When the Family Gets Together.....

We celebrated Easter this past weekend. We did so because many of the family will be gone for the Easter weekend, plus Chelsea has to work. Our family has the most fun when we get together. The children love to play with each other and the adults love to visit and laugh.

Noah and Mia are definitely BFF's! The cousins are all working on making rabbit string necklaces.
Looks like Rajko is enjoying eating his necklace pieces better than stringing them.
These two little girls love each other. The only reason Emmie isn't right in on the hugs is because she has become so proficient at walking around that she doesn't hang around Evie and Liv that are not quite as mobile.
Looks like Patrice has captured Emmie long enough for her to take a look at her Daddy helping big brother with his necklace.



Evan, Eli and Rajko are good little buds. They have big stories to tell each other and are very busy trying to rule the world. Normally Jack is with them, but he spent the weekend up north.

The yummy food selection was absolutely amazing. The kids even enjoy trying new foods.

It really is always a party when we get together. Everyone loves and enjoys each other...even though there is a lot of teasing that goes on.
Funny...as I looked through the pictures, most of the time the children are not with their own parents...they are with an aunt or uncle. How fun is that...feeling that comfortable around each other.
The children all worked hard making their necklaces/treats. It is fun to see them so involved in a project.
Thanks to Chelsea for letting us party at her house and thanks to all the children and grandchildren for coming together as a family and especially for loving each other and enjoying being together.
Thanks, especially, to our Father Up Above, for sending His Son to this world. Thanks to our Savior and Redeemer for atoning for our sins and giving His life, thus giving us the opportunity of eternal life.

It is always a great time when we get together-the kids are so lucky to have the opportunity to live so close to all their cousins and grandparents. The food was amazing and the company was perfect. Those lithe girls will be bugging the four amigos before we know it!
