Easter Weekend - 2012

All the Knoxville families were here for Easter Dinner, except Trey, who was still at BYU.  But we  added my sister, Kathy, who was visiting from Seattle, WA.  :)

 Dinning Room table setting...................................

The DR table was full, the kitchen table was full, so Claire and Lydia got to have their very own table at the end of the island.

Barnsley Gardens getaway---celebrating Julie's 40th

I was lucky enough to be the mother of a daughter turning 40 who chose for her birthday gift from her husband to be a girls’ getaway to Barnsley Gardens in Georgia.  Julie is my third-born child and just turned 40.  Her husband, Allen, generously gave Julie an over-night getaway with her sisters and me.  Can’t thank Allen and Julie enough for a fantastic trip.  How often does one get to share in such a special gift?  Here are a few pictures.  The weather was perfect and Barnsley’s is gorgeous.  Good weather, good food, good company, and a beautiful setting. THANK YOU, Julie and Allen! Happy 40th Birthday Julie.
