Easter 2009

This morning started out like any other Sunday morning....NOT! I invited everyone over for Easter lunch, (? Where was my brain?) Next time it will be Easter "middle of the afternoon" meal! So I got up at five this morning to begin cooking the meal. I made the green bean casserole, got the roast, potatoes, and carrots in gravy ready to pop in oven...put the green beans in the oven and took the timer to bed with me to grab a few quick winks before jumping up to swap and put in the roast. Whew! I made some of the meal yesterday, so it wasn't too bad. Then made a quick change and off to Sunday School and Church. Which by the way, was a wonderful Easter sermon! All the while the roast was cooking, it was ALSO spilling over into my oven....Thank the Lord for self-cleaning ovens!!! I DID manage to get the meal on the table by 12:45!!! Pretty impressive if I say so myself! :-) I know it doesn't seem like a big accomplishment to someone like my Aunt Mary, who can pop out a meal for 30 with what seemed like to us with no effort..(NOW I KNOW DIFFERENT!!!) Kudos to you, Aunt Mary! But, for me...this was huge!
Anyway, we did manage to squeeze in our Easter family pictures before the meal.......(we had to make them inside because it was pouring down rain!!!!)


This one has Jessica's boyfriend, Lyndon.

My little babies.....(I can still call them that!) Oh yes, the Easter bunny still visits our house!

Enjoyed a great meal :-) and good times with my family. Mama came over and so did Chip's parents. Hope every one's Easter was as wonderful as mine!
