The one thing I really love about Maison's school is the fact you can "call a spade a spade". With that said, we enjoyed a great Good Friday! The kids and I spent the day together getting things ready for Easter Egg Dyeing.
As a kid, we always dyed Easter Eggs on Good Friday while watching The Sound of Music. I was extremely disappointed to learn that The Sound of Music would only be on Saturday night this year, so we had to do without. (However, it would be worth purchasing if I could find it to ensure that this fiasco would not happen again.) The kids had a great time and they even got Jason involved!
We decided to take Maison out for dinner on Saturday because Papa Ed had to head back to Indy early on Sunday. He wanted to eat "at that sweet place," Red's Ale House. So we ate a delicious dinner and headed home.
We awoke on Sunday morning to find our eggs had been hidden and our baskets filled with treats! After the kids found their eggs, enjoyed a couple of treats, and scoped out their Easter baskets, we headed over to Grama Shari and Papa Ed's house. There were treats and cards awaiting their arrival as well.
We agreed with Maison that we would have Easter in the morning and his birthday in the evening, as long as he could have cake for breakfast. Sounded like a doable compromise for us. Maison and Libby had cake and icecream for breakfast while the rest of us enjoyed a delicious eggbake! Papa and Grammy let Maison open their gift in the morning. He spent the rest of the afternoon playing "Cars" on the Wii.
We had Grammy and Uncle over for Maison's birthday dinner (Chicken and beans) and had more cake and icecream. Maison got some really great gifts. Thanks to all those that sent cards, money, and gifts. They were greatly appreciated!
