Pur et Simple

Our friends on the east side of the mountains sent us a fun Valentine box.  In it were suckers, but not just any suckers.  These had cut out lips or moustaches attached so that when you suck the sucker you have girly lips or a handsome moustache. What fun silliness. 

We wanted to get a photo with EVERY one in it, but between sickness in February and adult children who are quite busy...it wasn't happening.   We had a narrow window of opportunity on Easter Sunday.

 

So in addition to rejoicing and celebrating the most joyous news to all of mankind... that

HE IS RISEN

We also enjoyed some fun family time.

We enjoyed a lovely dinner when we came home from church.  On the menu was ham, creamed corn, (this recipe has been specifically requested by my children for years...Thank you, Karen!) spinach salad with strawberries, scalloped potatoes, trinity rolls (clover rolls) and coconut custard pie for dessert.
Not quite a gluten free, dairy free, fat free kind of meal, but oh so good!

We also enjoyed the glorious sunshine.  It was 70!  Some Easters have been so cold and blustery, but not today.  Today was absolutely beautiful!

Today was a wonderful day with our children; we just wish all our family could have been here too.  Hugs to all the Grandpas, Grandmas, Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins.
