easter at the kemps!

So it was a veritable mini-family reunion, as we had representatives of 3 / 4 of the branches of the Kemp clan at Jimmy & Susan Kemp's house this past Sunday for Easter.  Jacqui Kemp, Claire & I headed over to dinner with Jimmy, Susan, the 4 boys, Jack & Joanne.  

It was wonderful!  We got a tour of the playroom (which, incidentally, we are all jealous of), played with some Lego and Brio, and headed outside, armed with bubbles, mini basketballs, and some baseball equipment.

Here's Jacqui & Tommy:

Here's Claire pitching to the intrepid batsman...action shot!

Meanwhile, Susan showed Marco & Jonah how to make resurrection rolls -- marshmallows (Jesus) dipped in butter (anointing oil) then cinnamon-sugar (spices) then wrapped in roll-dough (tomb), which, when baked, the marshmallow disappears!   It was fun to watch, and the rolls disappeared just as quickly as the marshmallows!

Dinner itself was delicious too, and after-dinner consisted of watching Tommy look incredibly pleased with himself while he sat on the couch, and Jacqui's announcement that she was interning at the DNC!  

Shock, horror! -- only kidding, of course.  It sounds fantastic!  We're excited too, since she's seeing everything from the inside during an election year.   

All in all, lots of fun, especially since we had 2 Hummels for the price of 1 -- Claire being in town for her spring break! 

Hope everyone else had a lovely Easter & hope to see you soon!
