Easter Blessings

We had some wonderful visitors yesterday, to brighten up our day, our eldest daughter Victoria and her little family.  It was so lovely to see them and we felt blessed to be able to join in with the obligatory egg hunt.





 
Wilbur thoroughly enjoyed himself and was very generous with his finds and more than willing to share.  The Easter bunny was very generous this year.
 
 
Hector was introduced to his Great Nanny and Grandad, they were overjoyed to meet him and couldn't stop smiling.  It was a real pleasure to see him with them, they were thrilled to see the boys.





We got lucky with the weather, although very cold and windy perfect for the activity in mind there was no rain yesterday.  We went down to the local beach with the kite singing Let's go fly a kite, Up to the highest height, Let's go fly a kite...





With a little teamwork, we managed to get it up quite high and for prolonged periods, we certainly had some fun with it.  Amazing how the old fashioned games are the most fun.

It was a short but very welcome visit.  Lunch was a traditional roast with all the trimmings and we also had a very large afternoon tea, with copious amounts of sweet treats and tea.  A wonderful day with lots of lovely moments.  Moments to cherish, memories made to treasure.  I felt truly blessed.

Hope you all had a wonderful Easter. 

See you soon.

    Children are a blessing and everybody should see joy and love in their eyes and nothing else.
    Have a lovely week !

    What a lovely day you had. How lovely to have little ones there to celebrate Easter with you, the egg hunts stopped long ago here and with no little ones they're just a distant memory. The weather hasn't been as bad here as I was expecting, we've had some rain but plenty of sunny spells too.

    Family moments are definitely the best, even if they are for only a short while. Lovely photos of your parents with the grandchildren, they are so joyful.

    What a fine celebratory day with the newest family member meeting great-grandparents. Very special. Looks like a pretty day, but a chilly one.

    It looks like you a wonderful Easter. I especially loved seeing the baby with his great-grandparents, what a lovely moment to capture. Kite-flying on Easter sounds wonderful too. I hope you have a good week!
