35 years.....

Happy Anniversary to my wonderful husband

35 years ago today we said our "I do's" in the little

church that I grew up in.

 

I loved him so much that day but now, 35 years later, I love

him even more!

 

no big celebrations this year......we are heading down to the

beach for a few days so that will be fun to get away just

the 2 of us and relax at our favorite place, OBX!

A little more of Easter .....

Before dinner we had a small Easter Egg hunt for the kids

Since they were already going to have plenty of candy, I put

money in their eggs. I had 21 eggs for each grandchild and

wrote their names on their eggs so it would be fair and everyone

would get the same amount.

 

We had Gabe and Maddox hunt eggs first so that Declan

would see how it's done.......well, that only lasted a short time.

He was so ready to get out there and hunt eggs!!

I think they all enjoyed it

 

Maddox had fun hunting for eggs with his name on them

 



 

there's Gabe trying to find eggs......we had the hunt in the front yard

as to avoid the dog poop that I have failed to clean up

 

Declan really enjoyed looking for the eggs and he was good at it!

 

Grandpa watching the action......

Easter part 2 ......

I cooked Easter dinner for the kids and grandkids and

instead of the usual ham, I decided to have turkey this year

roasted potatoes, lima beans, string bean salad,

tomato/cucumber salad, and rolls.

Jacquelyn made an angel food / ice cream cake for dessert

that was wonderful (I did eat some of that)

 

But we also had lots and lots of candy!

Instead of making Easter baskets for the kids

I decided to use Easter candy as the table centerpiece

I love how it turned out

 

 

after dinner I gave all of the kids and grandkids bags so they

could load up on some candy! Please, I eat no sugar so I don't

need the temptation around me! haha.....

Easter ...

We always get together with my side of the family for

Easter but this year it wasn't going to happen. We all got together

on Saturday before Easter to do a winter clean up of our parents

yard and then for Sunday, everyone had different plans with others

so we skipped it this year.

 

We came back from yard clean up and lunch at Mexico and

I was worn out! But still wanted to dye some Easter eggs. Not sure

why I enjoy it so much now that my kids are grown but I do.

And all that I use is the dye kits you buy......but there's just something

about those colorful eggs......and then getting to eat Easter eggs

all week for breakfast!!

 

Jacquelyn, Bucky and Declan were at the yard clean up so they

came back by the house afterward and dyed eggs with me.

 

 

While the eggs were cooling, Declan

sat in his highchair and made an Easter picture with

a bunch of stickers I had

 

looks at the pretty colors.......

 

Jacquelyn had to really hold on to the egg because

he wanted to throw it in to the glass......like he throws baseballs!

Declan had so much fun playing with the plastic eggs

 



 

having crazy fun with his daddy!
