It’s funny the different traditions families have. Susan’s and mine differed quite differently on Easter traditions. My family usually split one bag of chocolate malt ball eggs and that was Easter. No baskets. No hunt. Just a bag of eggs for the 7 of us (mom and dad included). Susan’s on the other hand had a basket for each person with loads of candy. As you can see from the photos below Susan’s family traditions are in full swing at the Garner home.

Theo was the first to find his Easter basket.




It was a fantastic Easter morning.

When nothing else is on TV and I’m just flipping through the channels often the travel channel delivers. One of the shoes that I really like is Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations, and maybe it’s the fact that one of the places he visits the most often is Vietnam. Having 2 children from Vietnam secures the country deep in my heart. The other night while watching Susan and I just smiled and said how much we can’t wait to go back with our kids when they’re a bit older. I miss the food, smells, sites, the noise. It’s a beautiful country.
