Happy Easter!

Alan had Good Friday off, so we headed to Texarkana Thursday evening to spend Easter weekend with my parents and grandparents. We didn't get in until about 11:30, and the kids didn't go to bed until 1-1:30... Gotta love getting a second wind after sleeping in the car. :)

Friday, David got his first "big boy" hair cut, and we went to lunch and out shopping for some meat. Unfortunately, the weekend before our freezer thawed out while we were out of town... It was still locked but for some reason it didn't seal well so we lost EVERYTHING in the freezer. I was soooo upset! Luckily my parents got us some meat so we can slowly begin stocking our freezer again.

Saturday, Alan and my dad headed out to do some work on some land, and Mom, the kids, and I went shopping for Easter shoes! We found some precious ones, and Miss E didn't want to take hers off! My grandparents came over for a yummy steak dinner and we all got ready for Easter morning.

We woke up bright and early Easter morning! We got the kids ready for church then headed to see what the Easter bunny brought the kids.

After church (we went to the early service), we came home, got lunch in the oven, then went to hunt the eggs the Easter bunny left. David's basket is almost as big as he is! ;) They both loved finding the eggs! I wish I could have recorded David's reactions when he found eggs. He made this adorable noise and would start shaking the eggs right away! After a while, instead of putting them in the basket, he'd open them to see what goodies were inside. Elizabeth was a true pro and found so many eggs! Next year will be even more fun when we can really hide them. 

After we hunted eggs outside, we went inside to find a special egg that my grandparents filled! It took a bit more time for the kids to find these, but once they did, they were so excited!

We headed back to College Station after we ate lunch, and the kids napped more than halfway home! Elizabeth woke up once, said something really random, then passed back out again for about 45 minutes. This never happens! All in all, we had a great weekend and look forward to seeing everyone again soon!
