Easter 2011....

It was our first Easter together in 14 years...or the first one that included Tim, and as a huge added bonus...Mandy and Brooklynn!! It is hard to believe that many years have passed since we shipped Tim off to Annapolis and became accustomed to Easter celebrations minus part of the family. But those years are over and we are enjoying every minute of the time we have had since they became Texans again!
It was not too hard to convince little "B" to grab a basket and head outside for the big egg hunt!
Practice makes perfect and Mandy and Tim had gone over the fine points of finding the hidden eggs and putting them in the basket for some time before the big day.
I love our family and the times we are able to get together. It is hard to believe that these are our kids...and our kids have kids of their own now. It is another generation and to have everyone be able to spend holidays together is perfect! I hope they will have as many memories of their times together as I have of the times I spend with my cousins.

And...having a grand baby to add to the mix is just the best part of it all. Loving a grandbaby is unlike any other love.
It was another successful holiday Shubzda style! Looking forward to what the rest of the year will bring because nothing can take the place of family bonds.
