A gorgeous Easter

What a day!!! The weather could not have been any more perfect than it was today. Just a nice breeze and temperatures in the 70s.

We held our family's Easter get-together at our home. Guests included Grandma (Neva Kiefer-Duncan), Nonny (Donna Lou Elder), Leif, Lori and Lars Christensen, Rob, Lona Sue and Hunter Carson and the four of us. Unfortunately, our son and his wife, (Adam and Mel Blau) were unable to be with us as Mel had to work.

Stan was in charge of roasting pork from Seaboard Foods where he works. We had two Applewood Bacon Roasts and one Portebello Mushroom Roast. We also served a potato casserole that Stan created, homemade dinner rolls, angel food cake, mixed vegetables, deviled eggs, etc. Everyone else brought lots and LOTS of food! Late in the day, we had ice cream sundaes at my mom's request. They were DELICIOUS!!!

Lori started a brand new tradition in our family today--kite flying on Easter! Lori's best friend, Valerie Lobmeyer, has done this with her kids for years. Lori purchased four adorable kites for each of the kids. They flew them in the pasture to the north of us. This activity kept them and several adults busy for 2 or 3 hours. Meanwhile, everyone else enjoyed visiting and MUCH laughing at home.

We are so VERY fortunate to have such wonderful people whom we love so greatly to spend holidays together!!! So many people are left all alone for the special days.

Hope that you all enjoyed as special a day as we did!!!
