On Friday night, we celebrated Abby's 7th birthday with my family. I cannot believe that she is 7 years old. Time sure does fly by! My parents, Stephen, Bryan, Angie and Charlie all came over for supper. Abby chose spaghetti and chocolate cake for her birthday meal. Her real birthday was Saturday, March 29th, but we celebrated a day early since we had two soccer games and her birthday party with her friends on Saturday afternoon. It was a fun time!

Joshua had fun playing peek a boo with Charlie.

My parents gave Abby some skates (they look like roller blades) and she and Joshua skated up and down the hall since it was dark outside. Sarah was quite sad that she didn't have any skates, so FUN Aunt Angie made her some skates out of saran wrap. You are so creative Angie!

After a wonderful church service on Easter Sunday, we went to my parent's house for lunch. My Uncle Tommy and Aunt Jane, Uncle John and Aunt Merle, Carol , Sue, Bryan, Angie and Charlie also came. It was so much fun to be together and visit with everyone. My dad has more pics on his camera, so when I get copies, I may add some more pics of some of the other family members who were there.

Everyone chipped in and brought a dish and the food was delicious! After lunch, we had an Easter egg hunt for the kids. They had so much fun finding them.

When Sarah opened one of the eggs she found, it had cheerios in it! She had found one of Charlie's eggs and was not too sure about the discovery of cheerios. It was funny watching her.

Dad and Mom always hide a cross in one of the Easter eggs and the kids are always excited about who will find it. This year, Abby found it and she was thrilled!
