HAPPY EASTER!

Yesterday most of my family gathered at my sister's and brother-in-law's home to celebrate Easter with a cookout and egg hunts (one for the little one and one for the older grandchildren).  My sister, Janet, her husband David and their sons, Alex, Garrett, and Logan; Susan's and Preston's daughter, Mary Beth, her husband, Phil and their two children Sawyer and Delilah; my dad, Bobby Jones; and Chuck, Rip, and I enjoyed good food and lots of fun.  Kip was unable to attend because he is still working 12/7 (12 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Susan's boys and their families couldn't be there either.  Julia is in Virginia at Fort Belvoir with her 4 children while Joshua is completing a course with the Air Force in Nevada.  We did get to Facetime with Julia and the kiddos, though.  Brooks and Courtney and their 2 daughters weren't able to come from Chickamauga either. While we missed those could not be there, we had a wonderful time. You just can't beat hot dogs and hamburgers on the grill with all the fixings.  Susan prepared the cutest and most delicious Peeps Easter Bunny Dessert complete with edible grass!

While the hospitality, the good food and the fellowship made the day fun, Delilah Ruth stole the show.  She will be 1 month old April 21st. She kindly allowed us to cuddle her as much as we wanted.

  Sawyer, Delilah's older brother was a veteran at hunting eggs.

The grandchildren also got to hunt eggs and win prizes. There was definitely some fierce competition to find the most eggs.  Phil won with 8.  He won the gold prize, Logan won the silver and the rest all received bronze.  The prizes were gift cards from Starbucks, Chick-fil-A, and Subway.  Thanks, Aunt Susan and Uncle Preston.

Most of the cousins

Logan graduates from the Advanced Academy at the University of West Georgia next weekend.  That's just one more opportunity for family time before we begin our Grand Adventure!
