Queen Adelyn

Yesterday, I get a phone call from my aunt asking about getting the kids together to dye Easter eggs. It made me smile because that was how we always did things when I was growing up. We would pile as many cousins as we could around a table outside at my grandmothers and we would dye eggs together.

 

First off, I think that it is awesome that we are continuing the tradition. My cousins and I were always close and I love that the next generation is growing up together like we did. Secondly, the call made me think of all the things we used to do as kids.

 

I could tell dozens of stories about the crazy things that we came up with when we were growing up; we were definitely an interesting bunch. The thing is that, as the oldest, I always was the one in charge. I was the queen of our little band. I was the one who bossed the younger ones around and taught them how to play by my rules.

 

Some days, I wish I could go back to that. I wish that I could sit back on my throne and order the peons around. Maybe the Easter Bunny can hook me up...
