Jake and Mary: Easter Weekend

Easter weekend was fun filled and packed with a lot of love and family! My parents, Jake's parents, Jake's brother, sister-in-law, nephew, sister, and his sister's boyfriend all came to visit! It was so wonderful to see everyone and spend the weekend playing games, going to church, and eating lots of food! Kelsey was also being confirmed in the the Catholic church so we went the all of the Holy week masses and spent a lot of time with Ty's family that was in town for the event. Our nephew, Kellen, is almost 2 and a ball of energy. He LOVES balls, and balls, and more balls! We had an Easter egg hunt for him and he loved opening the eggs to find candy (the cheerios went on to the ground!). On Easter Sunday we had a 20 pound turkey AND a 20 pound ham, about 5 different salads, mashed potatoes, bunny pasta, potato buns, and more I am sure I have forgotten to mention. The dinner was yummy and the best part was being together with all of the people we love most (only Hank and Rachel -my brother and sister-in-law- we missing). We opened lots of Easter baskets and Jake's dad, Kelley, made all of the kids beautiful quilt holders to put Colleen's (Jake's mom) beautiful quilts on. That night we celebrated Kelly's 41st birthday with german chocolate cake! Thank you for all of the fun and love everyone!
