Easter 2016 ....

We celebrated Easter at our house this year

was hoping for a big Easter egg hunt outside with the kids

but we had so much rain that the yard was

just a muddy mess

so we decided to just do it inside!!

First holiday celebration with both of our parents 

not here......so that was sad

But thankful that we have each other

such a big family here

there are 30 of us!

So that makes for some fun family gatherings

We were missing my niece Abby who is still working

out of state and missing another niece Alison, who is

away at college.

Here's a big collection of pictures...

we had so many eggs filled with candy and it would

have been plenty for outside but inside, you just start running

out of place to hide them....so turned out to be

pretty funny all of the places we were coming up with!

Johnny and Lorraine

Lynne and Tyler

Lynne, Declan, Vickie and Jacquelyn

Jacquelyn is always my sous chef! She always makes

sure everything is just right for me :)

I did the ham, bread, sweet tea and an orzo salad

and then everyone else brought a dish

and everything was so yummy!!
