Easter Fun with Family


This morning Granddaddy helped the girls color Easter Eggs.


Madison was waiting for the eggs to finish in the colored water.


Once the Easter Eggs were dry, we decorated them with stickers.


Our finished Easter Eggs.


The girls couldn't wait to show Nana, Pop, Mimi, Jean and Bill their Easter Eggs when they came over for lunch today.


Mimi gave the girls some cute Easter DVDs, candy and cards for Easter.


Nana and Pop gave the girls the new Zhu Zhu Pet DSi game. The girls couldn't wait to play it.


We were hoping to Skype with Clay while we ate appetizers, but he wasn't able to get the computers to cooperate. We did get to talk to him on the phone though.


Time for lunch.

After lunch we had an Easter Egg Hunt outside for the girls.


Granddaddy did a great job hiding the Easter Eggs. Madison had trouble spotting the pink Easter Egg in the pink flowers.


They found them all!


Uncle Kyle helped them count their Easter Eggs and open them to see what surprises were hiding inside.

Easter Egg Hunt!

The Mom's Connection Group at Grandma's church invited us to join them for their annual Easter Egg Hunt at Colonial Oaks Park.

The girls had fun playing on the playground before the Easter Egg Hunt.

Madison LOVED this cool new playground equipment that she could sit in and spin around.

Jocelyn has her basket and is ready for the Easter Egg Hunt.

Happy 8th Birthday, Hunter!

This morning we went to breakfast with our friends the Porters.

We were celebrating Hunter's 8th birthday!

Hunter was being a sweet big brother and showing his little brother Kobe the fish that were swimming in the pond behind the restaurant.

Hunter liked the Lacrosse Goals and...

Electronic Dartboard he got for his birthday!

Easter Package from Grandma Cathy!

The girls were so excited that Grandma Cathy (Jocelyn's Birth Grandmother) and Brittani Ann (Jocelyn's half sister) sent them an Easter package.

Click here to see a video of the girls opening their special Easter package. They got 18 filled Easter Eggs, several Easter Ring Pops, an Easter book, Easter coloring books and a stuffed Easter Bunny for each of them.

Mixon Fruit Farms

Today we took the girls to Mixon Fruit Farms.

We love CITRUS fruit!

The FREE samples were awesome!

We ate lunch there. Madison loved the YUMMY oranges!

The girls even got to paint Easter Oranges!

Jocelyn and her Easter Orange!

Jocelyn and Grandma are ready for the Tram Ride around the groves.

Madison and I are looking forward to seeing the animals.

Jocelyn held a baby alligator!

Madison touched the alligator while Jocelyn held it. ;)

We got to pet an opossum.

We saw an 11 ft. snake.

He wrapped the 11 ft. snake around the girls!

My brave girls!
