Easter-time

I do know something... 

We have the most precious grandchildren in the world!

 Henry and Anabelle hunting eggs near their church.

Rowan, Katie and Evie in their Easter outfits. Our four local grands hopped down the bunny trail straight to Grampa and Gramma's house today!

Sunday Surprises!

 I went a little overboard with the treats for the kids and grandkids this year. The big basket belongs to Hayden, Cameron, Krystle, Rylan, Courtney and Charlie... they have to share :0) The 4 grands each had a basket waiting for them here too.

A sight to behold

 

I accomplished one thing during Spring Break. I got to the bottom of the piles of papers and other stuff on my buffet. Just in time to put some lovely flowers on it in time for Easter Dinner.

Neighborhood color tour

Harlan and I took a Saturday afternoon stroll around our little corner of NE Portland. Everywhere we looked there were flowers, flowering trees, new leaves and neighbors doing yard work. It almost made us feel guilty that we weren't at our place doing yard work. Almost, but not quite =) We enjoyed our time together that ended with coffee at Starbucks.

I loved the bright colors that Krystle and Joylynn chose to wear for Easter. They look like they'd fit right in with those colorful eggs in the kids' baskets. I even wore a new top, sweater and pants to church today. It was nice to have Joylynn and the kids here for dinner. Jess got a plate of food made up  for him for when he got home from work, but I'd have preferred for him to be here too. 

It's always fun to cook for a crowd. 

It's time for back-to-school

We could not have ordered better end of Spring Break weather!

What a beautiful weekend. I just may have to break out some shorts for the kids to wear to school tomorrow. Now if we can only get them to sleep tonight with the visions of Easter candy in their heads and the effects of it in their bodies :P
