Our Easter weekend could not have been any more perfect. The weather was absolutely beautiful so the majority of our weekend was spent outside. Gransan came down on Friday afternoon and stayed until Sunday after lunch. Of course on Friday she came bearing gifts. For Emerson, she brought the new colored bubbles bubble machine by Crayola. They are very serious when they say that it's a messy outdoor activity...messy, but so much fun! Emerson was entertained for what seemed like hours! Saturday was a pretty lazy day and Saturday evening we decided to head down to the Woodlands Waterway. We had dinner at Coal Burger and then went outside to let Emerson play at the splash pad. Afterwards it was back to the house for "pink" ice cream! Easter Sunday, the girls got their Easter baskets and we went to early service. During class time they had an egg hunt for the kids. There are not that many pictures of Emerson because from the moment they said "GO!" I was chasing her from behind! We had lunch at 7 Leguas, our favorite Mexican place, and then it was time for Gransan to start for home. After the girls had their naps, we had our own egg hunt in the yard. The egg hunt at church was more of an egg gather...the eggs are scattered all over the grass and you grab your allotted 30 eggs and you are done. We decided that we needed an actual hunt! Emerson loved it...so glad we got it on video! After our hunt we grilled hot dogs on the grill and ate out on the patio...a perfect end to a perfect weekend.

Bubbles!!!! |

I had to include all these pictures! She had soooo much fun! |
|
Gransan, there's a purple one!!! |
|
She insisted that Gransan do everything she did on the swing set...even going down the slide! |
|
Braelyn thought it was great getting to try out Big Sister's tricycle! |
|
I'm not sure she ever even saw a bubble! |

This splash pad sprays water much higher than the one at Market Street! |
|
Braelyn didn't quite make it to the splash pad! She was much happier snuggling with Daddy! |
|
We are ready for pink ice cream! |
|
Happy Easter! |
|
I love those smiles! |
|
Emerson's basket was full of things to play outside...flashlight, magnifying glass, "noculars", and gardening tools. |
|
Hey Mom, what else is in my basket? |
|
Hey Dad, look at my "noculars"! |
|
First Easter as a family of 4! |
|
So glad Gransan could be here to celebrate with us! |

Hi bunny! |
|
A last minute egg hunt pep talk! |
|
And she's off... |
|
Her basket filled up very quickly! |
|
Braelyn wanted in on the action even though we didn't bring her basket! |
|
Very proud of her huntin'! |
|
Hmmmm...I wonder if there is anything in these things. |
|
The sisters made quite a haul between the two of them! |
|
When we got back home they got to open their bags from Grandma and Papa. Emerson loved her bunny! |
|
Braelyn did too! |
|
Trying out her "noculars" watching Daddy practice his golf swing! |
|
I found something! |
