Another Easter has come and gone and the husband didn’t let me get out my Easter decorations. *sigh* So I was happy we were celebrating Easter at my mom’s house where decorations were sure to be everywhere.


All my siblings, along with their spouses, or children or friends, gathered at my mom’s for our traditional Easter celebration. Everyone dressed in their Springy best, giggling from a sugar high, and strategizing for the egg hunt.


Any gathering in my family is good for at least one beating (Darcie whacked me on the butt with a HUGE plastic spoon), one outburst (Simeon yelled at his father for throwing eggs in the house–how’s that for backwards?), one little kid that no one really knows what they are saying (Ben kept talking excitedly to Greg who just nodded and said “Yeah!” a lot because he had no idea what his own child was yammering on about) and one cake that gets spit on when the candles are blown out (Was it Greg? Was it Ben? Neither will claim ownership–but I think they both look guilty).


By the end of the day, everyone was full, tired, and ready to go home. But you better believe we are already gearing up for the next gathering. I mean, who can really be happy without the chaos of family gatherings hiding just around the corner?


There are a bunch more silly pictures in the Easter 2006 category in the gallery. Enjoy!
