Easter 2011 - In the Dorm!

We celebrated another holiday in the dorms!

:: Easter 2011 ::

There were about 50 of us who gathered in the basement
and enjoyed wonderful food, family & friends.

Uncle PeeWee
getting the old tapes ready to listen to...

Great Aunt Fran and Grandma Evenson chatting...

Our Happy Easter sign that the Clemen kids helped us decorate...

One of the tables -
Grace, Paige, Nora, Caitlyn, and Amelia...

Another table!
Claire, Aiden, Ryenne, Carly...

And another table!
Gavin, Uncle Gary, Pam, Auntie Barb...

And yet another [kid] table!
Brooke, William, Paige, Sophie, Maya...

A few going through the buffet line...

After lunch we had the big Clemen kids
[and Paige, Grace, & Joe]
hide about 200 eggs down on the tennis courts.
Here is part of the line up,
waiting for the green light!

We let the little ones go first.
Here is our neighbor and friend Ila with her mom
heading down the hill...

And the big kids are off and running!...

Miss Amelia...

Miss Sophie...

Mr. William...

Miss Claire...

The girls checking out their loot...

Sophie with one of her BFFs, Ally!

Cousin Blake and his mom!...

After the egg hunt it was time for desserts!
We celebrated the 'spring' birthdays...

I cut off Phillip!
But we got most - although I think a few did NOT jump in!
I know at least Great Grandma did not hop into the photo op!
But, Sophie has a fall b-day - so not sure how she got in there!

What a wonderful day!
We are so thankful that so many family & friends were able to join us.
The girls had a blast!
I hope they always remember the holidays in the dorm.
