Easter 2012

Easter was all about TRADITION this year! I'm talkin' tradition from back when me and my sisters were little ones.

Since we are still up in Hillsboro we came down for a busy weekend filled with fun! We colored eggs Saturday night at Ginny and Poppy's house and the munchkins thought it was pretty cool. They may not have been the most beautiful eggs but I thought they were great! It was the first year they actually sat at the table together and finished them. And aside from a few broken eggs (on Emma's part) everything went perfect! I love that they are getting to an age where they can participate in fun little activities and enjoy it. Oh, and we can't forget... they left our carrots for the Easter bunny :)

Sunday was such a perfect day, sunny and warm. The kids spent the morning playing and tromping around the yard while Chris and Poppy did yard work and 4 wheeler rides and my mom and I cooked, cooked and cooked! After nap time Emma couldn't stand the thought of wearing her cute little dress (she liked her dirty sweatpants better and who could blame her?) so we compromised... she wore the dress if she could wear her muddy old rain boots. Once the clan arrived we had a giant Easter egg hunt and stuffed ourselves with every one's yummy food! Then my dad and Chris set up the pinata... it was so cool because I remember my Grandpa Roy setting up a pinata every Easter and it was always so fun to bust that thing open with all my cousins :) This year we started the tradition with our kids and their cousins! It was AWESOME! We ended our fun day by playing the Wii and watched the kids cruise around on the Gator.

Happy Easter! He Lives <3
