Easter Weekend!

This past weekend was the weekend of Easter. My family drove up to Connecticut to see our extended family. Because my mom and dad were originally from there, our whole family lives there.

We got there on Friday night and went straight to my mom's parents' house. We saw my Aunt Rose, Uncle Ray, and Ray's girlfriend, Jen. We ate a family dinner and stayed there overnight.

Saturday morning, we went to the diner to meet my Aunt Leona and Uncle Dave for breakfast. It was really nice to see them, especially because we really only see them when we're there. From there, we met Uncle Lenny at Starbucks. We stayed there with him for about an hour or so. Seeing him was also really great, even though we see him more often than others. (IN SEPTEMBER, HE'S COMING TO VIRGINIA TO SEE 21 PILOTS WITH US!!!!!!) After Uncle Lenny had left, my Aunt Amy met us there for a nice visit. My family then went to Aunt Kim and Uncle Mark's for our annual Easter celebration for the Metcalfe side of the family. All of the Metcalfes were there (except Cale and Aubrey <3). We had our last annual, giant easter egg hunt in their backyard. (Only the last at that house, because they're moving.) It was very fun, as always! We ate Easter dinner there too. Before we headed back to Wendy's, we drove some boxes to Kim and Mark's new house and we got to see it. It was really nice. At Wendy's, we watched Big Hero 6, hung out together, and we spent the night there.

On Sunday, Aunt Wendy made, my favorite, CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES!! After breakfast, we joined Tyler and Drew in their easter egg hunt. From there, we went back to my grandparents' house. As soon as we got there, we did an inside easter egg hunt. Once the rest of our family, Rose, her husband Tom, and Ray, got there, we did the big easter egg hunt outside, that we do every year. My grandma made Easter dinner. It was AMAZING, which led to me eating far too much. At around dessert time, Jen got there. Then, we all ate dessert. Again, with me eating too much. Everyone, but us, left around 5. My mom's cousin came over, so we got to visit with her a bit as well. At about 7, we went back to Wendy's and we mostly just hung out there for the night. We stayed there overnight, but left at 6 AM to get on the road.

It was a really fun, exciting trip. As always, it was so nice to see everyone and to participate in our traditions. Although some of those traditions are ending, we're only going to be starting more to replace those, I'm sure.

Hope you had a great holiday!
