Easter Weekend

We had one fun Easter weekend this year. On Friday, my amazing mother took me and my sister out for our birthdays. Our birthdays are in April exactly one week apart. Each year we always get to choose what special thing we want to do for our birthday. Birthdays are the best in our family! Very important days! So, this year we decided to spend the day shopping! We ate some delicious food and shopped the day away in Hendersonville! We had a whole day just us three with no distractions, no boys, and no babies! I can't remember the last time that's happened! It was a total blast!
Saturday our family had our first annual Easter egg hunt! With the sudden addition of 6 children in the past two years, we thought it would be necessary to hunt some eggs for some good traditional fun! It was a blast seeing these cuties walk around and "hunt" together! They are all so adorable in their own way! Their personalities are too fun! I took a ton of pictures of this event, so I'll try to shorten it to just a "few" I can't help myself!
We hunted eggs, they got all kinds of prizes, we colored eggs, ate ice cream, sandwiches, enjoyed snacks, and the company of the whole family being together again! It was so much fun that I can't wait until next year!
This Easter Sunday morning the Easter bunny showed up and brought us some yummy stuff! We had an amazing service at church! It was so nice to get to worship our Savior who paid it all for us! Afterwards, we celebrated as a family at my parents house! We enjoyed a huge, delicious lunch, hunted more eggs, and relaxed on the front porch. I just LOVE my parents home. It's where we were all raised. To come back there on such important days makes it so special. We made memories there, and we are blessed to continue to make even more as our family grows!
