Yesterday was Easter. We had a very large family get together at my brother David's house. Amanda, JJ, Amara, Krista, Wes, Dominic, Merv, Sue, and myself went to church at South Yukon Church of Christ. It was a little tricky since all roads but one are closed to get there. I only got lost for about 30 min. We all made it though and had a good lesson while we were there. We all went to David's in a caravan after church. Merv's children and grandchildren did not get to come, we missed them. Hope they can come back next year. David's two boys and their children were there. Barbara's sister and her children and grandchildren were also there and then some of Brian and Kenny's extended family were also there. Paul, his wife and youngest child came. He is Barbara and David's foster son. We had tons of food and the kids had a great time, even though they had to stay inside because of the rain. It helps that D&B have a 5,000 square foot house. We each bring something for the kids easter baskets and then David puts money in the eggs that they hunt. The grown children, ages 15-38, play Deal or No Deal with David. The grand prize is $50.00. Brian won again. Everyone gets at least a dollar. JJ and Phobe became great friends. Amara had a wonderful time. Dominic was having a hard day especially when he and JJ were playing and he got a bloody nose. He loved the easter pails and eggs and did not want to give his up. We recycle the buckets and eggs every year.
My three grandkids were dressed alike. JJ and Dominic had matching shirts and Amara had a dress with the same color in it. They all looked so cute. There is a picture here of the three of them. Dominic was being camera shy, but I still got a pretty good picture of them. It was a long day, but I love being with my family. I think everyone had a great time.
