Easter
So, this is a little late. But this Easter we weren't planning on doing anything. So then me and my sister were talking and thought about putting a little something together with family, but we couldn't get a hold of mom to talk to her about it so we decided we were just going to call our brother and have him come home for Easter. And of course, my sister would too. So I talked to dad and we went out while mom was at Bingo to get baskets, plastic grass, and stuff for the Easter baskets. So, chocolate bunnies, jelly beans, Robin's eggs (my real name's Robin, so it was always funny to me), Peeps, and marshmallow bunnies. We even got a chocolate bunny for my mom. Then I hid the baskets in my room. When Christine got home, we got eggs to dye, food dye (couldn't find the tablets), stuff for mimosas (my sister insisted on Easter mimosas), and little three-packs of Ferrero Rocher (again, my sister's idea). I put the candy in the baskets upstairs then we made plans to color the eggs in the morning.
So we spent the morning finding the perfect way to boil the eggs. Then I went upstairs to wake up my sister, and she set an alarm to wake up to. Apparently, 10:00 was too early for her. I told her she needed to get up to color the eggs. She insisted on waiting until the alarm. I gave in on that one. But I was hyper the entire morning. My dad thinks it was all the coffee I had that morning, but coffee doesn't make me hyper. I was just so excited! And when my sister came downstairs at last she got a cup of coffee and I brought the baskets down to show everyone. My brother wouldn't be home til 6:30, but that was okay. Mom had these sea shell stickers and me and my sister used them along with the dyes to decorate the eggs. My sister mostly used them. My dad tried to draw a bunny on one of them but gave it to me and my sister to fix it so it looked cuter. So my sister fixed it up for him. Both my sister and my dad were born the year of the rabbit, so they decided it was both of theirs.
After we decorated the eggs, my dad, my sister, and I all got our cameras and set up the baskets with the eggs and took a bunch of pictures. Christine made mimosas, which kinda made me sick and tired, so my hyperness dropped dramatically. I'm usually pretty good with alcohol, so I think it was mixing it with grapefruit juice that got me. Anyway, my brother came over and we showed him our setup and his basket. Meanwhile, I'd been picking jelly beans and robin eggs out of mine all day long, and had eaten my marshmallow bunny.
My pictures are too big right now, but hopefully I'll get one shrunk down to size to post it here.
