Getting ready for a family dinner.... .JPG)
I had not used my china in years. .JPG)
Beloved family....
My parents. At dinner I noticed my Father's hands. They are so familiar to me, but I saw them for the first time today. I have his fingers. I never knew that, but they are identical to mine..JPG)
Sweetheart...I love that guy!! 
My TJ and me...
My TJ and me...TJ is eating pie and loving the whipped cream!!! 
Charlotte, waiting for her pie...
Zach after he had his pie.... .JPG)
AND after he lost a pie war with me!!! I have no idea what he is doing with the funnel.
My cousin, Lanny (he likes to announce he is younger than me!) .JPG)
My friend Suzy-Q. We have been friends for 29 years. I fixed her up 2 years ago with my cousin and they have been together ever since. They have actually met at other functions, like my son's wedding but they do not remember meeting each other. Sue always spent Thanksgiving and Easter with us, but my cousin never did...until he started seeing Sue..JPG)
I missed pics of Bud and Rachel and also Kyle. Kyle was downstairs with his buddy who also joined us for Easter dinner. I have no idea how I missed getting a picture of Bud and Rachel. Rachel made a wonderful Broccoli Casserole. There was also Ham, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn, dinner rolls, spinach dip and hawaiian bread (the rabbit bread was a no-go), fruit salad, macaroni and cheese, baked beans, cottage cheese, a veggie tray (made by Sue) and also the pies my mom brought...coconut cream and chocolate cream.

I cuddled with TJ and a book. (That diet starts back full force TOMORROW!!!!)
The dishwasher is full and running, the china and crystal are all hand washed and air drying, along with the pots and pans. I will put it all away in the morning. This girl is wiped out!!!
I love the Easter holiday. Not just for what it represents to me (I say "TO ME" for those who feel it is a pagan holiday) which is the resurrection of my Lord, but because it was through the Holiday of Easter, that I accepted the gift this day represents. Easter, 1980, I found my Jesus. I pray you had a wonderful family-filled day too!

Hay Lady, Wow that last video was one to give great pause. I loved the Pardon singing Francisco I have never heard anyone else sing his songs. He gave us permission to use his song in the "life restored" blog.
Looks like you had a great time.
