Easter Festivities - Sunday

On Easter morning we got the girls up and had breakfast.  We had a couple LITTLE gifts for the girls...a board book for Emory and a book and a spring pattern game for Brynn.

We got ready and we were EARLY to church!  I couldn't wait to take a little family picture, but somebody wasn't feeling it...

Church was so good!  The place was full of people celebrating what Easter is all about.  It is hard to even fathom how much God loves us to send His One and Only Son to die for us.  But like we told the preschool Sunday School class we teach...the awesome thing is that the story doesn't end there!  Jesus rose again 3 days later, and like they kept saying..."HE'S ALIVE!"  =)

After church we headed to my moms house for a quick lunch.   Brynn was in a much better mood and we attempted some family pictures....

Ryan said Emory's bow was so big she probably couldn't hold her head up...HA!  They only came in one size! And I don't know if we ever got a really good family shot...but we attempted. =)

My sister tried to take some pictures of the girls.  I don't know how professional photographers do it...

Emory was SO interested in the grass...

My dad grilled burgers and brats and we ate outside.  It was SO NICE!

After eating and playing outside, we headed inside for some Easter basket treats!

We headed home for naps and then headed to Oran to my grandparents house.  Kelly and Jared and the boys weren't there because the boys were sick (boo!) so Brynn did a little egg hunt by herself.

Then my grandparents told us there was an adult Easter egg hunt in the front yard...even my parents and Uncle Bruce and Aunt Tina got in on the fun!

Clearly my grandpa was excited about giving the directions.  HA!  Actually...I think he pulled the "on your mark, get set, WAIT I DIDN'T say go yet" trick!  HA!

Brynn is REALLY into "helping" Emory and wanting Emory to sit in her lap...almost where we are like "okay, Brynn, give her a break!" HA!  But she loves her so much!

The weather was BEAUTIFUL so we headed outside to ride around the block in my grandpa's golf cart (the town is so small people drive them around town instead of cars sometimes).  And then we had a silly string fight!

Emory LOVES her Pawpaw!  (And I think he's pretty smitten with her too!)

I don't really know what's up with my crazy hair!

HAPPY EASTER!!!!  What a great day celebrating our RISEN SAVIOR!

Easter Festivities - Easter at Pamaw and Papaw's

Saturday afternoon/evening we headed to Ryan's parents house to celebrate Easter with everyone.  The kids had a big Easter egg hunt and had a great time playing together.  We ate a yummy meal and just had a good time visiting and being together.  It was just beautiful outside!

Aunt Kim had to help fix Brynn...she was about to go "Girls Gone Wild" on us with her dress hanging down...HA!

Sarah's family from Pennsylvania was in town, so they weren't able to be at Pam's, and Brynn missed Ansley and Charli so much!  But Ryan's cousin's and their kiddos were able to join in and they all had a great time playing together outside.  Here they are all ready for the big egg hunt!

Paisley, Brynn, Brooks, Trevor, Abby, and Emory

Clearly Emory didn't care that she wasn't hunting eggs...she was having too much fun watching all the big kids!

Pam is the queen of Garage Sales...she has gotten so many neat things!  Their backyard is full of her garage sale treasures...a bouncy house, a playhouse, etc.  The kids were in heaven!

Brynn played with the kiddos, and Emory just got snuggles from everyone!

With Ryan's grandma...Gigi.

When it was time to eat, these three decided to all sit on one side!  HA!

And of course Brynn got some Frozen pajamas from Pamaw for Easter, and already had to change...HA!

I can't say enough how awesome the weather was all day...it was just beautiful to be outside and to celebrate with our family!
