Easter Dinner

My cousin, Kristi, lives in Durham with her husband Jay.  Her parents and siblings (Aunt Kathy, Uncle Jimmy, Mike, Allison, and David) were coming up to visit on Easter weekend, so since Mama, Daddy and Stanley had come up for the weekend too, we decided we needed to all get together for an early Easter dinner on Saturday night. 

Here is Aunt Kathy holding Hannah for the first time.:) 

 

Aunt Kathy and Uncle Jimmy gave Emily a "Baby Stella" doll when Hannah was born.  They thought it would be fun for her to have her own baby to take care of.  Emily loves Baby Stella (Ste-wa)!!  

For Emily's birthday they got her another outfit and backpack so that she could carry baby Stella!

Showing off her new backpack.  You can see Stella's head just behind Emily's.:)  Thanks, Aunt Kathy, Emily loves it! 

Allison and Hannah hanging out!!

Katherine was trying to feed Jacob, but Emily wanted to help.  I think she was doing more distracting than helping, but Jacob certainly didn't mind.:) 

Mimi with her three babies!  She looks like she could just burst from happiness in this picture.:) 

Since we all got together on our birthday weekend they sang to me and Em.:)  I'm holding Emily's hands back because I certainly don't trust her with fire. 

I have no idea what Kate, Daddy and Hannah are looking at, but I just loved that Hannah was looking at the same thing that they were.  She's getting some much more alert these days! 

Aunt Kathy thought it would be fun to have a modified Easter egg hunt.  She put quarters, candy, or a dollar bill in the eggs, then she dumped all the eggs out on the floor and told us how many eggs we could pick up each round.  We're a slightly competitive group so it got a little rough at times, but we had so much fun! 

 

It was great to all be together, but we definitely missed the Thrashers (my mom's sister, her husband and their children)!  Hopefully next time all 21 of us will be able to come!
