[@GeorgiaPeach87]

Christ is Risen!! Indeed, Christ is Risen! ✝️ Your dress is gorgeous!! I love the headbands too! Omg! The lamb was so cute!!!

[@SEGuest-fu2kr]

I love the headbands. They are very retro 💗. My head is shaped funny and headbands don’t stay on my head (even pinned). So, I am quick to admire when someone is wearing one. Love the sharing of your traditions.

[@cynthiacook7768]

Love the headbands!

[@janetlavoie2441]

I have done my eggs in the electronic pressure cooker for years...if anything happens to that cooker I will immediately replace it for the egg cooking if nothing else! Love having hardboiled eggs in the frig.

[@jaynebennett3401]

Tootsie Rolls are my absolute favorite candy! Keep them in my pocket and they get warm and chewy!😊

[@r.p.9829]

🙋

[@lanagraham1661]

I absolutely Love, Love, Love seeing your Easter celebration! Christ is Risen Indeed.🙌💞 I always look forward to your pinatas. Love seeing the grandbabies being their cute selves. You all looked great for Easter Sunday. Thank you so much for sharing this special vlog.💖💞

[@edwardleecaliforniausa]

Hi all good morning happy Thursday morning and I loved your vlogs and you are amazing Supporter and I'm proud of all of you

[@jojo-tz2ym]

Weather has been beautiful this week in Missouri. Sunshine and 70s. Glad you had good Easter. Marie sure is changing. She is beautiful and sweet.

[@barbarajobmann5541]

Your lamb is just so cute and your dinner table looks lovely.

[@kimvoorhis4481]

Christ is risen indeed! Thanks for posting!

[@janetennis3451]

Apple crisp. I do not use flour. I use oatmeal, butter, brown sugar, cinnamon and dash salt for the topping. I sometimes add walnut and raisin or cranberries to the apple crisp. I love that you use your apple peeler/ slicer for the crisp. That is so efficient. Your cookie scoop is 1 oz. It is a #30 scoop. Happy Easter

[@cynthiaannblaha5127]

FYI. Mashed potatoes in the pressure cooker are amazing! We made them once that way and now that is the only way I cook them. They cook quickly, about 5-6 minutes, and don’t boil over on the stove, which is always a plus. You used less water and most of it absorbs so the flavor stays in. Try it next time you make mashed potatoes. Joe and Peter looked so handsome! Both your dress and Maria’s were very pretty! I am from Michigan so dressing for Easter is always a problem because most of the time it is cold!

[@dawnmontoya4444]

And instead of water, use chicken broth and it tastes wonderful to just leave that little bit in.

[@beverleypicard2116]

Everyone looked so good , I love your dress with the white Jean jacket ,very pretty .

[@cindysandhu7281]

Hi Jennifer...I loved your Easter video. All your food looked amazing. You're kids are so helpful and it's awesome that they love cooking and baking as much as they do.

Christ is Risen! Looks like you guys had a blessed Easter. Everything looked delicious as always and I loved the lamb rolls.

[@beverleypicard2116]

I love both of Your headbands , they are very pretty . Lol

[@heatherlavender8236]

It's okay, we realized we had bedbugs in our couch Easter Sunday, so this has been a crazy week with clearing our house so the professionals can treat it all for them. They do it every two weeks for a month or so till they know they are gone and their babies and eggs so it's a hard tedious job. At least we have a nice thorough spring cleaning and maybe even washing the carpets when it's all done. Thanks for sharing, I really love all you're channel and family life and have a blessed day!

[@acountrylife]

I hope it’s a quick and speedy riddance of those pesky bugs.

[@heatherlavender8236]

Yes, I hope so too. It's taking the longest to pack everything up and bring them outside, just to have them treat the whole house. Then put the stuff back, so we shall see how it goes? Thanks and have a blessed day!

[@sissyhughes7671]

What a wonderful video! Thank you so much for taking time out to film and share with us!

[@madelinechriston8970]

Hi Jennifer. Oh my heart is with you! I know how it feels to be overwhelmed in the kitchen. It's times like that when I feel I can't breathe. Thank goodness you have wonderful kids that help you. I'm not too lucky in that area. Sometimes I just leave some things to tackle for the next day.❤

[@l.elizabethb.361]

Nice ! Look at that cranberry sauce ! Very impressive.

[@debgordon6542]

Yay, all my favorite things: Tina's Coleslaw Salad, Eska, egg hunt & pinata, Easter outfits, the Grands, and the Brockman family! Indeed!

[@evanorvell8368]

Wish I'd seen the lamb rolls before our Easter lunch! It turned out so cute!

[@stephaniecamplin9212]

Everything looked scrumptious! As everything you show always looks great. Your beautiful grandbabies have gotten so big! And just so precious 💕 Absolutely loved your dress as well as Maria's! And Joe wearing the shorts with boots was so hilarious, but cute! And indeed Christ Has RISEN. Just loved hearing the kids say that.

[@whitneydial8847]

I love your headband! Happy Easter! 🥚 🐣 Everyone looks very handsome and pretty all dressed up!

[@acountrylife]

Thank you 🤗

[@rachelaaroen2186]

Everyone's outfit looked great! So nice to get a glimpse of Amber and Eska. The Easter paper plates are so cute. How are Sugar and the kittens?

