Christmas in January Part II

After spending about three days with John's parents we headed down to Lincolnton to see my family. I was so excited to see my sisters and brother and to see my precious little niece Savannah. Kayleigh and Zeb were also very excited to see Savannah. Once again we celebrated Christmas. My sisters and brother with their spouses came over for a french toast breakfast and then we opened about one million gifts. At least it seemed that way! That evening my extended family came over on my mom's side. I have three boy cousins who are all married and have lots of kids. Kayleigh and Zeb were in cousin heaven! It was so very good for my soul to be with our family again and to spend time with them.

Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter! In the afternoon we had an Easter egg hunt with all the kids followed by a great picnic of breakfast food for dinner! It was fun to see Kayleigh really get into finding the Easter eggs this year. In past years we had to "hide" the eggs in the open so she would find them but this year we could actually hide them in real places. Hope everyone had a great day!

We placed candy inside the eggs as a treat. However, as soon as Zeb found an egg he would open the egg and the candy would fall to the ground which meant it was too gross to eat!

All of our Easter egg hunters!

Breakfast Club at the Juniper Tree

This was a great picture of our normal routine for breakfast at the Juniper Tree each morning. All the kids and their parents sat at one table while enjoying the blessings of good bread and incredible pineapple and guava. Breakfast was at 8 so everyone had been up and about for sometime before eating. This was a fun time of enjoying our friends at a meal.

Christmas Time!

This is Christmas Day when we had the Dean's over and had breakfast together.
We then opened presents together, Kayleigh went first and opened her gifts form us and from the Deans. She had a great morning as you can see.
