Easter Weekend

We had such a delightful weekend over Easter.  Our son, his wife and two little ones were here to share it with us which always makes it extra special.  I really miss not having my own little ones around  for Easter baskets or Christmas stockings so it is extra special when we have the grandchildren to fill that spot.

"Oh no, Mom, she's leaning on me!!!"

We were all up early for church followed by a wonderful brunch for the extended family at our #3 son's home.  The weather was a little cooler than normal but perfect for the party.  All in all, there were somewhere around 100 family members in attendance and all had a fabulous time. 

18 of the 21 grandchildren - one was at college, one home sick and the last one was too busy playing.

Inflatables set up in an area of the yard.

Enjoyment by all ages!

5 years old and above for their egg hunt.

I had a bit of fun sewing time with the granddaughters this past week as well.  Two of the girls came over to sew their Easter dresses and jackets.

They loved their work.

Yesterday another granddaughter came over and sewed her outfit for her school report on Sacagawea.  She did the entire outfit by herself and she did an incredible job on it.  What do you think?  Don't you love the jeans underneath????
