.......I hope each of you had a sweet and joy-filled Easter, wherever you spent it and however you celebrated. Our family was scattered like jellybeans, but that didn't stop the smiles all of our faces from being big.
Last night, as I scrolled through our photos from the day, I saw a lot of laughter and a whole lot of love!
Lots of Snow
Grandson....Tyler, Emalee, Emersyn, and Keelan

Our meal was pretty Awesome! Brisket, smoked turkey, baked beans, creamed potatoes (mine are not big fans of pot. salad) corn on the cob, macaroni and cheese (ALWAYS) deviled eggs, warm rolls, chocolate Eclair, and Banana Pudding... Sweet Tea.
We played a cute game of bouncing a ping pong ball into a muffin pan with a colored taped to the bottom. What ever color your ball landed in, you got to pick that Easter Egg. Some where big winners, some NEVER got their ball to land in the pan!!
Even though we were all scattered, we still connected through face-time, phone calls and pictures. I am thankful for the love of my family, and for their unshakable truth in knowing that the stone was rolled away and that this is the reason we celebrate Easter. He is Risen!!
Shug..

Oh how I love the pictues. Almost felt like I was there. You are a absolutely beautiful family...and why not....You are beautiful and it was passed on. We had a lovely day with our oldest daughter and grands and great grands. It was so great to see all your family!! Blessings
ReplyDeleteOh Shug, such a beautiful family and so much fun. I love how the LOVE shines through.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a yummy meal too. Now I am hungry!

I love that you got pics of everyone! Such a good looking, joyful group!
ReplyDeleteYour food sounds so good, the ping pong ball game is a cute one.
Shug, I feel the love ❤️ and happiness 😊 in your lovely photos. What a beautiful family and smiles. Happy Easter to you.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a good gathering with great food with those who could attend!
ReplyDeleteThese images all put a Big Smile on my face ... even tho' I don't know the players, joy is contagious, don't you think? Your brisket and smoked turkey sounds so much better than (our) ham, but sometimes I need to pick my battles (*sigh*). I'm going to remember that muffin game!
ReplyDeleteOh my, what a beautiful family! How wonderful to see all the smiling faces and happy families. You are truly blessed with such a loving family near and far. What a joy and blessing indeed. Thank you for sharing the love with us!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a blessed Easter you had with your family, near and far, Shug! Yes, Facetime is crucial at times when we can't all be physically together, and can keep us close. May you have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful Easter your family had. Maybe not all together physically but together in spirit and awesome that you were able to facetime with the ones who weren't actually with you. Your meal sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteI know your family is such a blessing, both far and near!
ReplyDeleteEven with some of the family not there, you still had quite a gathering! Looks like a fun time for all with some good food. Boy you really did some cooking! I made a banana pudding as well, for just the husband and I. Yum. We just grilled 🍔
ReplyDeleteYou look so pretty in that color!
HE HAS RISEN INDEED.
ReplyDeleteSo glad that you had a GREAT Easter.
Your family is so big and so close. I am so happy for you.
The chocolate cake looked so good.
How is Tom? Been praying.

That cake looks so good! Carson & Emily are such an adorable couple! And the group photo with you in it, I love how it was done, like in a coloring book!
ReplyDeleteThank you for all the photos! Hurray for modern technology making it easy to keep connected. ❤️
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad that you had such a lovely grace and fun filled Easter, my friend. I was by yesterday, but I must have been too early because your post wasn't up yet. I'm just happy that you had a good day.
ReplyDeleteI love that you were able to connect through facetime!
