Easter...
(just a taste of the life of an Ershbock... we take our holidays seriously...)
we had a pre-easter morning with Ed's mom (this was last week)... she got Adora a basket with treats and we woke her up early to celebrate and go to the easter egg hunt at howe park
off to the easter "egg-o-rama" --- fun stuff
while waiting for the actual 'hunt' there was lotts of fun and games... face paint...and candy...
more smiles...
more fun and games...
unfortunately their easter egg hunt there was not much fun...
They had it separated into different age groups, and the area made for the 'walking to three years old' was very small, and there were hardly enough eggs for half the children to "find" even one... let alone the fact that a lot of the parents, in their consumerist menatlity, went in with or allowed their older kids in to "help" their younger siblings... as well as trample the little ones... There wasn't room or time for a "hunt" at all, it was very chaotic, and there were adults standing on the sidelines shouting "go get 'em, get 'em, go!!" It was more like a free for all frenzy that left many little girls crying.. it was a very sad thing. It upset eddie so much we almost left right then and there, and of course he wanted to give some people a peice of his mind... But his mother and I figured we paid 8 bucks for our tickets and we weren't leaving without an egg or two, so we convinced eddie to take adora in to the bigger kid one and help get her some... he had to stand over 2 eggs and threaten any kid that came to get them just so adora could have the experience of "finding" one...
Well, to make it a happy memory, we went home and had our own easter egg hunt, and that was great... she loved it, and would run across the yard when she saw one... or point... and would get so excited... there were so many, and to her it was very important to get them all... it was so fun to watch...
easter day
this was the best shot I could get of the girls and their matching dresses that grammy made them... we were stupid enough to try this after the sugar rush... cuz of course we had to have a real easter hunt on easter day, with real treats in each egg...
oh and eddie really wanted me to show off our dinner and our pysanky (ukrainian easter eggs)... or at least our humble attempts at it...
(coming soon)

What a beautiful Easter Story. I love the picture of you and Adora. You'll have to take one of you and Chloe as well. You made my day seeing your smiling faces.
