We had an amazing Easter Sunday! We woke up bright and early racing to the front door to see if the Easter bunny came! And guess what? HE DID!!! He brought Kaleb and Cameron all sorts of cool toys and chocolates! They pretty much thought their easter baskets were awesome! Kaleb got a game, cars, books, chalk, and candy! Cameron got a hammering toy, a barbie, books, and candy. They loved it!
After that portion of the morning - we headed over to the Gold Room at the Best Western to join the family for a celebration of our Grandma Dott's 90th birthday! We had a TON family there: Me, Joe, Kaleb, Cameron, Joe's sister Elizabeth, his brother Will, his brother Geoff (his wife Maria), and his brother Matt (and his wife Patricia). Joe's mom and dad (Donna & Doug) were there. And most of the grandchildren: Brett, Tyler, Christian, April (and her bf Chad), Claire, Amanda (and her husband Richard and nb son Bradley), Katie, and...I think that might be it! I am sorry if I forgot someone! We had a great feast of all the sausage, bacon, fresh fruit, eggs, and french toast you could eat! Then Grandma Dott's 5 grandchildren (Joe, Matt, Elizabeth, Will, Geoff) each stood up to tell Grandma Dott about all the reasons they loved her and the memories of her in their childhood. It was beautiful. Matt and Elizabeth did a BEAUTIFUL duet together and all the grandkids sang "I am a child of god" to her. Also very beautiful! I could hear little Kaleb loudly singing all the right words!! Then we went outside for an Easter egg hunt!
We would love to take this small moment to thank Donna for getting us all together for this special day. Joe and ALL 5 of his brothers and sister had not been together at the same time in 12-14 years! It was a very special day and Donna planned it all! She got the birthday party together, the people together, etc...It was such a special day and we are all so thankful to have been able to be apart of it and spend the time together! I am just about the luckiest "junior" daughter-in-law in the whole world! We love you! xo

Maria dyed 5 dozen eggs, so between the 5 younger grandkids there were 9 dozen eggs to find! It was blast!
