Weekending

April 2, 2018 By Carole

It was another whirlwind weekend of fun, campaigning and more. I think the pictures tell the story best.

Friday night snacks. You know the drill. My niece Megan pointed out that my napkin game was on point as usual.

Saturday sign holding with just one week to go until the election. We had an awesome group of volunteers and for the first time it was not freezing cold for our stand out! Also, the Easter Bunny is Team Julius.

In the afternoon I did door-to-door campaigning and in the evening we had a great dinner of Thai food with friends. It was so nice to relax and have some fun.

The star of the weekend was Easter Sunday, of course.

Some of my favorite people in the whole world were gathered around our table.

The food was fabulous, of course, from mimosas and shrimp cocktail, to the ham with scalloped potatoes and fresh vegetables, to the desserts of carrot cake and apricot tarts. We indulged all afternoon!

Jack got passed around and smiled obligingly for all of us. He’s such a good natured little guy and his smile fills us all with happiness.

I love this picture of Hannah and I and Doreen and Alex so much. Hannah is Doreen’s goddaughter and Alex is my godson and I think the last time we took a photo of the four of us was at Hannah’s baptism nearly 26 years ago!

As I said to Dale when we sat down to dinner, my home and my heart are full.

How was your weekend?

    Also full and as fun as can be (Passover AND Easter) with family and friends and delicious traditional foods. And, the snow has finally melted!

    You have started a trend—we’re all going with a request for a Jack smile. What a cutie. Nice going with the campaigning!

    What a wonderful weekend! Little Jack is just a happy-sunshine kind of baby. And I love that photo of you and Doreen and the god-kids. A full heart is GOOD. XO

    Wonderful, Carole! Your Easter dinner looks fabulous – I’m sure I would’ve been full, but those little flower cookies might’ve tempted me to try “just one”! Hoping for blue skies on up to election day (but ugh, I see Mother Nature pays no attention to me). You’ve GOT THIS ONE!!

    Well, if you had started the post with the last comment, you could have avoided saying anything else. It doesn’t get any better than a full house and a full heart. Jackie must be goodnatured to smile while being passes around like a bag of potatoes, but that’s what babies are for! As usual, a great weekend at your house.

    You had a lovely weekend! Jack is such a cutie! Best of luck in the election.

    I got to see my great niece for the first time since my shingles diagnosis about 3 weeks ago. She’s around 6 weeks now and so cute.
