I spent most of Easter either asleep or at work, but Saturday was full of some solid family time.

Having my niece around gave us an excuse to indulge in some more kid-like activities related to the holiday, such as decorating eggs.  Let me tell you, it’s much more fun when you have motor skillz.

You may not think it from the sight of those eggs, but we’re really pretty serious all the time.

Just kidding.

Of course after you decorate eggs, the next step is to send someone on a hunt.  Granted, we used plastic eggs for this stage, but it fits my narrative to put this part here so just go with it.

Finally, a shout-out to the member of the family who loves having Madelyn around and can’t wait for her little brother, Jebez, to arrive in the summer.

This is Matics, aka Happy Dog, aka David Hasselruff, aka Justin Whimperlake, aka The Genie (you know, since he loves belly rubs, which are like rubbing a lamp like in that movie Aladdin where the Genie pops out and is all like, “Yo Aladdin, I’ll give you three wishes” only it’s in that crazy Robin Williams kind of Genie voice and has all these rules about not wishing for love or other wishes or tacos or something like that and he decides to become a prince to impress that chick with the wimpy tiger but then that other dude with the stick and the bird come along and jack everything up and only then does the chick realize this dude Aladdin is the bomb and they sing that song up in the clouds without FAA clearance and somehow they magically both know this tune well enough to nail the harmony — you know, like that):
