My Family’s Belated Easter Dinner

Our parents would be amazed at the size of their family. On Sunday we totaled fifty-five – and twenty six were missing.

 Sunday, May 22

 

 

Before prayer, we sang happy birthday to our stepmother, Velma, our grandson Jared, and my youngest brother’s grandchildren, Caleb and Molly. Molly didn’t quite understand what was going on.

 

 

Her grandma, Brenda, helped her blow out the candle.

 

 

Our delicious food table.

I was grateful that we could put this outside the garage to make more room inside, but it was too cool for anyone to eat outside.

 

 

Every married couple brought food – creating a delicious meal.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Madelyn is our newest family member.

 

 

 

 

 

 

We set up the kitchen table for the overflow since we could not put any tables in the yard.

After lunch the teenagers hid hundreds of eggs that our daughter Deb brought for the egg hunt.

Josh and Nate

 

 

When they were finished, these three sat on the edge of the porch. I tried to get them to smile, but they decided to be serious.

 

 

Someone did capture a good smile from Jordan sometime later. I am not sure who took this, but it was in my camera.

 

 

The very small ones get a head start. Jenna helping Bella find eggs.

And the older ones are off for the hunt.
