The Saturday before Easter my Momma Lou and Daddy Bob always has a big Easter lunch and Egg hunt. That's my dad parents and he has 5 siblings. They each have 2-3 kids and now some of us has kids so its a big family gathering and I love it. The Nicholson family Easter contains lots and lots of the best food, tons of cousins, lots of story telling followed by even more laughter. Its starts with my papaw, Daddy Bob saying the prayer (its not a hurry up and same ole same ole prayer its a preachin prayer). The rules are the kids fix their plates and eat first then its help your self. Sometimes there is a pushing and shoving fight over line breaking. Its all in good fun though.
Its finally dry after all this rain we have gotten so Nick needed to stay and work in the field to get caught up planting. Its our lively hood and that's one of those things farmers have no choice but to do. Its all a gable so you have get to get it while you can. I've been slacking on family pictures so I made my non photographer Mom try and take a pic of the kids and I. My niece Piper wanted in and this Aunt never say No to her. She calls me Honey and I love that little girl and her brother like crazy. Beau was sick so my Sister n Law was at home with him. Hopes he get to feeling better.
With all the cold temps, cloudy rainy days none of us was used to this sunshine.
All the great grandkids ready to find them some eggs.
Rhett was on the hunt and he filled his basket full
