Easter Sunday



she ended up cracking most of those eggs on herself



Every Easter, from what I can remember, the day has lent itself to the occassion. For some unknown reason, the day won't be too hot or too cold. It won't be raining either. It's just perfect to allow families to celebrate in whatever way they wish. For us, it's always been spent at home.


My daughter received various baskets and a piñata. Le fue muy bien. We cracked about 150 cascarones in about thirty minutes. And we said we weren't gonna need that many; at the end we were running around making sure mija had found all of the eggs during her hunt. Some of us ended up with confetti and egg shells in places where they should  never be. Everything is fair in an Easter egg war. But we didn't end up eating carña asada like the rest of Laredo. We ended up having dinner at our favorite eatery...Danny's (I told you we were fanatics).

Of course, Easter already carries a certain significance but to us, this year, it was the first one in a while that all my brothers and I spent it at home. Usually, there was one or two of us missing but this time, we were finally able to celebrate it together. The day ended with a viewing of The Passion of the Christ and some home movies. Both brought some of us to tears...realizations are hard to swallow sometimes.

Well, I hope everyone enjoyed their day. I just feel bad for the bunny. She didn't stand a chance against the wrath of my daughter and her uncles.



whoever said piñatas were just for kids?
