Today is Good Friday, and Sunday is Easter. So this is a big celebration at my house. We start this afternoon by having the kids friends over (about 15 kids 6-11 years old) for an Easter Egg hunt outside. I have a large property, about 3.5 acres total, so we hide a few hundred plastic eggs with candy inside (I find eggs all through the year, and sometimes, the kids find eggs from last year!). I was up late last night putting candy in plastic eggs. My finger tips hurt.

Then this evening, its a big dinner for the adults. Most family will be here, about 15 adults plus the little ones. Serving a spiral cut ham, lamb, and all the fixings. We take time to honor the Lord with prayer, and then dig in. About 8 adults plus their kids will sleep over.

Saturday, we make big breakfast, then after lunch, its time to dye the hard boiled eggs. This year we cut back, only boiled 5 dozen eggs. This is a big event where artistic value counts among the adults. We always try to out do each other with new methods of dying eggs.

Sunday is Easter, and the family and guests will head out to our church for service. Then back home to eat some more.

I wanted to get an oil change and install the front sway bar this weekend, but it might be tight with all the activity. Will see how it goes.

Happy Easter!
