Easter Weekend 2014

What beautiful weather we have been having in Mississippi finally!  Easter was a little later than normal this year and we were SO glad for the warm weather and sunny days that we could spend outside!  On Good Friday, we were "EGGED" by some of our sweet friends!  Grady and Vera found this note in the mailbox and 12 eggs hidden in the yard as a surprise...
Looking for the special egg...
 Sorry for the blurry camera phone picture...  Thought this was SUCH a neat idea and a great way to remind them about the real meaning of Easter.

On Saturday, we had a special Easter Bunny brunch at the Children's Museum.  Let's just say that TWO family members in the picture below were excited about meeting the bunny, but two were not...their parents had to hold on to them so they wouldn't run away!  ha!

At home, we dyed a few Easter eggs!  Grady was much more into this than last year!



 Grana made us a bunny cake...  so cute!  And yummy, too!  :)

On Sunday after church, we drove to Yazoo to spend the day!  Mom and Dad's azaleas were beautiful and in full bloom!  We decided to take some family pictures...always a fun experience with three dressed-up little kids who just want to change clothes and get dirty!  ha!  We managed to get a few shots in before they shed the Easter outfits!

 In the probably 50-something pictures Susan, Dad, and I took, there was not ONE of all three of them looking at the camera...  OF COURSE!  ha ha





 After lunch, Grady, Vera, and Will were chomping at the bit to hunt some eggs!  (Well, maybe Will wasn't exactly chomping at the bit...but he was SUCH a great little trooper and just wanted to do whatever his big cousins were doing!)  Grady was "Julie Junior" and was a complete egg swiper!
 Vera held her own, though!  Between her and Will, Gradyman will have some competition next year!  ha



 Playing in the bubble machine V. got from the Easter Bunny...

HAPPY EASTER!  Hope you and your family had a great day celebrating that HE IS RISEN!

Best Easter Ever.... I truly mean that :) (Missed you jenny...)
We are all so blessed!

P.S. Will said he's going to practice egg hunting extra hard in the 'off season' so he won't have to ask for assistance from his super generous cousin, Grady! ha! (I think Grady gave him half of the eggs in Will's basket! ha)

V... she loves Will but she wasn't interested in sharing eggs! haha :)

Love ya'll! :)

We got egged too! By Holly. So fun. I need to do that next year!

Love love love the pics! Such a fun bunch. And yes Susan, Will should definitely practice in the off season. We hunt eggs all the time. So much I'm sick of it!
