Easter has come and gone

Easter has come and gone, but I'm just now getting the time to share how the Busbee family celebrated. It was a glorious, sunny day - the first warm Easter we've had in a long time. I feel like Easter typically brings with it a surprise frost.  But not this year!

We celebrated in Morganton at Mimi's house and attended church with her in the morning, which was followed by an Easter egg hunt in the cemetery.  The church provided Easter baskets for all the kids and even treated us all to a visit from the Easter bunny.

Caleb caught on quickly to the concept of hunting for Easter eggs. And mostly he just followed his cousin Madeline around. She clearly knew how this game was played. I believe she even ended up with two baskets.

 

 Then came the Easter bunny, to whom all the children flocked.  Well, all except Caleb.

 

He waved from afar. There was both a desire to meet the Easter bunny and an obvious fear.

 

 

 

 

  

Then we drove up the mountain to Asheville to feast on a late brunch at the Grove Park Inn, our traditional Easter haunt. The buffet is endless and includes a dessert buffet that forced me to eat chocolate, which I had given up earlier that day.

 

 

 

 

 

And then we relaxed on the 4-hour drive home to Durham.  Caleb stretched out his legs as if to say, it was a good, good day.
