Easter

We had a wonderful Easter weekend!  We kicked it off Thursday with a party at AveryAnn's school and egg hunt at Barrett.  I was unable to make either of them.  My dad went to AveryAnn's party since it was his normal day to pick her up anyway.  She was so excited for him to be there.

He took this picture of her by the fountain and I laughed saying it looks like she's perfected her "influencer" pose.  She and my dad met my mom for lunch that day too.  She was so excited!

Barrett's class had an egg hunt, it wasn't for parents but Jessica went to "hide" the eggs and snapped a couple pictures for me.  

We had Good Friday off of school.  I had work on signs for the Magnolia Festival and it was a cold, rainy day.  

Saturday morning we got up and headed to the egg hunt at church.  My kids put on a pitiful showing.  AveryAnn found zero eggs and Barrett found a whopping 3.  But they had fun and I guess that's all that counts.

My Grandmother was supposed to have a little heart procedure on Good Friday but they ended up not doing it. We weren't sure if we'd get to go to her house for Easter or not.  My dad decided to invite us all over without telling her.  We brought all the food and surprised her.  I think she was excited.  It was so sad seeing her not feeling her best.  She is someone that does whatever she wants, she never asks for help.  So to see her not able to do much was not normal.  Thankfully, she's feeling better now and slowly getting back to herself.

She has a few acres of property so the boys always take guns.  Patrick bought Barrett this rifle maybe before he was born.  He decided that Barrett was finally old enough to shoot it.  They were both so excited.

Grandmother got all the kids sunglasses and the girls were loving their Minnie Mouse ones.  They were so vute together.

We hid the eggs a couple of times for them to find and then it was time to head home and get ready for the Easter Bunny!

The bunny came and the kids were so excited.  Even if I didn't get a picture of them with their baskets.

We went to Mass and then to my mom and dad's for lunch.  My boys are getting their money out of these suits.

I was taking a picture of Barrett and AveryAnn and Madelyn wanted in.  I thought this one was too cute.

These two girls are so much fun. 

When I first got AveryAnn's dress in I wasn't very excited about it.  But once I put it on her, I fell in love.  I thought it was so sweet and classic.  She wasn't really in to hunting eggs but she didn't want to be left out.

Mom and Dad were hiding eggs, drinking beer and smoking.  I thought these two have been champion Easter bunnies for nearly 40 years.  They are so funny!

I'm a little obsessed with this picture of the kids.  They are just so sweet together.

For dinner we went to the Horton's.  All the kids played outside with nerf guns and it was a really sweet night.

I went to the bank Monday for work and one of the sweet tellers had Easter baskets for my kids.  Yall, I was blown away by her thoughtfulness.  She barely knows me, just from the few minutes we interact each morning but she thought about us enough to make my kids baskets.  It was just the sweetest thing.

It was such a wonderful holiday!  Now we're counting down the days until summer break!
