1. We went to my grandparents' house on Saturday and my mom and dad and siblings and brother-in-law met us there.
2. We didn't go to work on Sunday either -yay! (We usually work at least one weekend day if not two.)
3. Tonight we had a lovely Easter dinner of our own with Cornish Game Hens and Stuffing (made in the oven)and a beautiful green salad.
Photographic evidence of number 1. That's us in order of age, what else, me, Beth, Katie, Rich - left to right. Now I feel bad that I didn't put up a picture of Beth sooner but it wasn't her birthday and she didn't come to visit me the weekend after I got my new camera. She loves purple, so easter is a great time of year for her. Don't we look alike? I was Chrissy when we were little and she is Bethie of course.
Photographic evidence of number 3.
We ate in courses because we were too hungry to wait for each thing to finish and too stupid to get it to all come out at the same time. It was good - I think the stuffing came out pretty good, although it was kind of damp because I didn't use really dry bread. Just cooked it a little longer to even it out. I cut the butter by 2/3 after that super-buttery stuffing that we made for our Thanksgiving/Hannukah/Christmas party. Why would you need more fat than that? That was still aplenty.

OK, so how on earth do you stay so thin eating all that good food plus the cookies from the other night & the wine? I envy you.
That picture makes me hungry.
Your family is so cute. And your bro is a looker! Glad you had a great weekend.
I love siblings pictures! I should post a picture of all 8 of us together sometime - the last time all of us were together was T'Giving 2003. And, yes, your bro is cute!
BTW- I *love* the hair!
I love our sibling pictures too. We have to kick all the in-laws out of course. They seem okay with it though.
Thanks for the compliments on perceived thinness, hair and brother! It was only a month since I saw my brother, but that was right after he quit smoking, and I think he looks somehow markedly better now than he did last month. Maybe just healthier... I hope he keeps it up!
PS I didn't really eat cookies the other night. I didn't get around to making them. Probably just as well though...
What a cute family! not one ugly duckling in the bunch:)
Kiddo~I love sibling pic's too post some:)
You all do look so much alike!
The dinner looks so ymmuy too. I made cornish hens once but they didn't look that good.
