Easter at our house
In the rest of the news, Ben and Zach were home for a three-day weekend. Everyone except Jasmine's family was here for Easter dinner. Here are photos taken by Sophia - except when she is in the picture, I guess she handed the camera to someone else:
Grandson Jeffrey
Daniel setting the kids' table (there are 19 of us)
Jonny loves the special glasses!
When Big Bro Ben hugs, you know you've been hugged!
Tripp hams it up.
Zach and Sophia
Zach and Maddy
Josh and Hattie say goodbye - on their way to see her family next.
Jonny and his nephew (our grandson) Andrew
After dinner conversation - my favorite part of the meal :)
Sophia and my oldest grandchild - Tim (Sam and I were actually pregnant at the same time)
Samantha Sunshine - my first, now mother of five herself. So proud of her!

Looks like a lot of fun, Barbara. Should we expect an invitation next year?

Oh, you have a Special Plate! My mom has that plate. She used it all the time when we were growing up to honor us when we achieved something special.

Can you adopt me? I always wanted to be part of a large family. :) This easter was just my immediate family since we live so far away from everybody else.
Those are great pictures. I especially loved the last one. You should get that framed.

What great pictures. Thank you for sharing your Easter celebration with us. Samantha looks so much like you!

Samantha does look like you! So beautiful! I hope I look that good when I have 5... or however many God has for us. She doesn't know it, but she is my own personal hero. I'm the oldest of 10 and raising my first 2 now. How encouraging to know of someone with a similar background walking a few steps ahead of me with grace. What a fantastic testimony for your family!
What a joy to spend Easter together! Christ is Risen! He is risen indeed!

Oh my goodnes Samantha is a carbon copy of you. I thought it was you at first. Loved all the pictures.

Wow, Samantha does look like you!
I'm just dropping in to say how pleased I was to hear that you were on WORD FM (Pittsburgh) today. Josiah and I have complained at times that the afternoon talk show lacks depth and thoughtfulness, but your interview (which we missed, sadly!) prompted a very interesting discussion afterwards on modesty and raising teens, especially girls.
Thank you!

Wow! I can not believe how alike everyone looks! What a beautiful family.

Sam looks so much like you! Wow!
Looks like you had a wonderful Easter celebration! He is Risen!

Thank you so much for sharing those photos! How fun it must be to have nephews/sons and sons/grandsons nearly the same age!

Barbara. Your family is beautiful! How fun it must be when all can get together. What conversations you must have. Does everyone listen to one another or are there numerous convos going on at all times? Just wondering. I'm sure you laugh at that question.

PS: Abigail and Porter turn 1 on Sunday! I'll send pics your way!
