Happy Easter, the bunny was at our house today.

I'm sure that Easter is as big a deal at your house as it is in ours. Naturally this tradition started years ago when the kids were little. Spend the morning making hard boiled eggs, dye them, and then hide them around the house, with prizes for who found the most and so on.

Well now that the kids are adults they still want to keep the Easter fun, but take it to the next level. So today after Dan and I went kiting, and we jumped into dry clothes we found the whole group in the kitchen getting ready to toast to the Easter bunny. "Here's to the Easter Bunny!!!!!"

Little did I realize that this year the "helpers" were having martini's as their rewards for a job well done. That's very cool!!!!From L-R, Dan, Brian, Robin, Lena, Sara and Ruth. They had decorated the hard boiled eggs and were ready to party.

The next step was to get to the table and have our traditional egg fights. In the center are the "weapons." Each person selects his fighting egg and then jousts with their neighbor.

Sara and Brian were first. Sorry to say Sara lost.

I know it may seem a little unfair, but the next round was Brian against the pro, Ruby. She lost too.

Now Brian is going against "The Big Cheater" and guess what? Brian was three for three.

Yes, Brian found his golden egg. Now if he could only take it to B of A and cash it in for real gold.

After all that excitement it was time to eat. Ruth, Sara, and all the others prepared a lot of healthy food; Cauliflower, asparagus, ham, Polish sausage, horseradish and lots of hard boiled eggs.

With impeccable timing our neighbors Liam and Lori (shown with Ruth), brought us a huge martini glass filled with a selection of wonderful candy. After that the kids retired to the game room to play
Pictionary and I watched UCLA beat Texas A&M 53 to 49. Go Bruins. Stanford also won a close game against Marquette, 82 to 81.

The kitchen is impeccable thanks to Sara and Brian. So in the morning Ruth and I can wake up to a clean kitchen. That was above and beyond the call of duty, THANK YOU Sara and Brian. Now all it has to to is blow tomorrow and it will be the perfect weekend. I might even be able to drag Ruth down to the beach, as long as I bring her USC chair and a martini. What flavor honey??????

See you on the beach.
