Ree Drummondhad a wholesomeEasterat home!
On Sunday, thePioneer Womanstar, 55, filled her empty nest. Her five kids withhusband Ladd— Alex, 26, Paige, 23, Bryce, 21,Jamar, 21, andTodd, 19 — all celebrated the spring holiday on the Drummond ranch in Pawhuska, Oklahoma. Also there for the sweet gathering were Alex’s husbandMauricioand Paige’s boyfriend David.
In an Instagram post, Drummond shared a photo of the family of nine, showing several of them sporting various shades of pink to celebrate the early weeks of spring. The group’s dogs could be seen trying to get in on the family fun, too.
“The dogs are so generous, they made sure to let us know before we accidentally left them out of our family Easter photo,” she joked in the caption.
“The run-up to the big meal!” she captioned the sped-up clip, which showed everyone running in and out of frame as they did a variety of tasks around the kitchen.

She also shared some individual Story photos of each of her kids and their respective partners — along withone outtake of their group shotswhere Ladd can be seen creeping into the background of a photo of all the girls.
Last year, the cookbook author andher family had a low-key Easter. All five of her children were back home, and they opted for a more relaxed meal — served on paper plates!
“Easter at Chuck & Nan’s house, the way it’s always been. We miss them, they loved Easter,” Ree wrote on Instagram in memory ofLadd’s late fatherandmother.
“We skipped the ham and sides and wound up doing biscuits and gravy on paper plates,” she explained before joking, “Maybe paper plates are why I’m smiling in these pics? 😂.”

“Okay. I buried the lede. This is David. He’s Paige’s ‘friend.’ Not her friend, mind you,” Ree joked in the caption of a photo of the pair. “Her ‘friend.’ I won’t go into detail because that’s Paige’s place to do…but the smile on her face might give you some idea of how Paige feels about her new friend. I mean ‘friend.’ I mean, I’m going to stop writing this caption now!”

“David was only able to stay for the first three days, so on his last day, I went out to breakfast with him and Paige,” she wrote. “You’ll notice my plate was even more full than during my solo breakfast two days earlier. If you eat early in the day, the calories don’t count!!”
