This is the group that we had over for Easter Sunday after church. It's kind of a long story but here goes... Last year in January we had our American friends from Kaiserslautern come visit us for the weekend. Kurt and April Andreason and their 5 kids - they are the couple standing next to us in the picture. April and I were talking and come to find out that she grew up with Troy Bankhead who is in our ward. Nancy and Troy Bankhead are standing next to the Andreasons in the picture (with 3 kids). We thought it would be fun to have the Andreasons over one weekend and then invite the Bankheads to surprise Troy. But we never got around to it. This year April's brother Clark (next to Troy in picture) and family were planning a visit to Europe and he wanted to make sure to see Troy. It just worked out that in their trip, the day to get together was Easter Sunday. The Bankhead live in Belgium, about a half hour away, and the Andreasons live about 1.5 hours the other way in Germany. Everyone came to church and then our house was the meeting place in between. So we had 8 adults and 16 children (one of Clark's is missing in picture) and everything turned out great. Everyone got to 'catch up.'

It's a small world too because Troy Bankhead served in Marion and Bryan's mission around the same time as they did.

That was Easter Sunday at our house.
