Celebrating Easter!

We began the Easter season with a party at school. The children enjoyed special treats from home & made several special crafts. The Turtle Pond had an egg hunt on the playground.

Heading out to collect some eggs.
Eggs were everywhere!

Each child was to get 8 eggs. Ashlyn had over 20 in her basket. I explained that she would have to share with the others. She smiled and replied, "OK Mommy". I was quite proud. During car line, after school, I noticed a huge pile of candy wrappers falling out of her pocket. I asked her where she got it all. She answered, "I ate all the candy all gone from all of the eggs before I gave them to all of the kids!" Yep, that's my girl!

On Saturday, we headed over to the church to hunt eggs and play games. Ashlyn was a little bit afraid of the bunny, but as soon as Daddy was on the scene, things were just fine!


Waiting.......

Time to look for the eggs!!They were everywhere!


Playing games & trying to win MORE candy!


This was the first year that Rick was able to be home with us for Easter! We were so happy & decided to dye eggs for the first time! We bought this spinner that made the eggs look tye-dyed. It was pretty cool!

So proud of our final creations! Checking out the basket from the Easter bunny!


We were so excited to have Rick with us to go to the Boone Hall service. It has been a tradition every year since Ash was born. The morning was perfect & we could not have had better weather. The service & music were awesome, as always!

Sweet girl!

After the service, we headed home to have brunch with Meme & Popa. It was a wonderful time! Ashlyn loved that everyone had to eat one of her eggs!
