from the desk of tara hope…

mom decided to throw an easter party at the farm, and it was a great idea! i think everyone had a really good time. it was nice to get everyone together and just relax and enjoy the beautiful day…

chris cooked up a ton of beef and chicken kebabs from the meat house…

we sort of ran with the kebab theme and made caprese skewers and rainbow fruit skewers…

herb and fruit infused waters…

we set the tables out on the lawn to enjoy the beautiful sunshine…

before lunch of course we had to have a little photo shoot…that got a bit silly.

we gave everyone easter baskets, and in them were some silly bunny glasses that were pretty hilarious. none of the boys would wear them but the girls had lots of fun using them for props!

correction…uncle clarence put his glasses on. of course.

after lunch the “kids” changed into play clothes to play a few games on the wiffle ball field… i didnt play of course- i took pictures, but i am glad i did because these are some of my favorite photos ever…

matt slid into home…and then kept sliding…or maybe he was catching a ball. all i know is he came flying into the spectator section!

at bat…

i love these next photos so much i cant even stand it. these two just make me smile…

i think we had as much fun watching as they did playing…

dad giving uncle rick and mikko a ride to the field…

for dessert we had a beautiful ‘francis cake’ decorated for my birthday. she has decorated every birthday cake since i was one. she always does an amazing job and this years was no exception. love the cherry blossoms!…

we had such a good time that sunday, i love celebrating with family and friends!
