Chase had a major Easter holiday today. First, he and Daddy went to church on Easter morning. Then Mama and Daddy gave him his Easter baskets, filled with candy, Hot Wheels and lots of other surprises. Next, they all went out in the back yard so Chase could have an Easter egg hunt. Nanaw came over to get Chase in the afternoon and take him back to her house for another Easter egg hunt. He had to find 10 Reese's Easter eggs and 10 colorful eggs filled with jelly beans and chocolate candy. For the first time, Nanaw was smart about the hunt and made a list of where the 20 things were hidden. Chase did really well in finding about 15 of the hidden candy. For the last five, Nanaw had to give him hints. But he eventually found everything. He also got a Roblox card. A little before four p.m., Chase and Nanaw went back to his house for the family Easter dinner there. Cousin Joe had a flat tire on the way from Columbia, Missouri to Columbia, Illinois (LOL), and Uncle Mike went to help him. Everybody else had a delicious dinner at five -- Mama, Daddy, Chase, Nanaw, Aunt Becky, Irina, Nyeal, cousin Lindsey (a special shout-out to cousin Lindsey who says she reads Days of Chase and reports on happenings to her colleague Colin -- sorry if that's not the way it's spelled), cousin Rob, and Claudia. Sometime after six, Uncle Mike, cousin Joe, Julia, Jeremy (who's 10) and Hudson arrived. Chase was so happy to have someone his age or so to play with; Jeremy and Chase played a couple of times on the trampoline and then played yard pong and soccer. Cousin Lindsey graciously let Nanaw test drive her Escape because Nanaw is going to buy a new one soon. Nanaw loved it. Unfortunately, Chase ate too much and played too hard and threw up at the end of the evening.
