As usual we had our Easter family gathering on Saturday.
After the meal the kids went outside and hunted eggs. I missed most of the egg hunting because I was still inside eating my meal which was delicious. We had the usual, ham, broccoli casserole, mac and cheese (new this year), Peggy's famous corn, green beans, seven layer salad, potato salad, deviled eggs, and rolls. I was able to take a few pictures of the egg hunting.
Once Kacie got the hang of it, she loved it.

We took lots of pictures of the little ones but no one ever did manage to get all of them together for a group picture.
Andrew, Bailee and Ean
Kelsie, Kacie and Cayden
Even though all eight of the siblings were here also we didn't manage to get a group picture of them either. Donnie left before the meal and Joni arrived late. It was nice that everyone was able visit though. This was the first time Gary Dee and Colma had come in for Easter. Teresa, Zach and Natalie came also so we had thirty five in all for our gathering.
Bailee taking pictures...hmmm, wonder where she learned this?
Kelsie crashed on the couch and this is what I did after everyone left and I cleaned up.
Andrew loved the sugar cookies and I asked him if he knew what the cookie was and he said, "a cross, Jesus died on the cross." How sweet, he already knew Jesus died on the cross.
Another sweet thing I want to remember is that Andrew came and asked me twice when they were going to hunt eggs. I told him I wasn't in charge of that and added the second time, that I probably wouldn't hide eggs until I had grandchildren. He said, "you have me." How sweet. Having great nieces and nephews around at holidays and family events makes them so much more fun.
I know these Easter posts have been a bit hap hazard but I think that is the way my mind has been working the past couple of days. =P
