Happy Easter!

While we didn't get to share Easter with my dad (but we did get to spend time with him on Friday), we did get to spend time with Glen's wonderful family and my mom.

We took a 'family' photo because in addition to Dad not being with us, Glen's brother wasn't able to make it into town either.

So, this was our family photo - I LOVE how this turned out and the angle (and love self timers too!)

And then we had a dinner guest that was trying to get his little paws on Rick's portion of my family famous 'basa & kraut'.

He sure looks like he's lickin' his chops, doesn't he?!  LOL!

We hope you all had a wonderful Easter spending time with your family and friends.

A Monday Grin For Ya!

Happy Monday after Easter! Not sure about you, but I think we sure could have used an extra day this weekend! WHEW! We had such a great time with our family yesterday. Easter dinner as always was fabulous. God Bless Glen's mom for fixin' us a great 'tovers plate. So, guess what we're having tonight for dinner - no muss no fuss. WOO HOO!

I have to say, we had a delightful time watching Claire, Evan, Ava and little Johnny looking for their Easter eggs. Johnny who will be 2 on the 18th, was so excited, namely about the plastic eggs and plastic carrots Glen's mom had hung on the tree in the front yard. It was a lovely Easter. We hope you had a lovely Easter with your family and friends.

So, the grin for you today - I'm sure we've mentioned our 'kids' LOVE Ruffles Potato Chips. So, tonight, Glen was going to get a little crunchy with they chipies (Colin loves to share Ruffles with Uncle Glen too). Anyway, here are our two beggers.

They love their Ruffles! We hope you had a nice Easter and a relatively chaos free day today!

The Easter Eggs have been colored.....

and are Works of Art, wouldn't you agree? (well, except for the one ugly one, but then there's gt to be an ugly one in every bunch, right?)

Tomorrow, we celebrate the Blessings our Savior has given us and the sacrifices he made. We will celebrate our blessings today with our families and friends. Glen's mom loves to do Easter Dinner and we always look forward to it (she makes the best Easter meal - yummy kielbasa and gunski's as we call them aka stuffed cabbage!!). My folks will also join us at Glen's mom & dad's along with his 2 cousins and their children, his aunt & uncle and Glen's bro Rick. There's just something about a holiday that always makes me feel blessed.
Do you remember as a kid getting up on Easter Sunday and hunting those wonderfully colored Works of Art? When I was growing up, we always hunted the REAL eggs. And because we lived in Michigan, it was always too cold to do the Easter Egg hunt outside (and usually snowy), so the eggs were hidden in the house. Usually in the living room. And, no matter how hard we looked and what clever placed we looked in, there was ALWAYS that 1 egg that no one could find - including the dogs. Well, that is until it started to smell a week or so later. We always laughed when we found the 'lone' egg and my dad always used to say, "So THAT'S where that egg was hidden". He was the Easter Bunny's helper at our house.
Wishing you Easter Blessings!
