Easter Dinner

It was a wonderful success. Dinner was at my sister's, and nobody argued, plenty of laughter and good times. Dinner included ham, hashed browns with a cereal topping, broccoli and bacon, fruit and pretzel salad, and carrot cake for dessert. This is very unlike any holiday I've had with my family. Usually someone argues and gets upset before everyone goes their separate ways. I took lots of pictures, which I've already saved in Paint, so I should be able to get one to share with you. It was impossible to get a picture with all of us in one shot, so I'm going to show one with most of us. Since I took all the pictures, I'm not in any of them. I hope you all had a good holiday.

It really was. I never had a better holiday. Oh, yes there was one, almost forgot about it because it wasn't on the holiday but a month later because my mom was sick on Christmas.

@just4him Awwe. I love family gatherings, and even more when there is no drama involved (I've been there with my own family so I know stressful and/or irritating that can be). I'm so glad it went well for you, and I hope the next gathering is just as good! :)

It was. My sister is a great cook. That's half the gang. That's my niece with her back to the camera, brother-in-law, Dad, my nephew - brother's son and niece - his step daughter. Here's another.

I'm glad you had a nice Easter dinner with your family. It's wonderful when you don't have to cook, too!

@DianneN I found when I got home he had been here, picked up his stuff and his bike and left. So I don't know how he's doing. My younger son is working. I pick him up from work in a couple hours.

That must have been indeed a great success: no arguments, just good food and good laughs.

My sister baked it. The topping looked like crushed Chex, but I'm not sure. It was very good.

So am I, especially Dad. He has a way of ruining every gathering, but this time he was on his best behavior and everyone had a good time. That's him in the white shirt at the end of the table.

So did we and it ultimately ended up with baseball. My sister and brother-in-law whose house we were at, and my bother and sister-in-law decided to take Dad to a Cubs/Brewers game in May. My brother-in-law is the one on the left with the glasses. Dad is on the end in the white shirt. Dad is looking forward to the game. He hasn't been to a game in a long time, and he loves the Cubs. This will no doubt be his last game he'll attend. He's gotten frail over the past couple years.

It's a shame you have to stay in your room to have a good day.
