Easter! Praise the Lord!

What a fun Easter weekend we did have! Nana came to visit and help out on Wednesday since Daddy was at the Masters Golf Tourn. in Augusta for the week. (Poor Sid) We had gorgeous weather and spent lots of time outside. Grandma gave Grace and Isaac this choo choo for Christmas. It is great fun to drive around and take our tiny Easter bunnies and baskets for a drive.
Seriously, my kids love to take their shoes on and off. Part of the problem is that I never wear shoes but like for them to wear shoes when outside. Then I will walk out with no shoes and then off come theirs. I realize I am not setting a great example- but can't they do as I say...rather than as I do??

Isaac, at almost 17months is finally warming up to his Nana. Nana has been very patient.


Even though he is giving the baby a bottle, he is doing it in the tunnel so he can wrestle daddy if necessary. Boys!

We went to a fabulous Easter celebration hosted by a local church where some good friends of ours are neighbors. In this photo are sisters Macon and Addie, sisters Kennedy and Ryen and Grace and Isaac.

The little guys got to hunt first. Isaac always has time for the ladies.


And then it's back to business.

He started to pick up pace and I think he may have found more eggs than his big sister!


He didn't realize the eggs had candy in them until after the hunt. Good thing as he has a serious sweet tooth- like his mother!
And now it's time for the 3 and 4 yr olds. Grace and I bolted for the far end of the field thinking she could make a clean sweep.

Oh here's one!

And another....



And then she spent most of her time opening her eggs to check out if the candy was something she wanted. Whatever works!

Pierce and Grace compare baskets...Pierce won.

Me and the kids. For short hair- it is pretty big. I may need to change shampoos or something.


You would think we were harming our children to take their photo.

Nana and Grace after church on Easter Sunday.

Isaac and Grace stare in awe at their Easter Bunny Loot. Isaac got a lawnmower that blows bubbles.

The kids both got real kid-size gardening tools- shovels, rakes, pails, etc and they love them!

Grace got the Sleeping Beauty DVD and the Spinning paint table that we all had as children. The DVD was her favorite by far.
