Easter 2008

Our family had a wonderful and blessed Easter this year. The kids woke up and had a Easter Egg hunt which included candy, cars and one little present each (even though Trevor accidentally saw them the night before!) . I'm going to be so sad when they get to be too big for this tradition. We were so lucky to be able to share the afternoon and dinner with Kevin and Amy and their family and Mom and Dad. We ate good food (ham potatoes and salad), drank good drink and had lots of laughs (as we always do, when kids are involved!) We had our first official KIDS table and at one point all the adults were actually all SITTING down for the meal at once, it was amazing. I have to say after hosting quite a few family gatherings over the past year (which I love doing), I just don't know how Nanny always pulled off those big meals all the time. It is not an easy task having everything done AND at the same time. Luckily, I had helpers. Mom made these AMAZING brownie desserts with peanut butter in the middle (which I hope she posts the recipe on her blog.) and I made a new recipe for scalloped potatoes which included BEER. I wish we could have these gatherings more often (and we especially missed not having Jeff, Irene and the girls there). It was a really fun day. Happy Easter and Happy memories to you and yours:) God Bless~and Enjoy the Pics :)
