We went to ACF Saturday service which allowed us to go to Easter Sunday service with Cory, Arielle, Dad and Stacia. Arielle and the kids were home sick. My, how our family is shrinking and growing at the same time. LOL

We had a family gathering over here this afternoon for those who could make it: BreZak, Carrie and Girls, Jared and Noah, and Nolan. It was a lot of fun. We celebrated Bella's 10th birthday and zoomed Allie in (Note Jared's phone). We all SWEAR a picture was taken of Allie's phone face up by Bella's as she blew out candles, but the photo hasn't turned up.
Melia was able to talk with Auntie Cheryl and several of her cousins. We laughed that *I* made the Guava Cake (Melia's Granma's recipe, in photo) and *she* made the Apple Pie for Easter. There's a cultural exchange at its best. Yes, we still have snow on Easter.
We did have an egg hunt. Melia set it up with most of them inside, though that didn't stop kids from looking outside. Bachan did help the youngest searchers just a bit. We let Noah and Trudy have a 5 min head start. 
Sweet Cousins.
