Black Eyed Peas and Easter Eggs!

It was an interesting Easter weekend in the Kinney home. Sean and I were getting food cooked and our house ready for our annual Passover Feast (our way of celebrating Christ's resurrection and the Easter holiday) when we heard a "THUD" followed by a long pause and loud screaming from the basement. Our resident news reporter Will came flying up the stairs to report that Evee was bleeding. Evee falls and bites her tongue quite often, so we just figured her tongue was bleeding again. Sean went downstairs and returned with Evee who had split her cheek open, had a swollen purple eye and was gushing blood everywhere. Panicked, I ran to the bathroom with Sean and began to clean her up. After we got the blood cleared we saw that the cut was small, but deep. Worried that she might require stitches, but too cheap and jaded to rush to the emergency room, we bandaged her and put an ice pack on her eye. 20 minutes later our dinner guests arrived and we ate. After dinner, we realized that Evee was bleeding through her bandage, so in a final attempt to fix her wound without an ER visit, we used a butterfly bandage and closed it up good and tight. Thank goodness it worked! She is pictured below in good spirits and much less bruised two days later!



The Easter bunny visited that night and brought the kiddos fabulous treats.



We let the kids get all sugared up and then took them to church to join the 30 other sugared up kids in Primary. When we returned home, we colored easter eggs...




And we were entertained as Beth ran around the house dressed as the Pillowcase ghost of Easters past



All in all, we enjoyed an injury free Easter Sunday topped off by a traditional Ham Dinner.
