Our day started with the kids very excited!! We did a hunt for baskets! It was great to watch. Callum had no idea what he was getting excited about, he was just following along with his sister. I then made chocolate chip pancakes. YUM! The girls in the family love them. Gareth doesn't really eat breakfast, and we found out today that Callum wasn't a fan. I will continue to make them on Easter for me and Alex, I will just have to make something different for Callum next year:0) We then got ready for church and we were actually on time!!! Huge for a Sunday when we add things to do in the morning. Easter service was amazing. I love Easter. It is def. my favorite holiday.
After church we came home to call England. The kids got to talk to nanny and Grandad. During the conversation, it was mentioned that nanny and grandad would be coming soon to stay at our house. Well, for the rest of the day, Callum kept saying, "Nanny and grandad, coming on a plane to our house?" Our response was always, "yes, but not for a few more weeks!" I wish we had a tape recorder today. It was soooo cute. We spent the afternoon at my parents house. WE made lunch. Alex and Callum make the mashed potatoes. Very fun to watch. Mom and I made our own glaze for the ham and I have to admit, I am not a ham person, but it looked pretty good. After a great lunch, it was off to the easter egg hunt. That went much better than I thought. Alex was very kind and left eggs for her brother and it actually took more than 2 minutes. Gareth took the kids to the park even though it was a bit chilly. They were well and truly worn out tonight. Dad did really well today!! I cook Christmas dinner and this past year he wasn't able to stay an hour. (no, not because of my cooking, hehe) Today he was up most of the day other than about a two hour nap. We can't believe how much better he is physically. I pray that it continues. All in all, it was a great day!!! I hope that all of you have had a wonderful Easter too!!!!

Happy Easter! It sounds like you had a wonderful day! I think my daughter would come join you for the chocolate chip pancakes. She has been talking about some though I have never even made them. :) Next year will be even more fun since you WILL have another little one in the house.
