family fun

this year we hosted easter at our house for the first time - inviting over both our families. we had such a wonderful time and are so blessed to have such great and loving parents, sisters (and brother-in-laws), niece and nephews.

we took on making the ham - well, i made the pineapple glaze and brandt did the carving - and also the dessert (see sugar on top tomorrow for the cake!) and everyone else brought the other family get together standards.

i had a chance to take some photos of all the kids - they were all pretty energetic (to say the least) and they had a great time playing with milo, hiding and finding eggs and blowing bubbles (well, at least sharon did!).

what's the verdict you ask? perhaps we'll host next year, but after entertaining 3 parents, 2 sisters, 1 brother-in-law, 4 kiddos and the 50lb dog....well, let's just say we were both glad it was just the 2 of us and one tired pup at the end of the day. however, next year, my sister will have one more kiddo to add to the brood!
