Family Easter Dinner

 

 

The house and tables were ready for up to fifty-eight guests by the time we left for Sunday School this morning. 

 

 

 

Ham was the meat of choice this year.

 

Our grandson Jared loves his Aunt Debi (our youngest daughter) – and wouldn’t leave her side for the first hour. 

She provided the eggs (plastic), candy, and gifts for the annual egg hunt – which had to be inside this year.

 

Table 1 – Kitchen Table

Left to right:  Kurt, Dani, Laura, David, Jared, Andi, Jessie, and Rob.  Laura and Andi brought some kid-friendly desserts – finger jello and rice krispie candy.

 

Table 2

Left to right:  Jenna, David and Zachary (hidden) Jared, Debi, Jana, Diana, Jeff, Chris, and Gloria.  Chris provided cupcakes & a delicious dessert.

 

Table 3

Left to right:  Uriah, Jessica, Cayden, David, Brenda (my brother Steve left the table to answer the phone), Tristan, Josh, and Nathan.  The empty seats were later occupied by my oldest brother, Dale, and his wife Dot.  They brought a fresh fruit salad.  Cerwn was sitting across the table from Uriah.  Brenda brought a sweet/sour green bean dish. 

 

Table 4

Left to right:  Clair (middle brother), Anne, our stepmother Velma, Jordan, Kevin, Amy, Kristen and Ian (partially hidden), Jere.  Clair brought baked corn.  Mother brought crackers and cheese.  Kristen brought cupcakes.

 

Table 5

Left to right:  Nancy (my sister), Marlin, Chelsey, Jaime (hidden), Larry, Ashlea, Karen, Travis (hidden), Reagan, Melissa, and Jason.  Nancy provided half of the ham and homemade dinner rolls.  Karen and Melissa brought pickles and olives.

 

It was a dreary, rainy day.  The white van (Dave & Laura’s) even got stuck in the field when Dave got off the edge of Clair’s driveway.  In this picture a few of the guys were trying to get it out.  Pushing was not successful, so Jason pulled it out with his pickup truck.

I’m weary tonight, but a tired body is worth every minute of having so many family members under one roof.
