Sunday Afternoon, April 16

Checking out the pretty spring flowers in the garage where we had lunch.

If I remember correctly, Jesse chose this one.

I later learned that this hyacinth was for us.

While we waited for others to arrive, Jere and Kristen wanted an updated family picture.

As they walked back to the house, I said, “Stop. I think this would make a great picture.”

I love it.

The table was set for twelve. Most of our family have Easter plans or don’t live in the area, so Jere and Kristen (who love to prepare meals) invite those who don’t have plans.

We have a large family dinner at our house at the end of May when the weather is warmer – my siblings and their families.

A place setting.

Sparkling grape juice

Lighting candles

Rolls – made by our niece Amy

The ham

Ham, green beans, crockpot  mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes – and cup cakes for dessert.

I also ordered these from Amy.

Around the table – clockwise: Cerwin, Jared, Jesse, Deb, Jana, Josh, Josiah, Roy, Ian, Kristen, and Jere.

Ian demonstrated the instrument he designed with PVC pipe for a school project.

A few more photo shoots.

Before we went home, we learned that this was a gift for us from Jere and Kristen.

 This was a gift from Roy and Deb.

An interesting colored rose

It was a delicious, delightful, colorful Easter afternoon.
