Easter was a hit this year. Addie, Mark and I spent Good Friday together. We started the day by going to Grandma Sue and Papa Gene's closing on their house of 31 years. It is bittersweet. We are so excited to have them close, but saying goodbye to my childhood home was hard. Buyers of mine bought it, and they couldn't be a nicer couple. It really was the best-case scenario.

After the closing, we had some Easter activities planned. We decorated cookies, which I think Mark enjoyed as much as Addie. We also dyed Easter Eggs. This was a hit last year too. We dyed a dozen this year, though. Probably double that of last year. Addie had the routine down, and liked to narrate as she went, "Put da egg in, dip, dip, dip, and get it out.". She said it each time. Cute!

Easter has been the only nice day lately. It was sunny and pleasant...not like the rest of the spring. It enabled us to have an Easter Egg hunt outside, which Addie loved.
