What a wonderful day! The weather was perfect and so was the day. Olan woke me at 6:30 (the only non-perfect part) because he could "hear the Easter bunny downstairs!!!" and sure enough, the bunny had come and left so many eggs hidden about that Olan couldn't even count them all. He counted to twenty and then said "I don't know the numbers to count them all". He did however, have the skills to find them. I thought I was being a bit tricky but he easily got them all in about 15 minutes. After breakfast; waffles for me, chocolate eggs for Olan, we got all gussied up and headed to church. The service was so lovely and all the Sunday school kids received a really nice illustrated bible from which Olan has already learned that "John the Baptist was really hairy and ate grasshoppers (locusts)", information that he proudly shared with the rector over cupcakes after the service. Lord.
Coming down off that chocolate/cupcake high, we chilled at home and visited with Aunty Mer and Dave who were just back from the airport. Then we went off to a big Newfoundland style turkey dinner at Olan's girlfriend's house, complete with pease pudding, salt pork AND beef as well as a big turkey, cabbage, turnip, mashed potato, etc., etc., etc. It was so wonderful to be at a big family gathering with cousins and noise and good food and conversation, the next best thing to being with our own and I had been missing that all weekend. Olan fell asleep in the car on the way home mid-sentence telling me what a great time he'd had.
