The weekend before Easter we dyed eggs. The kids really got into this time and were great helpers. Jackson impressed me by writing his name on his red egg. Red is his favorite color, so he was quite proud of himself.
We started on Friday at my aunt and uncle’s house for their Good Friday fish fry. The food was super yummy and the kids had a ball. They couldn’t wait for the big Easter egg hunt! Lots of eggs to hunt! Here's Jordan riding the horsie. Still going strong after 47 years!
Saturday was spent decorating Nana’s walls after she got many of her rooms painted. Then we went to Dana and Ryan’s for a crawfish boil. I must say the Kenny did a fantastic job on the crawfish. They were spicy, but not too spicy, and cooked perfectly!
The eggs that Nana gives the kids every year.
The Easter bunny came to Nana and Papa’s house Sunday morning. They hunted eggs yet again. The kids each got a swimsuit and a movie. I’m so happy to get some new movies. It will give me something new to listen to in the car.
After Church we headed to Grandma and Popo’s house for lunch. While we were there, we watched Brandon on the ESPN Top Ten Plays. What a proud moment.
Here's Jordan and Daddy after lunch. She was tuckered out already.
We had another great lunch with many great desserts, and the kids hunted eggs again. They also had a great time trying to break the piñata. There were just 3 little ones there (Julia, Jordan and Jack) so they each got a lot of swings. And they came home with lots of loot!
And Easter isn't Easter until the confetti eggs come out!!!
Needless to say, we were all exhausted on Monday morning, but we trudged thru school and work with smiling faces. We’re so lucky to have so much family close by. And we’re so grateful to be able to spend such special moments with the ones we love most.
