Ree Drummond and her family had Easter at her late in-laws, Chuck and Nan's home "the way it's always been," with a few tweaks. The menu was cut down to biscuits and gravy, but the paper plates really put a smile on the TV host's face.

As much as they all missed Easter-loving Chuck and Nan, Ree Drummond was grateful to have their "big, wacky crew" together. In pastel pink bunny ears, eldest Alex Drummond Scott was seen helping her mom and sister Paige Drummond with the gravy in a post from Easter Sunday.

The entire Drummond tribe, including Paige's boyfriend, Mitchell Adams, and Alex's husband, Mauricio Scott, posed for a priceless group photo on the stoop. In the following picture, Betsy Smith, Ree's little sister, smiled with the Drummond ladies.

Mauricio also donned bunny ears for his Easter activity, arm wrestling with Ree and Ladd Drummond's foster son Jamar Goff. "All we ever do as a family is a fight, wrestle, compete, and eat," the "Pioneer Woman" host captioned the update on Monday, punctuated with a laughing-crying emoji.

The Food Network star gently prepared for her empty nest.

Last Easter, her third child and eldest son, Byrce Drummond, saved the holiday by taking the 30 lb turkey from the oven, a far cry from the simplified spread of this year.

Ree Drummond Kept Zooming in on Todd's Eyelashes

While Alex and Paige were home-schooled before heading to college and pledging at sororities, their two brothers experienced some high school where they excelled in football. Ree mentioned their foster child Jamar for the first time in her 2020 book "Frontier Follies."

Due to social media restrictions by the state agency, she could not mention him on social media or elsewhere until he was 18. As an "inextricable part" of the family, she was happy to now write about Jamar, and he also appreciated being included.

The Food Network star gently prepared for her empty nest in the lead-up to her youngest, Todd Drummond's departure to college in South Dakota. She explained that she and Ladd Drummond are setting new routines like hiking, which even her husband could justify because they picked up trash along the way.

The first week of January, the couple packed Todd's life in their car and left the ranch for South Dakota. In the emotional update of two photos of each parent hugging their offspring at his new school, Ree Drummond wrote, " We couldn't love him more. I keep zooming in on his eyelashes in the first pic...
