Easter in Tremont

Beverly enjoyed her first Easter in the U.S today! The kids started the fun with their Easter baskets, loaded with lots of goodies.

Then Grandma & Grandpa Scott arrived to join us for Easter Dinner. We had a full table, as you can see ... here is the whole family, minus mom the photographer, as we sat down to eat!

We chose to do smoked turkey over the traditional ham dinner, just a personal favorite. Even though we had turkey for Thanksgiving, we had a few different side dishes today like salad and roasted vegetables. But probably most families in the U.S. had ham today for dinner!

Beverly really liked Grandma's black cherry jello with pineapple and black cherries ... and did not like the green onions! Then she capped off her meal with some of Grandma's famous Special K bars, so all was good!

Then it was outdoors to hunt in the yard for plastic eggs that were filled with candy. It was lots of fun, and the kids all had a great time! So I think Beverly's first Easter experience was one that she really enjoyed!

This afternoon we were looking at the calendar and realized it's only about eight weeks until her scheduled flight back to China. So hard to believe how fast the school year has gone, and that her time here is winding down. But we are excited to know that she will be back in Illinois to attend boarding school in the fall!
