A time to gather eggs together

On Easter, after I slept through church, we went to fabulous Alpharetta to hang out with the Amazing Andersons, who were able to lead a worship service and host us on the same day -- yes, the Andersons have mighty powers, no doubt developed in their epic adventures with their own children.