[@flossysmartt]

Happy Easter and she was answering someone's questions about washing ziplock bags which I do also but it's her kitchen and what she does she knows it isn't for everyone so God bless you 😊

[@megm4940]

I love the headbands & Easter dress with that Jean jacket! They’re so cute! Easter looked wonderful!

[@acountrylife]

Thank you! 🤗

[@donnaconnolly2474]

[@yvettegerry9862]

Everything looks delicious . I always feel like every flat surface in the house has something piled on it drives me nuts , so I’m going to start purging “stuff “ ! Like the headbands. Your dress 👗 is so cute you all look very spiffy . Fun video thank you for sharing 🌟🙏🌟

[@donnastratton8397]

Love those bunny plates. And the lamb rolls look great!

[@acountrylife]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@teresakeith5539]

Not an avocado burger but a favorite in my small hometown at the "ChuckWagon" drive in was a potato burger! They put a crispy potato hash brown patty( like Peter loves!) in between the burger and cheese! Delicious!

[@acountrylife]

Oh we would love that so much.

[@kelliejackson1191]

Maria and you look pretty for Easter and the boys looked handsome. All of your food for the festivities looked delicious! Fun weekend!

[@acountrylife]

Thank you so much 🤗

[@susnorth40]

Don’t sweat the small stuff. Trust me.❤

[@beckymiller2185]

Tiffany from large family love says longer for fresh eggs in the insta pot. ❤❤❤❤❤ I always love your videos. You all look awesome.

[@COWELLGIRL]

Love your and Warren's little impromptu dates. When the hubby use to want to go look for turkey signs it was code for Let's get out from the kids for a few minutes and do some kissing and hugging haha

[@waxman262]

I couldn't help but notice that tractor with a bucket on it behind you when you were chopping on that snow lol

[@acountrylife]

That’s what Warren said, too. He said I should’ve asked and he would’ve removed it for me. Good exercise though.

[@dawnmontoya4444]

We use the spray that unwrinkles your clothes. It takes some smoothing and tugging, but it works great. For that snow pile (I'm from NM so be gentle, our snow melts 20 minutes after it falls) could tou have put some hot water on it to make it soft enough to shovel.

[@acountrylife]

It would’ve taken a lot of hot water and I wouldn’t of had the chance to get my frustrations out 🤣

[@mikec7160]

Your dress and jacket was beautiful and the children looked so nice thank you for sharing

[@shirleywarner8831]

Really great looking food. I do cranberry relish everyone's outfit looked nice.

[@staceyberg1913]

I take a shovel also to spread the snow pile around so it melts faster. I was even thinking of doing it today. We have so many snow piles still. I'm up by Menomonie, WI.

[@acountrylife]

I hope this warm, almost hot, weather has melted the piles.

[@jennawinkelman8260]

Your dress was beautiful!

[@kristenschnese6980]

Looks like you had a Great Easter Wasn’t the weather wonderful? We just zoomed close by go where you live on 10 west on our way to Black River. I don’t realize there was so many Amish farms up that was they are everywhere now in WI love your videos saw some wild turkeys off of 10 they were young ones though cute outfits for everyone cute desserts

[@thevikmanstorpkitchen.403]

I love appelcake. I often make a batter with butter, syrup( not mapel its from the sugercanes, dont know if u have it in the US) cream, oats and baking powder. It gets a crackeling top..im from Sweden and this is a very popular appelcake in Sweden.

[@mariakoufalis1487]

Our Greek Orthodox Easter is this weekend. Thursday (today) is traditionally the day for dying eggs red. Once translated we also say, Christ has risen, truly He has. On Easter Sunday we each take an egg and go up to someone saying ‘Christ has Risen’ while tapping their egg. They reply with ‘truly He has’. Whoever has an untracked egg or the least cracks is declared the winner.

[@acountrylife]

What a neat tradition. Thanks for sharing.

[@juttakasapis6408]

I know its going to be a good video. Sad part it, I have to save it for later

[@christieflesch3750]

Love your dress

[@soozeesg]

I'm guessing that your ice pile is probably gone! I'm in Manitowoc and we were in the 80's today. The plowed pile was about 6ft last week and is gone now! Happy Easter And Happy Spring

[@vickihill4777]

That dress looks really nice on you

[@susanholcomb]

My husband is diabetic and hasn't been able to have cranberry sauce for a very long time. Watching your channel inspired me to try to make sugar free cranberry sauce. I bought and froze a few bags of fresh cranberries at Christmastime. My attempt came out more like cranberry syrup, but he loves it anyway.

[@acountrylife]

As long as he likes it, right?

[@teresamessick2297]

The weather this year here been up and down. Cause my son cabbage to bolt instead of head. So I been harvesting the shoots and cooking them. But lost sale for him.

[@Scorpio_Song]

The lamb bread🥰

[@rachalnocchi5600]

That was a very pretty spring dress! All those yummy foods, what a fantastic Easter you guys had!❤🐑🐇🐣

[@irasemabiggs6434]

Hi Jennifer, We also are a catholic family and enjoy your videos. Love your recipes. You look so pretty. Where do you get the hair they look real nice on you and Maria. Would love to get them for my daughter. Blessings of good health. 💗💗💗

[@SchnauzerMom]

I like the headbands! Where did you find them?
