Easter with family

Hear they are, all dressed up for Easter! Our 5 grandchildren just after the 6:30 AM Sunrise church service.
What a blessing it is to freely worship our Risen Lord and Savior.

Our oldest grandson with his mother, our youngest daughter. He has grown so tall and looks so nice in his new Easter shirt, tie and pants.

One more picture of the 5 of them, here you can see the church tables joyfully decorated for the Easter breakfast. It was delicious too.


What a large bowl full of hard boiled eggs just waiting to be dyed. It looks like a lot of eggs but after each of us eats a couple, there aren't as many as one would think!

Our oldest granddaughter is being very patient and painting blue dots all over her Easter Egg. The Dye kit was a gift from a dear friend and had many options as brush painting, roller painting, stickers or regular cup dying. We all had a lot of fun!


Our youngest granddaughter trying her hand at the roller painting. She has always liked green and looks like she thought this egg would look its best colored bright green.


Now this was fun, here I am helping our youngest grandson color a egg. He is very into blue and each and every egg he colored was BLUE. VERY BLUE! He didn't think anyone else should use his blue dye!
I wonder if he will still want all blue next year? Time will tell!


This is our youngest daughter helping her oldest Nephew color a egg. They sure are turning out pretty!


All five are hard at work dying those eggs. They are being supervised by my oldest daughter and mother of four, expecting #5. We are all so excited and happy for them.


Even dad got into the picture as he made a special combination dyed egg.
Just look at that big smile, don't tell me that men can't have fun dying Easter Eggs or was that because of a good score for his team on his head phones?

"WOW! LOOK WHAT I GOT IN
MY EASTER BASKET!
It's a yellow peep bunny! It looks cute!"


UM UM! It tastes good and won't last long!

THE EASTER EGG HUNT!

I knew there was a egg around here someplace!



Our youngest grandson hunting for more eggs.

The older children were so good to leave the "EASY" eggs for the younger two children.


You can see he has a few in his basket.




It was a cold windy day but it didn't seem to hurt the Easter egg hunt much.





Hey look, he found yet another egg. Looks like they are mostly blue! I'm sure the first egg he ate was also a blue one.




It was our grandsons 9Th birthday on March 10Th, He received a Thunder stick from us and here he is showing how good he could hit with it. It is used to perfect the hitting skills for baseball or softball. I was amazed at how well he could hit the golf ball size wiffle balls.







Here is mom, our oldest daughter putting the finishing touches on a ballerina shoe birthday cake for our granddaughter. She always dose a very good job at making a special birthday cake for each birthday.

Our six year old granddaughter posing with her cake. She is the hardest person to get a picture of with her eyes open. I bet I have over 20 pictures with her eyes shut and she
tried so hard.
She is still very cute without looking right at the camera. Her birthday was on Maundy Thursday. We did the cake and special day out on Saturday when we could be there to help her celebrate.
It was a lot of fun with pizza and games for all.

She and her sister both take dance class. Here she is posing with her recital outfit. Below she was doing part of her dance routine. The cardboard cutout necklace was from a special birthday card she received from her sponsor, Jamie.



Here is their dog! He looks sad but he really did get a special treat, some of the children gave him their Easter egg yolks since they did not like that part of the hard boiled egg.
WHAT A CUTE DOG!
