easter 2018

This year the kids had "spring break" right around Easter, really just Good Friday and Easter Monday, but it didn't line up with OVU's break so we planned to stay in WV. We wanted to go to NJ, but Copper hates the car still, and Kathy and Weston were so great to come to us. The kids also had missed so much school from the teacher work stoppage I really thought they might take away those days, but they didn't.

The weekend before, though, we particiapted in the egg hunt at OVU, and then went to the Mid-Ohio Valley Easter parade in downtown Parkersburg.

We went to Grand Central's egg hunt Saturday morning, then had Elle's party Saturday night. Then we decided to get donuts, church at Grand Central on Sunday morning, then our house the rest of the day. We at Mississippi pot roast because Kathy and weston got in town later than we anticipated and missed eating that before. We also had Pioneer Woman mashed potatoes, green beans, and rolls. And we had pie, but not from scratch this year. A birthday, and easter all in the same weekend was really too much.











The Easter bunny visited everyone, and the kids loved hiding eggs. We also played Elle's new board game, "Beat the Parents," a kids versus adults game about who knows Disney trivia better. Think the kids won, but can't remember.

We even took a walk because the weather was nice, but everyone was pretty tired by bedtime. It was a good day! One thing we can say is that WV is serious about holidays. They go all out for everything!
