Jerry, Matthew and I felt very fortunate to enjoy our Easter with 2 dear families this year. Our first destination was down in San Diego at my aunt and uncle’s house. Both my cousin Greg and my Aunt Lou and Uncle Jim’s house sit high up on a hill top with views one could only dream of seeing on a daily basis. We loved spending time with them as well as my cousins, their wives, along with their children and one of their boyfriends thrown in for good measure.
L to R -Greg (Patty’s cousin and Lou and Jim’s oldest son) Amy’s boyfriend, Uncle Jim (I sure love this guy!), our youngest son Matthew, my sweet hubby Jerry, and last yet not least by any means my cousin John (Lou and Jim’s youngest son).

L to R -Lauren (Greg and Doreen’s youngest daughter), Doreen (Greg’s kind and funny wife!), Sylvia (John’s super sweet wife), Aunt Lou (smart and big of heart), me (looking chunky and older than I’d like), and Amy (John and Sylvia’s daughter).

Following an awesome feast and visit with my family in San Diego, Jerry, Matt, and I headed back to Mission Viejo, where Matt collected Ms Yuki who been waiting patiently for our return, and headed back to his place. Once Matt and Ms Yuki were on their way home Jerry and I headed over to our long time friends Steve and Jill. A delicious dinner was enjoyed at their house, followed by a small celebration for their youngest son Alex’s 22nd birthday!

It’s hard to believe Alex is 22 years old. Jill, Steve, Jerry and I have been celebrating our children’s birthday’s together since Alex and Patrick were wee little folk! Up next for a birthday celebration? Matt in June, who will turn 28! Yikes!
