Easter Saturday!

It used to drive me nuts that Utahans do all their egg hunts on Saturday. I grew up doing most of the egg hunting at home, but if we did go to an Easter event, it was always on Sunday. But Utahans and Mormons do things differently, and usually kick against the pricks for awhile before I see the good sense of it all. I hate to admit when the Utahans are right, but it happens.

So here we go, it just makes sense. If we try to do Easter stuff on Sunday morning, we will have about 5 minutes before we have to get ready and go to Church (when Church is at 9 a.m.). Plus, Tim is the choir director and needs to do other stuff to prepare for church in the morning. So we could wait to find baskets and hunt for eggs until after church, but for the next 7 years or so we will have somebody napping at that time. So that pushes all the Easter fun until about 3 p.m. on Sunday afternoon, which does not make any sense.

Then our good friends invited us to an egg hunt at their house on Saturday morning, and suddenly, it all clicked and I had every desire in the world to celebrate Easter on Saturday from now on.

We had a great day which started with too much candy and ended much later with quite a bit of throw up on my carpeted stairs. Darn it! But we had a nice time.
