When I’m with my family at Easter, I feel so alive!  Nothing beats family, fun and good food!  Here are the girls in the first picture with cousin Harper and in the second picture, they are cuddling with my grandmother’s sister, Polly (my great aunt who I claim as my very own Granny too!).  The girls adore her and listen to all our phone conversations very intently.  They think she’s a hoot… and she is!  Love her!

Yay for cousin time!!!

 

Having cousin Amber at the reunion was icing on the cake.  She and I text and email often, and we just get each other.  She’s the best!  Noelle said, “Cousin Linda is the coolest lady in all the world!”  Linda coordinates our Easter weekends and out-does herself each year.  We are so grateful for all her hard work and cheerful attitude.  She’s like a kid in a candy store watching the kids with their surprises… she’s so giving and loving and everyone knows she’s the joy behind it all!

 

The girls wanted a picture in front of the Easter egg tree, but you can only see its pretty bow, lol.  Anna Kate and Kay Kay posed in front of the dessert table for you guys to see.  Next year, I need to take a picture of the 10 yard spread of delicious food.  It’s pretty impressive!

 

When Aunt Polly arrived, Noelle had been waiting for her with a mosaic Easter egg drawing that she made just for Aunt Polly.  She was so proud!  Aunt Polly was so sweet to admire it so, and she will definitely put it in a special place because I know it meant a lot to her too!

 

Cuddles from Poppa and pics with Amber (Amber is Polly’s granddaughter; her dad and my mom are first cousins) and Polly (my mom’s mom’s sister).

 

Flashback pic!  Regan is holding Anna Kate this year in the first picture, and I am holding Regan, pregnant with Noelle in 2006.  So crazy how fast they grow!!!

 

Aunt Nancy (and Brother Man) are due in June with their second baby girl.  They are keeping the name a secret, and we are so excited and happy for their growing little family!!!  Where ever there is Rara, Anna Kate’s usually pretty close by.  She’s our stick tight… always likes an adventure, as long as we are not too far away. 

 

These pictures make me so happy!  I love our family SO much and miss my sister’s family who live in England right now.  Can’t wait to have them in the Easter mix when they move back to the states.  All 6 girls and Drew (and one more blessed baby on the way) are going to play so hard… it’s going to be great!
