Today was such a fun day.

Started out by going to church to witness an amazing "passion play" put on by our drama team. It was a great way to start out our Easter celebration, being reminded of what Christ did for us on the cross.

Then it was home to check on the Ham and prepare for Lunch at 1:00. Rick did the honors of slicing the ham, he always does a good job.

We had 19 from the "Hemmer side", Kellie, Brice, Ryan and Katie all came home from college, so we were happy to get to see them. The food menu was traditonal and yummy.

After lunch the older kids went out to have a game of "blocks and sticks" very original name but that's exactly what it is. It's a game Brice taught all of us and it involves stategically placing blocks in a row and trying to knock them over with sticks. There are a bunch of rules that go along with it and it's actually quite fun.

The winning team consisted of Brianna(audrey), Katie and Chris

The very determined LOSING team consisted of Ryan, Brice and Gavin.

It was a fun day, hanging out with family, watching the cousins play and enjoy being together. ***

Just when we thought our day was winding down, my mom and dad stopped in at about 8:30 for a surprise visit on their way back home from the cities. Thanks for stopping by guys :)
