Easter at aunt Holly's and uncle Brandon's house

After church on Sunday, we went over Holly and Brandon's house for lunch and another egg hunt.  This one had about 90 eggs!



Easter morning 2010

Both kids had a wonderful Easter.  All together now...."Thank you Easter Bunny"!!  He found Luke an AWESOME swim trunks/rash guard....SUPERMAN!  Plus a few other things.  Allie racked up, also!  She got books, hairbows, and a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD...and some surprises.  

 Two thumbs up from Luke....





 Allie was a little...ummm...agitated with the whole picture thing this year!




 Our wonderful family....
 My mom keeping my dad in line!

Easter at Grammy and Papaw's

We had a fun filled Easter weekend...FULL of EGGS!!!  Wow, I think total, out kids hunted over 300 of them!  And had a blast doing it!!

We started the festivities with a HUGE egg hunt at mama and daddy's house.  250 eggs there....
We always have a wonderful time letting the kids (all 4 of them, with the help of Brittany and Cody!) hunt all those eggs.  I think they always leave one for grammy to find with the lawnmower!  Here are just a few pictures....

READY, SET, GOOOO!!!!
 Allie gets out first...
 Yes, there were so many eggs hidden, the kids carried the re-usable shopping bags!




 Papaw helpin Luke out....
 Allie finally getting the hang of it....

 Grammy giving Allie a "little" help!

 Count 'em up!
 Cynthia counting Sydney's (while she was out trying to find more!)


 Well, if you are wondering who won the "Great Egg Hunt of 2010"....it was Dawson!

Allie's BIG bo-bo

Should we have gone to the ER???  You take a look.....

Well, we didn't.  I guess as a parent, we always seem to second guess ourselves....right?  She fell while drinking out of her sippy cup.  She was running and playing almost right after it happened.

just looking at the pictures in my blog....do you find it amusing that a lot, i mean A LOT of pictures in here are of my kids....in their pajamas??

Allie's nightly ritual...

Just about every night when I say "OK Allie, time for bed", she will run and hide behind her curtains.  It is the funniest thing to see....
