Easter in Chicago

We ended the week with a visit to the family in Chicago. Grandma Chris had us all over for Easter. We all told stories about Papa, and admired his collections, while we ate good food and enjoyed each other's company. Here, Papa Dave dances to Papa's 8-tracks with Hunter.

Hunter eats chocolate ice cream, and makes the normal mess.

And with Dave...




So good to see the family together smiling and enjoying each other. Nice to be surrounded with all things "Papa" again, too. Lots of wonderful food, and just a nice time.

We spent the night at Aunt Di and Uncle Tom's and then went shopping a bit the next day. I drove the kids and Laura home while Theo drove the family to the airport in Chicago and then headed home. I drove home to a small snowstorm just over our town. I had to get out the camera (which was on the seat beside me) and take a picture of this wall of snow!


Hope you all had a wonderful Easter, too!
