Easter at Granny and Grandpa's

We spent Easter dinner with my parents. It was a long trip to their house....we had to walk...next door! :-) What a blessing to live next door to my parents.



We had breakfast with them too...well and with the rest of the church, after Easter sunrise services. After the sunrise service and breakfast, we had the added blessing of seeing our oldest nephew baptized (see the previous post), and then over to Granny and Grandpa's house for lunch.



I remembered my camera this time. Here are my girls with their Grandpa. Hannah is hoping to be taller than Grandpa (who is 6'2"). He was teasing her by standing on his tip-toes before the photo. She is getting close! My dad's middle name is Linn, and so is mine, and so is Hannah's. I love that!

Here are Rachel and Granny. My mom's middle name is Ann and my Granny's middle name was Rachel. Our oldest daughter, Rachel Ann, is named after 2 of my most favorite women in the world:

My mom set the most beautiful Easter table:

I had to snap a few photos of my girls:

While we waited for the food to finish cooking, we all had fun visiting. My family is all wearing Baylor gold and green because the Lady Bears were playing UCONN that night (I still can't talk about it). I love this photo of my dad chillin' on the counter.

And Mom kept her eye on our dinner:

In the meantime, we played with this bunny parachute:

And then it was time to eat! Dinner was incredible. Imagine a beautiful honey baked spiral ham, fluffy white mashed potatoes, an asparagus casserole, pineapple pretzel salad, warm rolls, iced tea, and strawberries with whip cream. It was delicious! Trust me...I don't have the pictures to prove it...but it was!
