easter day










according to "morris family tradition" candy is hidden for hunting early in the morning! hampton arrived at our bedside by 7 o'clock, followed by coleman...then austin, who required awakening! the kids enjoyed their easter bucket treats, followed by a hunt in our home! yes, tradition...we chose to begin it, and suppose we must continue it! we typically have candy left for many months to come (but it was fun while it lasted, huh)? we then ventured to church, where (though we were "ahead of time") stood and eventually sat (hallelujah!) at the back of the building for the service. we then went home to prepare for the grand number of 27 at our home for lunch and yet another egg hunt (inside, of course...thanks to the rain)! woo hoo! we all had a fabulous time! gaga gave each great-grandchild a gold coin...wow! gaga (in her 90's) played the piano, as hampton sang every song in her repertoire from the nearby piano bench, that is, after fun with olivia (my cousin lisa's daughter)! the cousins had fun hunting and playing! i am finally sitting after the hostess job...and must say i am happy to be doing just that! (hosting...then sitting)!
