Happy Easter! :)

Aren't family traditions fun! Unfortunately there will not be any traditions today. You see my family usually goes to my Aunt Faith's house, she lives in LA, for Easter and we eat lots of yummy food and have fun Easter egg hunting. You're never to old to hunt for Easter eggs! :) After we're done with the hunt my cousins Molly and I (and sometimes my sister Hannah) like to count all of the eggs that we found and see who is the winner of the egg hunt. After we're down counting we like to open our eggs and see what kind of goodies we got. Then we eat lots of candy and get really sick from to much of it. After that my family goes back to our own house.

Once we're home, if we remember, we like to color hard boiled eggs. These colored eggs usually end up sitting in our fridge until they rot. What was the point in coloring the eggs if we don't want to eat our beautiful artwork? Well...it's because it's fun and it's a traditions although, for the past couple years we haven't remembered to color eggs and it makes me sad once I realize it. Hopefully I'll remember to do it this year! Maybe since there are children here we might remember to color eggs this time. We aren't going to my Aunt Faith's house this year, which I don't know why, so it's kind of sad. Oh well. Life will go on.

When the family is all together things tend to get a little silly and old childhood memories start coming back to us all. My oldest sisters, Sarah and Rachel, started to talk about this one memory of theirs which had to do with Rush Limbaugh making fun of Hilary Clinton for using "Family Values" in one of her speeches. Apparently we were all at our old old shop and we were listening to Beach Boys when something really weird happened. It started to record what was going on while still playing the song. By the times someone realized what was going on it had recorded some hilarious things. In the background you could hear Rachel quoting Rush Limbaugh's "Family Values" and you could also here someone getting spanked, which was most likely Hannah she was always getting spanked, and you could also here someone singing in the background. To this day whenever Rachel hears "Family Values" her mind goes start back to this memory of when the cassette tape all the sudden started to record what was going on.

All this to say is that when family gets together it kinda gets crazy.
