We switch holidays every year, so this year was the Crea's for Easter. We headed to the farm on Friday night and got there about 9:30pm, with Brendan and Megan ready to go after their naps in the car. They didn't get to bed until 11pm, and both kids were up early, but my family watched Brendan when I put Megan down for a nap and Brad and I slept in a bit. After breakfast Brad, Brendan and Dad headed outside to change the oil in the car and switch the mower from the snow blade to the mower deck. Brendan played outside all morning, and then after lunch we dyed Easter Eggs. We went to the Easter Vigil Mass and didn't get home until 11pm again, so we went right to bed. The next morning we found Easter baskets, had breakfast, then headed in to the cities for Easter Dinner at my Grandma and Grandpa Crea's. After dinner (and some bumps, bruises, and scrapes from Brendan running around outside) we headed back home, only to find that the Easter bunny had visited our house too. Such a lucky little boy! Happy Easter!
