Pre Easter Celebration with the Lathrops

We live 30 minutes apart and don't see each other nearly enough.  Busy schedules on both sides.  We were invited for a home cooked meal at the Lathrop Restaurant on Friday night.  When we pulled up Lucy was sitting on top of the Roy's dog house.  She had a very serious look on her face.  Maybe we were taking to long to get there?   
 Layne is getting so grown up.  7th grade and an honor student.  She is running for an office at school.
 Love coming to visit this place!


 Justin the master chef along with Kristin!! Hamburgers and fancy hot dogs!
 Before dinner Layne walked around the table and announced exactly where we were all sitting.  She made little place card out of lined paper for us with our names on them.  This was all done before we got there.  Mike started dinner with a prayer of thanks for our family and for Jesus! He has risen!

 These were placed on the plates so we knew exactly where to sit.  Layne really planned this out.
 After dinner was the traditional egg coloring.
We got this for Lucy for Easter.  I hope her mom and Layne help her read it.  Layne got an Easter gift too.

 I think Layne is wondering what is wrong with her mom.

 Lucy put a cross on her egg.
 Kristin and I made a Jesus egg.
While we were coloring eggs Justin and Mike were deep in conversation!  Mike didn't even notice we colored eggs.  He asked when we did it.
 Preciousness!

The silver egg hunt.  I don't remember having a special egg with a surprise in it when I hunted for eggs.  I think most of our eggs were hard boiled not plastic.  I could be wrong.  That was a long time ago.
 Success!



Oh, this girl.  Pie and a hot dog for dessert!
 These girls have some serious skills.

 Let the dancing begin.  This is a regular event at the Lathrop house!  Justin started the music and we started dancing.  So much fun.  Blurry pictures are OK.  We were moving and shaking!  Especially Layne and Lucy!

 And the cup song!
 The cup song with no cups!


 The hair came out of the ponytail so it could fly around!




 Teaching Lucy some old dance moves!



What's next?  The Monkey in the Middle.  Keep away with three.  Layne, Lucy and Grandpa Mike!

I think Grandpa Mike is going to get this one.  Someone else is going to have to be the Monkey in the Middle.

Checking out one more video before it is time to go home.  We had such a great night.  Good ol' fashion family fun!  Times like these are precious!  I can't wait until next time!
