I once read an article "Why first borns want to rule the world and last borns want to change it". This was when my children were very young and I did not understand it completely until last night.
As the children get older and older they want to do less and less of the old traditions. Not all, just things like carving pumpkins and coloring easter eggs. That is all but Grace, who of course is only 9 and still loves to do all those things. She is having a very different "Family" experience than Jackie. With that said ...... She knew no one was very excited to color eggs. So she texted the one person who she KNEW would come through for her and of course that is LAUREN. (who loves all things that have to do with family traditions, family time or family anything.) They made a plan to skype while we were coloring easter eggs. So when the time came for family night and coloring the easter eggs out came the computer and before you even knew it was happening there was Lauren and David right in our kitchen. I love technology! Who said technology was tearing the family apart. Not ours! We could have been a commercial for the church....... Family, isn't it about time.

That is so PERFECT. I love it. This year was the first year that Thomas pooh-poohed the eggs. And it was Katie's first year doing it by herself. Crazy how there are two different views of family.
Technology is awesome. We could skype with my hubby when he was on the other side of the world. He could see what was happening right now.
I love that Lauren is the one that Grace would turn to when it was time to color eggs.
I feel like we might need to get a special subscription to skype so that next year we can be in on this too! My kids will love doing easter eggs next year!:D
