Easter morning, the kids woke up way before the grown-ups were ready to get going. Lydia was up by 6:50 and corralled others and everyone was up and going by around 7:30. First kids found their Easter baskets and then Lily gave everyone the egg hunt instructions and then everyone was off hunting eggs.
After egg-hunting, everyone sat around the table and enjoyed the spoils of their egg-hunting and their baskets. They ate lots of candy and played with their kinetic sand.
We thought it was cute that Basil rested on top of Clarissa.
Clarissa had the cutest playtime with Meera playing with dolls.
Then all the kids played in the sad box. The weather was absolutely gorgeous.
Clark enjoyed reading Bill Gate’s book about the environment.
After the kids got sandy in the sandbox, I had a super fun water fight with them. Everyone was safe as long as they were on the stairs. All of the kids, except Clarissa, mostly hung out on the stairs and periodically left to try to get me and then ran back to safety. Clarissa never went on the stairs, she just stayed out playing with me the whole time and she got super wet. I also got very very wet. It was so so so fun. Everyone had their share of getting me wet and getting wet.
For dinner, Georgia and my parents came over. We had incredible latkes that Lily and Swathi made with Lily’s amazing home-made applesauce, and a variety of delicious sides.
We had such an amazing time all day today. And we are so grateful for all the people we got to share it with!
