Easter In The Rearview Mirror

Easter has come and gone....

and April is half over, Glitterinas!

Mother Nature isn't quite sure which 

weather pattern to choose.....

Good grief, I need to pause and 

take a moment.

Sigh.....

Our family gathered at 

our home, 

Five Gables Farm,

for an Easter celebration.

We are a big,

loud,

crazy,

wild,

fun,

busy,

hungry,

and lovable bunch!

We visit until everyone arrives.....

......take some group pictures....

Hey Cass and Tricia, where are my pictures of your 

crew?!?!

You know this means y'all have to get in the car 

and head back here.....I need pictures of your dear faces!

Here's a picture of the boss crew!

Janet, Christy, Tammy and Tricia.....

yes, an actual gathering of the goddesses!

After photo time, we pray and eat!

Hand washing is strongly encouraged.......

good job guys!

Thanks!

Line up and get a plate, napkin and utensils.....

.....and decide which delicious food you want!

There's always plenty of yumminess to choose from!

Multiple trips and plates are pretty much 

required!

Peeps are always a big hit....

After lunch and a nice leisurely visit we had some fun 

activities for the younger set!

 We kicked the fun off with a piñata....

.....I took a video 

(and it is hilarious)

but sadly did not get a picture of 

pretty Miss Bunny before she 

was a casualty of many whacks!

Her stash was spilled and claimed 

as cries were heard...

"Look at this!"

"Here, you can have this!"

"Oh wow, I want that!"

"Hey, is there another one of those?"

Jump ropes, yo yos, bubbles,

and my favorite.....

funny glasses with noses and mustaches!

Next up was the egg hunt!

The hunters were kind enough to 

let me take a few pictures before the 

hunt began.....

What a great bunch of fun....

all wrapped up in smiles and hugs!

The egg hunt was a success and as far as I can tell all

the eggs were discovered and retrieved!

My husband and I always have so much fun 

hosting this family gathering!

It's a joy to see everyone who is able to come!

We always hope that next year anyone who couldn't make it 

will be able to come.

When it's time for everyone to head for home

there's lots of hugs and kisses!

It might be awhile before we see each other again.

When the party is over and all the chairs are empty

our sweet barn cat, Miss Olympia, 

can finally claim a chair!

I hope your April is not flying by too quickly to enjoy!

Wishing you sunshine and a nice dose 

of happiness.....

thanks so much for stopping by, Glitterinas!

Until next time,

Tammy
