Easter 2020

Amid the Coronavirus craziness, Easter still came and we still celebrated. 

It was nice to have some small sense of normalcy. 

 Tiger King was on our minds

 Karsyn keeps things humorous.

I am aware [although I live in denial], that the girls become less and less enthusiastic about Easter egg hunts. They did like the idea of our Glow in the Dark Hunt. Always helps if there is $ involved.

 Easter Bunny still fills baskets.

 Bunny butts were enjoyed for breakfast.

 Dottie got a few little treats

 We made a traditional Easter dinner and spent the day playing games the girls got in their baskets.

 And relaxing

 The girls decided they wouldn't mind doing another hunt for plastic eggs.

No need for Easter dresses this year, so I found these festive shirts instead. Pretty safe bet that Mark would not be interested in one of these so he was left out.

After Spring Break, Bailee had to return to Laramie to finish up her RA duties. Although classes were all online and most of campus was closed, she had to be there for the students in the dorms who couldn't go home yet for various reasons.

 After working through the first week of April, she was able to come home.

 Mark and I made an afternoon of it and went to Laramie to help her move out.

The dorm was eerily quiet. All but a few residents had returned home. 

I think she was feeling a little more melancholy than other years. Next year she will be an RA in the student apartments. So this was not only goodbye to the 9th floor of McIntyre, but to the dorms too.

The end of the school year has been hard for all of us in different ways. I think it was awful for Bailee to not be able to properly say her farewells to her friends, residents and co-workers.

After loading up the cars, she met her friend Makell and they went to visit a friend before heading home. 

Her sisters were super excited to have her back and they spent the rest of the day in her room chatting it up and helping her get her things organized. 

It was another great year for our girl. It blows my mind to think that next fall she will start her Senior year of college. I am amazed to see her continually develop into her own beautiful person.
