A Real Easter Celebration

We had a wonderful time this Easter weekend being with several family members!  Now that vaccines are part of our lives, we feel safer being together.  The weather was lovely so we spent most of the time outdoors.  We shared a delicious carry-in lunch then all participated in the traditional Easter egg hunt.  The kids enjoyed playing together outdoors and the adults enjoyed watching them and visiting in the beautiful sunshine.  What a big difference from last year!

Here is Jack's family!

Here is our whole crew!  

We also had an extra special reason to celebrate this weekend!  Our son, Andy and his long-time girlfriend, Jamie, became engaged a couple of weeks ago!!  This was the first time the extended family was together to congratulate the happy couple.  

  

They actually became engaged March 6, after a round of golf.  Andy had planned to pop the question several times that day but finally the right moment came when they got home and he proposed in the kitchen!  

These two have dated since they were in high school and have been friends since grade school!  Jamie has recently achieved her degree in general dentistry and is now seeing patients not far from their home.  Andy is an agriculture sales representative in eastern Illinois. 

We are just SO happy for them!!  It will be fun to see what they plan 

for their special day!

I'm hoping each of you had a very blessed and healthy Easter!  Wishing you a wonderful week!
