Let me start this post by saying thank you to all those avid readers of our blog who so kindly remind me frequently that I need to do some updating!! :) I am so far behind, so I thought I would start back with Easter. It was such a fun weekend, I couldn't resist posting our favorite moments. I also need to state that I don't have pictures of Teta and Gueddo because all of those pictures are on Teta's camera, so Teta, if you can email those to me, I will add them to the blog. Both sets of grandparents are important to us and our children!! Both of you were here to celebrate this special day with us!!
For Easter, my mom carried on my
Memaw's tradition of dying Easter eggs with the kids. My
Memaw used to dye eggs with us every year in
Newby...it is something that was special to me growing up and I would love that tradition to carry on. However, maybe we need to wait a few years before we try it again.
Starting off things went okay....Hudson put the little tabs in the cups and then dropped in the eggs. But when it was time to take them out, he didn't want help and when Nana tried to help, the blue dye went all over the patio, Hudson, & Nana.
My Little Smurf!!! The dye stayed on his leg until the next day when I scrubbed it with a towel in the tub the next morning.
This is what we had to put on to finish our Easter eggs dying.....again, I think we will wait a few years before we try this again!!
Ella & Papa
Nana & Hudson
Just
chillin' in the wagon.
Friday night,
Teta and
Gueddo came in town and we went to dinner and spent time at the house just playing...
Teta and
Gueddo hadn't seen the kids since Christmas (way too long!!) Saturday morning we spent some time shopping at the mall...again, always fun with 2 small children. Saturday afternoon
Eisie held her 1st Annual
Eisenhour Easter Egg Extravaganza!!! I think there we 18 kids there with all their parents and some grandparents!! In all I think there were over 50 people there!! It was so much fun!! We can't wait to hunt eggs again next year!!
Ready, Set, Hunt Eggs!!
Ella would just open the eggs and eat the goldfish.
Hudson was running all over to get the eggs!!
Enjoying some cupcakes and popcorn!!
Dylan & Kate having fun!!
Little Bunny Emory and her daddy....too cute!!
Hudson, JD, and Dylan
flyin' high!!
After the Egg Hunt, we went to dinner with both sets of grandparents. Sunday everyone met for church at
FBCE and enjoy a yummy lunch at Nana & Papa's house. We were sad to see
Teta and
Gueddo leave after lunch, we we know we will see them in a few weeks for Mother's Day!!
HAPPY EASTER!!!
