Easter Blessings











This has been a fun and busy week. It was Jim birthday and being a "Good" mother in Law I sent him a money puzzle.. He got it in time but was able to get the $ out pretty quick..oh man I was hoping like at least a couple of days. I had fun just thinking about it..Happy Brithday Jim...
It was Holy week and a church service at 6 different churchs...I only made it to 3. The weather was bad and had 16 tornado in and around Dallas area..Praise God that no one was hurt too bad and no died.
I made up 10 Easter baskets, 1 for Brooke next door, 3 for my AL boys and 6 for Danny brew...and filled 10 dz plastic eggs. Got a very excited call from little Brian, Lucas, and Jacob saying Thank You for their basket
On Sat. afternoon Amber brought the kids over and we colored eggs and then they had a great time playing out in the yard for couple of hours...
Dad and I went to a Robert Earl King concert, one of Wes favorite singers, Sat. night. Us OLD folks were still lickin up our heels after 11 pm.. well more like hobbling to the car to go home.:)
Easter was Awesome...so glad Jesus paid the price for my sins. AWESOME!!!!
Danny, Amber and the kids came over about 2:30...I gave them their basket filled with toys, and candy. I had to laugh cause first thing Danny does is cleared all the candy out of the baskets...he now understands why I did that.. Then it was out back to the Great Easter EGG Hunt... kids had a great time finding all those eggs. With baskets over flowing and playing I went in to get the finish dinner set out.
We didnt have much to eat,, 14lb smoked turkey, stuffing,12lb ham, augratin potatoes, yams,3 veggies, fruit salad, cranberry sauce, gravy, and rolls. For dessert I made Danny a cheesecake with strawberries, Amber made her jello and fruit cake and Danny brought in a Marie Calendars apple crumb pie.... It was so nice to send most of the left overs home with them.
We played out in front yard til the rain storm came in then we headed inthe house and seemed everyone had some kinds of electronic game to play or toys...
Something was still missing for me,, Brians family and Lara & Jim...:(
Glad I got to talked to both of them.
