Hope your grandmother comes out of surgery ok! My MIL had a hysterectomy. Plus they had to tack up a few things in there. She is still having problems peeing and is hooked up to a catheter. Not fun for her. She told all the grandkids (6 of them) that her urine bag was her Easter Bag. LOL! She is pretty young still, 61.

To our family, religious holidays such as Christmas and Easter are mainly about being with family. I'm trying to teach my kids the true meaning of these holidays (Jesus's birth and dying for us), but I'm still trying to grasp these meanings myself. I mean, I believe but somehow I think that I'm just not getting the whole thing yet. I've yet to read the Bible (I'm trying, but Numbers is SO BORING!). So, our main focus is family and our love for our family. My family is far away, in Georgia (I'm in New Mexico, where we had SNOW for Easter!). But my husband and his dad were raised here. FIL has 5 siblings, most still here, and much of their families are here. They are a very close knit bunch. A small gathering is what most folks consider a reunion! LOL! We have alot of fun.
