Easter 2016

Hello friends! Wanted to share a few Easter pics before summer time..

The babes had a hat parade at school where they marched around the playground for family members to see.

It was a bit windy that day, but they loved it.

Carsyn's class had an Easter egg hunt the next day and I volunteered to hide the eggs.  168 eggs, 12 kids, 15 sugar cookies, and a whole lot of fun.

We made it to the mall to see the Easter bunny where we requested a Dale Jr t shirt, Miss Piggy doll, and a real unicorn.

We were happy with what he decided to bring us.

We hid and hunted eggs at Camp Rosie.

We made it to church Sunday morning.

And had lots of fun at Granny and Papaws house that evening.

Two happy little bunnies before bedtime.

Easter

I'm always far behind on posting events as they happen, but I figure I started this blog for memories sake so technically it doesn't really matter.

We had a wonderful Easter weekend celebrating with friends and family.

We went to Camp Rosie Saturday and hid eggs and had dinner with my mom and dad.

Both of the kiddos were really into hiding eggs this year.

Side note.  Apparently turkey hunting season coincides with Easter and Pops informed the boys they needed to show up in their camo Saturday.  Soooooo…they showed up like this.  Rosie was THRILLED.

We spent the night at my inlaws Saturday night and the kids were excited to find the Easter bunny had delivered their baskets Sunday morning.

We made it to my favorite church Sunday morning and I snapped a pic of our Easter Sunday stroll.

I think this is my favorite picture yet…….here's a few past..

We went back to my in laws for dinner Sunday afternoon.

My MIL is such a phenomenal person.  I love her so much and love what a special relationship she has with Carsyn.

The kids spent some time in Carsyn's playhouse and I finally got the answer to a question I had been wondering.  I thought perhaps the kids would use the space as a shared house, but Hank moved his trucks in and sister was having no part of it.

The still love each other 95% of the time though.

Gosh.  It was such a good day.  Really wishing I could freeze time now.

Bunnies and Eggs!

We've had a bust few days enjoying Easter festivities!

We took the kids to see the Easter bunny on Friday and Carsyn was super unimpressed. Hank? He thought the Easter bunny's buttons were delicious and proceeded to try to tear them off and off and put them in his mouth. So, yeah, I'm sure that bunny really looks forward to our next visit ;)

 I hated to be THAT mom pleading with her kid to sit on the scary bunny's lap so I gave up.  I had taken her in the Disney store to pick out something for the Easter bunny to bring her and she got so excited over Minnie flip flops and sunglasses- I really thought she'd march right up to that bunny and sit on his lap.  She squealed and waved and laughed but when she got within 5 feet she was terrified.  I explained 100 times she wasn't getting either of those things since she didn't tell the bunny, but daddy caved and got her the flip flops.

She was so excited but kept asking for her glasses.  We called the Easter bunny the whole way home and told him what a good girl Carsyn was and she was too afraid to sit on his lap so Saturday morning he brought her a little basket.  I just cannot punish her for being afraid, but I can't go back on my word either or I feel like I'll create a little spoiled brat.

BUT, she loves those glasses....she insisted on wearing them when we made our peep treats...and of course the same bunny dress from the day before.  Did I mention she slept in those flip flops that night?? She woke me up at 7:30 screaming "get these off my feet, they hurt!"  I went in her room tok them off and she said "thanks, I'm going back sleep now."Love her heart.



We got the kids dressed and attempted some family photos before heading to Easter dinner at mom and dad's.

Maddox came up to hide eggs and the kids had so much fun.

 Carsyn decided she would hide hers by herself at one point- I guess that makes them easier to find?

Its completely impossible to get these kids all smiling, but I know someday I'll love seeing the attempts.

..and attempts..

..and attempts..

We colored eggs when we got home Saturday night andI was completely surprised by how into it Carsyn was.  She waited patiently for them to turn the appropriate color and for mommy and daddy to fish them out.  Then she waited for them to dry to put stickers on them.

The baskets were assembled before the kids got up Sunday morning.

We made it to church after the kids went through their baskets and poor little Hank got super fussy.  I hate that holidays just wear my kids out.  Hank is finally a great napper at home and in a crib but he's just not one of those babies that you can rock to sleep.  I think they were both happy to get to W's papaws.

   

Carsyn really enjoyed spending time with her cousins, Payton and Chloe and helping Auntie hide eggs!

Hope y'all had a wonderful Easter!

We started Easter morning going through the Easter basket the bunny left for Carsyn. As enthralled as she was by everything it lasted about 5 minutes. She did eat an entire peanut butter egg for breakfast though. And that made church super fun :)

 

 

 

 

 

After church we went to my in laws and my mom and dads to hunt eggs and eat dinner with our families.
