I'm in the Easter mood! :D

The young Oken family had just pulled into my driveway. I saw Oliver jump out of the small car, containing three people and a small baby.

"Mommy! Mommy! Owwie and Owen is here!" the little me exclaimed. My mother smiled at me, with my baby brother in her hands.

The door bell rang, and I excitedly opened it.

"Ollie!" I exclaimed, bringing my arms around him. He returned the hug, and shoved a huge basket in front of me.

"For me?" I asked, puzzled. Oliver shook his head. My mother came over and lifted the basket.

"Lillian, what do you say?"

"Thank you Mwister and Mwisis Oken," I said, fluttering my eyelids. They chuckled at my cuteness.

"Aw, Heather, she is such an angel. Unlike Oliver." Oliver pouted and laughed a little. I gasped, because I forgot something. I ran upstairs into my room, and snatched the basket.

I ran down the stairs, having shimmering colored grass fly over the staircase. I presented him his basket. He gasped, and admired everything.

"Wow, Wiwwy! Thanks!"

"What do you say to Mr. And Mrs. Truscott, Ollie?" Mrs. Oken asked. He smiled.

"Thank you, berry much." He hugged both of my parents. The patted his head in admiration, and let him go.

We dashed into my living room, to play with the neat things we had in our Easter baskets.

"Wow! Bubbles!" I exclaimed, opening the lid, and removing the wand. I blew some bubbles.

Oliver gazed at nothing but the large, delicious, chocolate Easter Bunny. He looked like he could rip open the packaging with his teeth, and eat the poor Bunny in one bite.

"Mommy. Please?" he asked, begging, puppy dog eyes and all. Nancy Oken rolled her eyes.

"Fine, but Oliver– please, do not eat the whole Bunny. Lilly's family is coming over, and Mrs. Truscott is making an amazing meal. Be hungry!"

"Oh, Lilly, when Aunt Jane and Uncle Jordan come over with Hayley and Emily, you guys can go Egg Hunting!"

Mom pulled out a rack in the oven, pressed a few buttons, and pushed the rack back in with a large pan.

Oliver and my eyes opened wide; we loved the Easter Egg Hunt. My cousins, Hayley, Emily, Oliver, and I would always have a race on who got the most eggs.

I was so gonna win.

-HM-

"Lillian, I bet I can get more eggs than you!" my older cousin, Hayley exclaimed. He has beach blonde hair like mine, and looked a little like me. I made a face at him.

"We'll see about that!" I exclaimed.

"Okay, ready, set, go!" our parents exclaimed. Dozens and dozens of eggs hidden around my backyard and the porch were just dying to be found.

Pink, blue, yellow, green, and lavender– all in my backyard. I had tossed about five in my pail as my parents excitedly watched.

Oliver had about fifteen eggs stored in his bucket of colorful eggs, jiggling with change and candy inside them.

Emily had ten in her bucket, and looked frantic since she wanted to win. I was getting mad because Hayley had about twenty five, and there was no way that I was going to bet him– maybe there was, but-

"Come on, kids!" my Daddy exclaimed, "There's only 'bout twelve more eggs!"

The race was on. Oliver had twenty in his pail. Hayley had thirty now, and Emily with fifteen. I only had thirteen of them, and I was no where near.

Oliver scooped another five in his basket, and gently placed them in. I found a blue egg, and violently tossed it in, on the search for more.

All the eggs were discovered, and we headed on inside my living room's table. We dumped our eggs onto the table, excitedly.

"Hey, Lils, how many did you get?" Hayley asked. I turned to him, afraid to count. (Also I only had the ability to count to ten at the moment– give me a break, I was four!)

Hayley and his seven year old body looked at me. I glanced back at my egg pile, and noticed something.

There were more eggs than there were before.

"Um, I doesn't know," I said, confused. He walked over.

"One… eleven… twenty… thirty-five?!" he asked, astonished. I placed my hands on my hips, smiling with accomplishment.

"Heehee. I won!" I exclaimed.

"Who's hungry?!" my mother called from the kitchen. Of course, Oliver being a doughnut, raced to the kitchen, and sat in his place next to me.

We enjoyed our dinner very much, filled with such good food. Oliver was still stuffing his mouth with so much food. His face was dirty.

Oliver took one last gulp of water, and wiped his face with the folded napkin. He tied his hands together and smiled.

"Thank you," we all said, being excused. We dove right into the play room.

"Ollie… thanks," I said. He looked at me.

"What for?"

"For giving me dem eggs. It meant a lot to me that you gave them to me so I could beats Hayley."

"No problem, Lils." He hugged me. My Mom took a picture of us, frozen like that.

A family picture was taken.

Soon after, we all started to play again, but then my family had to leave. I said goodbye to my aunt, uncle, and Hayley and Emily. As we said goodbye to the Okens, Oliver gave me a smile before he left.

Best Easter ever for me.

Heehee. This is so much fun to write about Easter! (:
