Thursday I needed to go to the city, so on my way home I stopped by to get Jett. He could come to the farm early and have extra time with his cousins.
Friday, the Woods Family arrived and the cousins played, and played, and played.
Saturday, Mitch and Amberlea came down. A cook-out, egg hunt and family time was the "order of the day". Late that afternoon, the Elliott family headed home.
Sunday, Mel and I along with the Woods Family went to the sunrise service at our church.
We, as Christians, remember that our Lord provided forgiveness of our sins on the cross and the promise of eternal life with him with His resurrection. All we could ever ask for or need!
We came home and enjoyed breakfast burritos. It began to rain and did it rain hard! We received 2 1/4 inches of rain. It was a great time for relaxing, playing games, watching movies and enjoying our meal of ham, baked beans and hashbrown casserole. In the evening we had Dr. Pepper Floats.
Flowers Jett picked and gave to me.
Jett played on the wagon while I "weed-eated" around the front gate.
