Family gatherings

Since I have been married, 

I have not know anything but large holiday gatherings for every holiday. 

Never a dull moment,  it's even branched into the 3rd generation...

 it's a lot of people all together in one home.... that being my mom & dad's  home. 

Easter was the most recent gathering, all of us gathered together 

except my dear daughter who was working as a nurse at the hospital.  

That make 25...whew.

Thought I would share a little bit of our family on Easter

Ok, so maybe a lot....

 My Son-in-love and grands after church

 Grandma Mary's got the best food

 I'm usually the last to eat, I love getting the candid shots

My dad with his #4 great grandchild

More eating shots

The rain stopped so let the games begin

Carson and Audrey love playing chalk 

Grandpa Rick engages with little Carson ...

... who always wants grandpa to draw balls.

Did I forget to mention the 2 dogs?

This is my sister's dog, Ruby.

My nephew Jamey with his dog Major Briggs

Audrey is taking him for a little walk. 

 Notice the cars lined up on the road that goes past mom & dad's

That line extends well beyond the driveway

 My nephew Sam showing Carson how to dribble

Slam dunk! 

My sister holding her our grand niece Abby, she belongs to my niece Megan (far left)

There are many that I didn't get in the photos, but I love them all the same.
