We only have Easter lambies around here! These two lambs became the starring attraction at Nana's (that would be me) this year. Forget about that Easter egg hunt! They all just wanted to hold the lambs. Due to some unusual circumstances, I ended up with two bottle babies in the house during Easter weekend and it turned out to be a really fun thing for the grandkids. We always have the whole family here for Easter and have a tradition of taking pictures of each family group seated on a huge rock that marks the family cemetery of former owners of the farm. This year, every family group picture included the lambs! The lambs seemed to love all the attention, but they were some tired babies at the end of the day!
Besides having the whole family here for Easter Sunday, we had a productive weekend in the lambing barn. There were four sets of twins and one set of triplets born. We now have 17 lambs on the ground......8 ewe lambs and 9 ram lambs. There will be a little break in the action now and then we should finish up with the last four ewes lambing next weekend.

Very stylish lambs, those, in their Fair Isle sweaters!
ReplyDeleteWhat? You mean to say your lambs don't wear Fair Isle? As sorry as I was to have to quit wearing that sweater(on account of moth holes-ack!), I was glad to be able to cut off the sleeves for these babies!
ReplyDeleteThe sweaters are too-o-o cute! What precious lambs and very good models.
ReplyDeleteEaster egg....lamb. Easter egg...lamb. DUH! No contest! I would pick the lambs too! Are these - or any of the others mentioned from your 'basketball' girl? Was it twins or triplets for her?
ReplyDeleteI sure hope somebody brings some of these adorable lambs to the fiber festival next month, so I can get my fix too.
As usual, it's all about the accessories! Easter lambs are cute; Easter lambs in sweaters are irresistible!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the first photo, and would like to hear how you made the lamb sweaters out of one of your old ones (thought it looked AWEFULLY indulgent to be knitting them fair isle!). Babies are sooo much fun this time of year and can't wait until OUR lamb or lambs are born at your place this weekend!
ReplyDeleteOh my!
ReplyDeleteActually, my first thought was that in the middle of everything else you'd made a couple of Kristin's sweaters...and that I was never speaking to you again. Toooo cute!!!
That definitely sounds like the Easter family gathering of all time! Family AND new lambies - wow!

Oooooah, I love these pictures :0)
ReplyDeleteDeb-I am planning to bring some lambs to the Fiber Fest, but they won't be quite this small. My last ones are due to lamb this weekend, so that will make them a little over a month old---still pretty cute!
