Easter

Coloring Easter eggs with the Ryan family has become not only a tradition but, quite the ordeal! I like to think we consider ourselves professionals. We take the task very seriously…as you can tell by our faces. Lots of deep concentration, faces close to the eggs to pay attention to detail and many art supplies are used: various colored dyes, Sharpie markers, stickers, plastic wraps and more. Another year and another fun time spent with our very close friends.


This year we went to the Lyon’s Easter Egg Hunt at Wortman Park. We have not been for quite a few years due to CJ as a 2 and 3-year old hating the crowds and every part of hunting for eggs in a roped off area with close to 200 other kids , parents and their extended families. It is very crowded and busy morning. We thought Zac would like it. He digs that sort of scene…busy and lots going on. We were wrong. Up to 3 seconds before the hunt began he was great. As soon as it started he began to cry and refused to go look for eggs. Carlos entered into the “arena” and helped him out…just like he did years ago with CJ. Guess we can cross that off our list and just keep the egg hunts to Mimi’s house.

Easter morning starts off with the egg hunt at Mimi’s house (rain or shine, drizzle or heavy showers) it does not matter. Auntie Anna is the official “Egg Hider” and this year she hid over 80 eggs! The kids had a blast finding eggs up high, down low and everywhere in between in Mimi’s Magical Garden.
