Celebrations and Cousins!

How wonderful to spend our thoughts on the promises and blessings of Easter with some of our Family... and to celebrate the Baptism of Hailey K all on the same weekend!

We played in the dirt and we laughed and ate and watched movies and had concerts and ate and had Birthday cake and an Easter Egg hunt (a bit earlier than scheduled in fact! i.e. We had some excellent finders before the fact! So cute!)

























































Great morsels from the kitchen. Bruce made us a delicious Chinese meal and later Strawberry shortcakes! Elisa made us a chicken crossants meal! Oh my...we ate well. Thanks Bruce and Elisa!
Remembering, laughing!






Beautiful Music!











































































Aunt Ashley is a FAVORITE around this crew!!!



What a Very special day for all of us!

Sliding, running, giggling, hiding, whispering, dreaming, laughing, telling and reading stories.... (bribing, trying)
very little sleeping...and hoping that it can all happen again really soon!

JEALOUS!!! What a fun weekend. Can I come next time? I can imagine how your other grandkids feel who live far away. I don't think I've ever seen such cute Easter dresses. I especially liked Elisa's girls matching ones....adorable! I'm glad so many of your grandchildren live close enough to enjoy their grandparents as much as they do.....lucky kids!

What a fun time and such fun pictures! You guys definitely know how to have a good time! Oh, I read a complaint free world. I forgot to mention it! I learned a lot and discovered that I didn't realize how much I actually complain. Amazing! :( And I always justified it too. So here goes!
