Easter and blessings....





Aunt Judy-a fav aunt- I remember she could tease her hair and drive with her knees! COOL!







Boot Camp babes! See more!

Again I am overwhelmed with the blessings of having a great family. Today was Easter at Aunt Judy and Uncle Darryl. It has been about 6 years since my Aunt Clarice has passed away. I am going to try to explain why these families get together. You see Clarice is my mom's sister. Clarice was friends in high school with Judy who married my Dad's brother. She is missed. Did you get that? Well for a long time we have all still gotten together on Easter-three families and their children and grandchildren. New babies to crabby teens we got it covered. That is what families do when there is a loss-they fill in the holes. We know Aunt Clarice is in heaven but we will try to help her family move forward until they see each other again. Beyond that we ate, we laughed, we gathered and prayed. All in all...perfect!

Aw....nice post. I miss my mom, but so glad to be able to spend the day with our family. She would be proud that this tradition has continued on. Love you guys!

It's great to have a snap sister at our family gatherings. I will need copies of these pics. ;)

BTW - The comments about 'cool' Aunt Judy are a hoot.
