Easter

Although I really LOVE holidays, they are so exhausting. A great time was had, but it left me pooped, and I'm still trying to recover!

We began the tradition of coloring eggs on the Friday before Easter. I actually forgot about the whole thing so I had to pack the kids up by my lonesome, head to Ingles, and buy some eggs! We didn't get too elaborate...nothing special at all. The kids liked it, though!




On Saturday, we had the egg hunt at the church. I had practiced with the kiddos in advance and I was 100% positive that they were ready. I. WAS. WRONG. What is it with kids and how they make liars out of you???!!!

Faith and Cameron were not interested. Mallory was somewhat so. Unfortunately, my camera died and I did not get many pictures at this outing...

They didn't want to hunt eggs, but they sure wanted to jump!

Hanging out with Daddy.
On Sunday, we raced to get ready for church. We made it right on time, and I was very proud. We snapped a few pictures of the fam together. We rarely get to do this.


After church, our first Easter feast was at Pat and YaYa's. Lunch was delicious and, it was then round two for egg hunting. I am very pleased to say that the kiddos did better...

...I said better! Cam still wasn't SUPER pumped about it.
Faith was ready to go, though! YAY, Faith!
I was so proud of little Mallory! She even picked up her own eggs and put them in the basket!
Cameron finally threw his bucket down, grabbed one egg at a time, opened it, put the candy in his pocket, and continued on. It was hilarious.
Then, it was time to head on down to MeMe and Poppy's....and another great meal. Round three of egg hunting continued to be a positive experience! YAY!
WOW, Faith!

Go, Mallory, Go!
Oh, and I almost forgot! The Easter bunny came to town, too!



So glad that we go to spend a wonderful holiday with wonderful family! It was a good day...just a little tiring!
