Default I'm so excited

Just wanted to share my good news that I got today. No, I didn't win a lottery or nothing, although for this grandmother, it sure feels like it. Corinne and the baby are going to come for Easter this year!! Her hubby has to work...so they will make the 1 1/2 trip to be with us. I am so excited....now just have to pray the weather cooperates!! Went and bought Kaileys Easter presents today...101 Dalmations DVD...and Crayola finger painting easel and little egg thingies...just for her age...and some clothes. It will make this year a Happy Easter for sure. No need to reply to this....just needed to share my joy.

when candy was in college, we had as many as 40 for dinner. we really made it into a feast. then for years we had just family ranging from 8-16 people. this year heather asked if i would have all the cousins aunts and uncles plus significant others... it is not as easy as i get older. i will start cooking this week for a holidy that starts 4/20.

if you're up for the trip and have never been to a seder, come on down y'all. it's as easy to cook for 50 as it is for 20.

heather will prepare a few things. i cook it all from scratch. i'll send you the menu if you want.

Just a quick note...my Easter didn't turn out the way I planned....Corinne and baby stayed home after all. Hubby wasn't working until 5 p.m., so they were able to attend church services and spend family time together before he went. I was disappointed, but also totally understood. Family traditions that need to be made. Hopefully I get pictures!!!

sorry it didn't work out the way you planned but at least it is for a great reason. a young family is together and happy for a holiday. isn't that a parent's dream? better yet, next year you can extend the tradition and make her cook, lol.
