Family Easter Dinner

Easter is truly a feast and Easter 2011 was no different.  We decided to host dinner at our house and all of my side of the family came.  We also broke from traditional and had a mediterranean style menu.  Everyone brought a little something unique and it was DELICOUS.  My favorite though was Tim's leg of lamb on the bbq - YUM.  It was so fun to have everyone over for an egg hunt, good food, and laughter!

Easter weekend with Grandad and Grammy

Ok...falling WAY behind.  I think this is the first time I've posted more than a year behind.  Maybe I just need to take less pictures.  Possible?  I guess not for me.  I suppose I could just skip some moments and events to catch up...but for me those moments document our family and I don't want to miss those times.  So, I'm just going to be gentle with myself and keep going...no matter how behind I get. 
Easter 2011.  A great time with family.  Grammy and Grandad were up visiting and we colored our eggs. 


This weekend I power washed our back deck.  If anyone has been to our home....the back deck is big, really big.  It was a 2 full day project.  I have a new appreciation for Becky and her willingness to do this job before she left for college.  She did a much better job than I did too! 


Grandad and Dad lending some support (and a little humor!)



Happy Easter!
