Easter Came and Went!

The Evans Family held their Easter Festivities on the Saturday before Easter. We had the traditional dinner of pink chicken (ham), scalloped potatoes, rolls, salad, and of course green bean casserole and yummy deserts.


After dinner the fun began with the hunting of the eggs. Everyone got their baskets/buckets and began the search.


Checking out the picture Auntie Aubs got of the kids.



More searching


still more searching


Kayda was the winner of the Golden Egg!

Updates

Back to blogging and getting up to date. We had the two grandbabies in February and with those two new additions we decided to give the old homestead a cosmetic facelift. Afer looking at a bizillion paint samples and going back and forth and look what we came up with...almost looks the same. However, the main color is a silver/light grayish blueish white, the trim is a darker blue, but the big change is...the doors are red!
In the middle of March I got to go back to New York to help Stephanie out with her boys while Travis went to Tonga for an internship. What a great trip that was. I got to play with Collin and hold the new baby to my hearts content. It was so fun to be with Stephanie and the boys. (I will add those pitures later.)


While I was gone my wonderful husband got busy and finished up the bathroom in the basement that has been in a state of remodeling for a year and surprised me with redoing our bathroom. What a great guy I married.



New potty for my bathroom

along with new tile everywhere!


New light fixtures for the basement bathroom



and also new tile everywhere for this bathroom. How easy to clean up after little grandsons when they come to visit.
