Easter

I had such a nice Easter this year! My family came over for the annual Easter Egg hunt at my house. They came to church with me. After church we ate REALLY yummy food (leg of lamb, asparagas, new potatoes, and strawberry shortcake)...THEN the Easter egg hunt!!! After all the festivities were over my younger brothers and sisters played outside while the adults and older kids played Settlers of Catan (my favorite board game!).

My Family (My mom, me, and my six younger siblings...I'm the oldest of 9 kids!)



My mom spotted an egg!!! I was laughing so hard...luckily I had the camera nearby!


I was worried the older kids wouldn't participate in the Easter egg hunt this year. I was wrong...this is my 17-year old brother Thomas!


My brother Joseph told my baby brother Dylan he would pay him $6 to climb to the top of this large tree/shrub in my backyard. It was so windy, we thought we were going to loose Dylan! I hope he get's his 6 bucks!

Everyone "hunting" for eggs!

What a fun Easter! I just love to hear and see people getting together with their families to enjoy the day! You guys look like you had so much fun and you have such a beautiful fam, Tiff! Props to Dylan for being such a brave guy -- you couldn't have paid me $100 to climb that in the wind we had yesterday! Thanks, also for the really sweet comments you made on my site -- I REALLY appreciate the support and friendship from someone who understands!

How wonderful that you got to spend the day having fun with your family! I'm 100% jealous. It's toughest living far away from family around the holidays . . . thanks for sharing.

(9 kids - wow!)

I can't believe how old the kids are getting! I'm glad it was a success! You have the best backyard for a egg hunt too!!

Nine kids???!!! Wow, you have a huge family. How cool. It's just me and my brother in my family and I love him to death. Too bad there aren't 7 more of him. :-)
