Happy Easter!!!

A surprise baby shower!
We all sang the lyrics to Elton John's
Blessed
Hey you, you're a child in my head
You haven't walked yet
Your first words have yet to be said
But I swear you'll be blessed

I know you're still just a dream
your eyes might be green
Or the bluest that I've ever seen
Anyway you'll be blessed

And you, you'll be blessed
You'll have the best
I promise you that
I'll pick a star from the sky
Pull your name from a hat
I promise you that, promise you that, promise you that
You'll be blessed

I need you before I'm too old
To have and to hold
To walk with you and watch you grow
And know that you're blessed
Our friend John Domont
played his ukulele
All of the kids gave us a gift

It was a sweet, sweet, wonderful surprise that Gigi planned!

Lisa (10), from Japan,
had never been on a hammock
&
LOVED it!
We then went outside
&
Johhny D played
&
we all sang songs
Soooo much fun!!!

Our front porch was made for this...

The girls on the hammock
Our crew
(my hair is sooo grey...)
Then we all decided to take a walk

&
feed the horses apples




Gigi decided to ride Q's Rasor home!!!
Here's to a Happy, Happy Easter!!!!
