Easter 2009

We had a wonderful Easter weekend full of family activities. Saturday was Avery's 2nd birthday party. The kids hunted eggs there, which turned out to be a very good thing since Sunday was so cold and rainy.

About 9:45 that night, we decided to quickly dye some Easter eggs.
The kids choir at church sang two songs that were so awesome! It brings tears to my eyes to watch Kamdyn up there singing sometimes. Here she is before the boys moved in front of her and blocked my view. This is also probably the only full length shot I got of her all day long.
After church at Mimi's... she really looked grown up to me this day!
The men in my life...
We always take pictures on Easter after church but it just wasn't meant to be this day. Someone was always pouting or crying... and what is up with that stray comb over on my forehead????Here are the "greats" at Mamaw's after church... Madison, Gavin, Braxton, Kylie, and Kamryn were missing. It is impossible to get a picture where everyone is looking the same direction.
This is Papaw and his Easter hat, which won first place at the Senior Center. The bunny sings and hops with the press of a button and there is an Easter basket on the back that you can't see.
We had a surprise visit from the Easter Bunny, who came loaded with treat buckets for all the kids.Mimi and the Easter Bunny....
Cooper was unsure about the Easter Bunny at first. He actually hid behind the table and did his scared face at first, but he finally decided the bunny was harmless (and she had treats that he had to claim!). Kamdyn, on the other hand, stayed in the living room the entire time the bunny was there.
I am so thankful for what Easter really means... we had a wonderful day celebrating the Risen Savior!
