easter festival!

Grandma Mary enjoyed a week of Spring Break this last week, the same time Anna was enjoying hers. So...one Friday afternoon Grandma Mary invited Anna and Emmett to spend the day and overnight at her house. In anticipation of this fun event, Anna informed Grandma that it wasn't going to be an Easter party...it would be a FESTIVAL! "With balloons and streamers and EVERYTHING!"

Phew! That is one tall order! But, as usual Grandma Mary had an afternoon filled with surprises. The four of us had a lovely and delicious Good Friday lunch at her house, Auntie Tanya and Baby Tyson were even there!
Before lunch and before a thunderstorm hit, Anna and Emmett took to the backyard to hunt for Easter eggs that Grandma had hidden all over the yard. With the help of daddy, Anna found all of the eggs and Emmett found just one that made noise and figured out how to open it. He then proceeded to eat all of its contents. HA! He's no dummy.







After a delicious meal and time with the family, Steve and I enjoyed an afternoon and evening to ourselves...it was a real treat! Anna and Emmett had a great time at the FESTIVAL as I have been hearing about it ever since. Thank you Grandma Mary for a wonderful Easter celebration!
