Easter 2013:

We had a large group for Easter this year, 62 people.  Thank goodness it didn't rain and people could gather on the front and back porch.  We had lots of babies this year and all boys.  We decided April needed to have a girl as they seem to be few in the family the past several years.

Andy's girlfriend's kids, Zoe and Nathan with Aunt Nonnie(It was sweet, Zoe came over and sat by me and then she slipped her arm around my back)
 
The tradition of having both sides of our family at Easter started in 1988 after we completed our new house.  It's always a large group and the amount varies year to year with other family commitments but this year was the largest group we've had.  My brother-in-law, Joe's family was able to make it this year and they had a very good time.  I think they're coming back next year.
 
I am grateful for my family and for my husband who does the majority of the cooking and cleaning up afterwards.
