     It’s that time of year again.  Pastel colors, jelly beans, Cadbury eggs, warmer weather, and so forth. Kids wake up more excited than ever. They walk around their house finding the treats the Easter bunny left them. They play with all of the gifts they’ve received until their mother tells them it’s time to get ready. The girl always puts on a nice dress and the boy puts on khakis and a sweater. You all file into the car and head to grandma’s house. You crowd around a huge table, tell stories, smile, laugh, and just enjoy the presence of everyone. It starts to get late so you head home and get to bed.
