Easter Update 3

Now that we have moved on to the most relaxing day of Easter, the world famous Easter Monday, I have a few minutes with which I can provide a few more details about yesterdays festivities.

As previously mentioned, we started things off with our Easter baskets.



After some breakfast and Mille Bornes and Sorry Revenge, and then a little relaxing, we finally got down to dinner prep. The turkey, in particular was important to deal with a few hours before we expected our guests.

After about 3 to 3.5 hours of solid prep work we were basically ready for people to arrive. This gave us maybe 10 minutes of spare time before people were expected to arrive. Fortunately this was enough time, though not so much time to allow us to engage in some other activity (like playing a game or scratching lottery tickets).

Not too long after most of our guests arrived I broke out our package of Peeps. While most of us were somewhat hesitant to give them a shot at first, eventually a few were consumed and almost everyone had at least part of a Peep. At some point I briefly stepped out of the room only to come back and find that Neil had agreed to eat the remaining 8 Peeps at the same time for $15 (three guys each agreed to contribute $5). Though a completely ridiculous activity to engage in, it really was hilarious to watch. I know that at least two of us were brought to tears.

The rest of the evening was quite enjoyable, and not quite as ridiculous as these three minutes. Aside from the fact that the rest of the evening went well I am not sure that there is really anything else to report.
