It seems like forever when Greg was telling me about his mom's big get together at the ranch for Easter. Now I've had the pleasure of being part of it for many years. It also brings on a entirely new perspective when you have kids.
For a time we were splitting our time between "Easter at the Ranch" and a local fund raising event that took place every Easter weekend (jungle). However since the kids have arrived, we've changed our time allotment and even our financial contribution to the fund raiser. Now we spend our Easter preparing food, games, Easter eggs and getting the ranch ready for 50+ family and friends. It has been great to share this event not only with Greg's family, but my parents have also been able to attend on occasion and this year our great friends and Godfathers to our kids, John and Peter (and John's dad) were able to make the hour and a half trip from Houston for the gathering.
Often people hear of the ranch but never get the experience, so whenever someone close us gets to visit, we are very happy.
Bode isn't quite old enough to enjoy the candy eating, egg hunting, fun filled holiday that sends most of us into a sugar coma, but Tekla sure did. It took over 24 hours for her to come down from her sugar high!
Now onward to our next holiday.....

Looks like everyone had a good time. I love family traditions like this and I'm glad the kids will grow up experiencing them.
What's up for Memorial Day or the Fourth of July? ;)
