Easter 2009 found me in Dallas. Angie and Lili moved to Texas and I helped her and was able to stay 2 weeks. So I took lots of pictures at Easter.

This one is of Mother, Jan, Julie and Sarah: 4 Generations. It's amazing to see that the grandkids are getting so big, much less being old enough to have grandkids.

This was the first time that Lili had spent Easter with the Texas family and the first time I hadn't been with Tim, Sarah, Isabel and Trent. That was tough, but it was nice to be with the family again.

The kids had a great time. Jan and crew had hidden almost 300 eggs for the 5 kids to find. Grand prize was a $5 bill, Chadin (the youngest) won



If you look closely you can see eggs all over the ground. Dillon was kind of upset that he was too old this year to hunt... but that's part of growing up. All the kids got along and had a good time and everyone gathered a LOT of eggs. It's such a joy to watch the kids have fun!

They gathered so many eggs that each child had to have a plastic bag to put their goodies in while they went out and hunted some more. There was money and candy, so everyone came out okay. There were no squabbles, just lots of running and looking. Lili was in awe of the amount of eggs to find. She'd never seen that many!


Here's one that's close to my heart. I miss Lili so much my heart hurts, so I work on my layouts and see her every day. She has always been a part of my life (so it seems) that when she left part of my heart went with her.

Here she is as our little Easter bunny. The picture was taken over Angie's phone so it's not the best but it was precious that I had to use it!


I hope you like the Easter pictures. I will post some of Trent and Isabel very soon. I have gotten to see them more since Angie and Lili left. It's been great!
