Saturday evening we watched a couple of the smaller grandchildren while their family attended the Easter Vigil services at church. We managed to get a bit of egg dying in while they were here.
Easter was glorious with temperatures in the 80s and plentiful sunshine. We all celebrated with a wonderful party at our son and DIL's home. There were about 100 of us there, but you would never guess it with everyone spread throughtout the yard. There were the Jolly Jumps, volleyball, races and lots of food.

| I believe those suits belong to another game!!! |

| Oh...this is where they belong! |

| Cousin snuggles. |

| "I don't like that BIG bunny!!" |

| The dog managed to find a place to escape from the people. |
Even the Easter Bunny made an appearance for the egg hunt. That caused quite the excitment!
Yesterday our #4 son and his wife presented us with our newest granddaughter - the best Easter egg of all! Lots of fun baby snuggles ahead for all of us. One can never tire of those.
So....this week will be a quiet one on the computer as we are keeping their other two little ones until Mommy is home from the hospital. I will check back when time permits.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the new addition to the family, she is a cutie. Interesting that you are also having colder weather. We had an amazing March and now April is your typical cold, windy and rainy month so far. I knew the weather we had in March was just too good to last. Enjoy the rest of your week looking after the little munchkins.
ReplyDeleteHappy Blessings all the way around! Your family is growing wonderfully. Hugs dear friend.

Your Easter celebration must have been magnificent. How wonderful to have such a large family (I'm one of 8) & to have all that room to gather them together.
This is my first visit to your blog, so I'm going to get another cuppa tea & poke around a bit. Lots of nice sewing projects, I see!
fondly,
Rett
