After church, we invited family and friends to join us for Easter dinner.
Beth is slicing the baked ham (with a honey glaze). (Kevin will later deal with a backed up kitchen sink....prompted by my putting too many potato peels down the disposal...poor guy. It was not to end that day, nor the next, nor the next....)
Mom and Maynard stirring up her famous Snicker Tapioca Pudding (it's what I always ask her to bring....my favorite.)
During dinner preparations, Grandma calls Julie and Jesse into a bedroom to select a baby gift for their baby, which she will give them when her great grandchild is born.
Jesse helps choose.
Ahhh...back to dinner preparations.
Gathered around the dinner table. Menu consisted of cheesy scalloped potatoes, baked ham, green bean casserole, asiago bread, deviled eggs, veggies, tapioca pudding, swiss cheese. Everyone contributed. For dessert: homemade ice cream (using the ice cream maker Jesse and Julie gave us for Christmas and Aunt Shelly's recipe...the best ever), homemade angel food cake, strawberries, ice cream toppings. Wonderful company!!! We are blessed.
Jesse and Julie...and baby (in process of being knit together)

Anna wanted to send a note to her son in Iraq via this picture. He's supposed to come home in May. We're praying for his safe return.

Hold on a sec.
According to your caption Jesse helped to make the decision on a baby outfit. Having been with with Jesse as he made a decision as to which souvenirs to buy, I must say that I wonder, simply question a bit, the accuracy of the use of the word 'help'. :)
Great post, Penni. Thanks for sharing the photos and events with us.
Love, K

Kari...the baby gift decision was actually made within a few min, even though Jesse was in on it.
And Dee...thank you for your kind words. Feel free to add to your comment when you have more time ;o) So anxious to see you and your family next month! If your plans change and you need/want a place to stay, our home is still open to you and yours. Love, Penni
