Easter Preparations



In preparation for Easter, there was a fair amount of activity in the Woodward house.

Rania slaved over the hot stove, and in a trend that will surely only continue, she borrowed her older sister's apron. Thanks to Rania's culinary skills, we're quite confident that our Easter dinner will be magnificent.

We also decorated eggs -- and thanks to the grandparents, white eggs were discovered in Malaysia. All eggs we've found previously have been brown -- which we found also works okay, though the colors are not quite as bright. The grandparents even hard boiled the eggs in order to make it even easier!



Baths were taken and hair was washed for three kiddies. Some bath fun was part of the ritual.

And then the final touches were put on the eggs. The kids had great fun coloring the eggs, and after they had dried, they got to put some stickers on the eggs before bedtime. They've scouted out some great places to hide eggs -- as each of them will get to hide an egg for the adults in a turn of Easter Egg fun.

And, once the kids were in bed, the Easter baskets were set out on the table in preparation for Eastern morning, in time to celebrate Christ's resurrection.

It would appear that grandparents got a bit more credit than they deserved in this posting.

Also, in old age it's sure tough to decipher that line, "Baths were taken ..." (Isn't there a "tech person" around who can improve the layout?!!!)

yes, i agree, i had to read that line 3 times to decipher what it said. i reckon a TECH person could improve that. and were you going to color raw eggs if the grandparents did not hard boil them? if so, then the grandparents deserve more credit that was given to them. HE IS RISEN.
