stop at the house and hid lots of eggs and left baskets for the kids. The kids were ready for the egg hunt at what seemed like the crack of dawn. Gabby was especially excited about the Hula Hoop that the bunny left for her. Check her out in this video. Oh, later on I timed Gabby for over ten minutes doing the Hula Hoop!


This year everyone gathered at our house and Chris prepared the meal. Laurie and Chris made the traditional Oliva cauplets to kick off dinner. Of course by the time we all had our fill of the cauplets nobody was ready for the rest of dinner, well, except Bill. Like always there was too much food and way too many leftovers.
