Last weekend, Cade and I went to New Braunfels for some family events while Chance took one of his athletes to the Boys' State Powerlifting meet in Abilene. Chance had a very successful trip - his lifter won the meet!
After a stop in San Marcos for some great shopping, Cade got to embark on his first Easter egg hunt of the season. He was so excited!
And he's off!

On Saturday evening, my Oma hosted a family reunion for the Syamken side of the family. This family used to always get together every holiday, but with everyone's busy schedules, it has been years since we all saw each other. I'm so glad that my Oma decided to host this get-together. It was so very great to see everybody!
The festivities started with some basketball (my cousins have surprisingly impressive skills!)
Cade and Baby Cooper got to meet!
After dinner, we played one of my most favorite games - BUNCO! If you've never played this game, it is a dice game that involves no strategy whatsoever, just luck with rolling sixes and quick reflexes to cover them! I have such great memories of playing this in Oma and Opa's garage at family gatherings and we were all so happy to play together again. The players at the head table get to set the pace of the game and ring the cowbell when they reach 21 points. Guess who was more than happy to ring the bell?
All generations played together!
The next morning we had an early Easter celebration at Great Oma's house. Cade barely tolerated a family picture before looking for eggs!

After the egg hunt, it was time to bring back another fun tradition from my childhood - confetti eggs!
Getting Opa!
Despite all the fun Cade had cracking eggs over everyone else's heads, he was not a fan of having them cracked on his head!
Trapped! Great Oma made sure that Uncle Chris couldn't get away!
This was such a fun way to officially welcome spring!
