family fun

what a great time we have every Easter.

when my Maw Maw Naomi was alive,

she made a coconut cake with a chocolate chicken

on top.  

(I actually remember a rooster.  Perhaps the chickens were sold out?)

My mom continues the tradition.

the boys wait (im)patiently for their gifts

too cool

 There is always fun and games involved including an egg toss.  

I *LOVE* the adult expressions.

St. Patrick's Day Parade

good food, good friends, good times!

It was one FOUR hour long party

divided in half.

 

Lots of kids.  Lots of fun.

so long, Stanley

The Thursday before Maw Maw passed away

 

we called her to see if she would take Flat Stanley.

 

She didn't answer her cell, so we tried again on Friday.

 

No luck.

 

We never got a chance to speak with Maw Maw.

 

 

So today with the help of two heart-shaped balloons,

 

Stanley went off to be with Maw Maw at last.
