Even though I had done an early morning post, I thought I add a few thoughts and pictures of our day spent together.

Now...all the brilliantly colored eggs that were hidden by two handsome men in our family, have been emptied, and saved until another year.

The carefully created carrot cake, made by my daughter and her sweet little helper, has been eaten (well at least some of it).

The little ones worked hard at finding all the carefully hidden eggs.

But there were times one just had to take a brief, immediate rest and eat a gummy butterfly.  An energy boast:)

Then the moments of true excitement came, as they opened each and every one of the treasured eggs.

Their created nest favors were finally revealed to their parents.  Their enthusiasm and joy over all the little things means so much to me.

The time we spent together was yet another special memory in our hearts.   

After weeks like this past ones, I have come to appreciate times together more than ever!
