Easter weekend!

Hi everyone!

Happy Easter Weekend!!!!

We had a very fun and enjoyable Easter weekend, hope your family did too! Friday evening we all made it to Stigler to enjoy time together. Mom didn't have radiation today-due to the holiday. Grandma (GiGi) had stayed with mom and cooked a wonderful southern, home-cooked meal for everyone. Thanks GiGi!

Saturday we were excited to wake up to take Claire to Stigler's Easter Egg Hunt at the Vo-Tech. It was Poppy's idea and it was a great one! There were lots of kids there ready to hunt the 4,000 eggs & a butterfly release. During the butterfly release, the kids were supposed to whisper a wish to the butterfly and it would take it to the heavens to be heard....I was holding Claire and we told her to whisper her wish and she said, "make mimi feel better"....tears were in my eyes as her butterfly flew off. We KNOW that our great God will hear it and grant that wish! During the egg hunt-Mimi got to watch Claire from the vehicle. Claire was excited to find 36 eggs! Claire LOVED the Easter Bunny...she kept holding onto her leg! This was the first year she really enjoyed hunting eggs and seeing the Easter bunny.

Thanks to Stigler's community for the fun Easter Egg hunt & coming by the Tahoe to visit mom! Some of her students waved their little arms off at mom, they were SO excited to see her...the feeling was mutual! The boys went to pick up some rocks to use for mom and dad's outdoor fireplace they are building soon for her. They came back (a tad bit burned from the beautiful sunny day), for lunch and then headed off to go fishing! Dad needed some guy time and they all had some laughs. Hillary and I went to the grocery store, cooked and cleaned the rest of the afternoon to prepare for Easter dinner. Uncle Donnie & family took Claire over to a friend's house to see their new baby goats & puppies. She had so much fun being a little farm girl! Thanks Scott & Diana!

Sunday-Easter morning! We had an Easter brunch before church....Of course the Easter bunny had delivered not 1, but 2 baskets for Claire! She got a new bike helmet, books, clothes, Pretty-Pretty Princess game, and lots of candy. She had tons of fun hunting eggs and getting a "prize" egg from GiGi and gramps (goose egg). Nana banana sent $5.00 to put inside plastic eggs which Claire thought was so neat to find money in them. Mom and dad stayed home to warm up the dishes we prepared on Sat. and the "kids" attended church. It was wonderful to be there and visit with everyone at Main Street Baptist! Thank you all for your continued love and support for mom and dad. They miss you too! After church, the entire family came over to mom and dad's and we had a huge Easter lunch. From ham to pies...we were stuffed! After lunch we hid eggs for Claire and watched the Master's championship. It was fun just hanging out and enjoying family time all weekend.

Love and prayers to all! The Forrester Family
