Easter Sunday

Easter morning started off with a bang!  Thank goodness the Easter Bunny delivered the kids' presents early enough to miss the crazy storm. He left a few different things...

but these bunny glasses were the biggest hit!

A few hours later, we were on the second row of "big church."  It was a small Easter miracle and all three of these kids were quiet the whole time.  They didn't make a peep.  Hallelujah!

Sweet girl with her basket...

and big brother showing her how to be cool.

After lunch at Gigi and Boom's, it was finally time to hunt some eggs.  These three were READY!

On your mark, get set, GO!!

Jackson takes on egg hunting as if he's competing on the Amazing Race.

Maddie is enthusiastic, but still takes time to help out Lila.  She even found a huge egg and ran over to give it to Lila since she'd already gotten one for herself:) 

Lila was a little slower on egg hunting but still got a basket full of fun eggs.

As the kids soon found out, there was confetti in some of them! Oh my, what fun!

All three bunnies were very pleased with their loot.  Lila loved her "golden egg" and J and M had a blast busting confetti over all of our heads.

Lila did not think it was too funny when her brother smashed her over the head, though.  It was a little abrupt, especially since she didn't see it coming at all!

So thankful we got to spend the first half of Easter with these peeps.

They sure do love their Gigi.  They got her with the confetti...



then Jackson got me...



and his Boom Pa, too!

After all that crazy egg business, it was time to come back inside and enjoy the bunny cake we had made the day before.  We all agreed it was very good, but Jackson was probably the biggest fan.  The kid had 3 pieces of cake!

A few hours later we were at Memaw and Poppi's house and the kids were ready to hunt again.

Lila found lots of big eggs...



but none quite as big as this basketball that the Easter bunny left for Jackson!



What, that's all?  No more egg hunts this year?

Confetti eggs saved the day, though!  She got her daddy...

Uncle Scott and Uncle Andrew...

and then Jackson got Memaw so that she would have lots of tiny, pretty pieces of paper in her hair, too!

  

It was a beautiful afternoon and we enjoyed spending it with our family.

Jackson even managed to round up a crew to play him in PIG and got Uncle Scott to throw the football with him, too.  When we left he said, "I didn't get to play any baseball today," and was so bummed out about it.  Good grief, son!  We had two egg hunts, played basketball and football, and that still wasn't enough to wear him out.  He really could double as the energizer bunny.  Quite fitting for Easter Sunday, I suppose.
