Easter

Well since I have nothing else to post about I guess I should put some pics from Easter up.

We went to my Aunts annual Easter egg hunt on Saturday and we were a little late but the girls had a ball. She had a ton of stuff for them to find and then she always has prizes and fun games planned. Ever since I was little we have been going to Aunt Kay's for her Easter Egg hunt. She has a big fire and we roast hot dogs and have pot luck galore. I don't know how she does it but it's always fun! Thanks Aunt Kay!

When we came home we colored eggs. I almost forgot this year. Greg had just as much fun as the girls. I almost had to stop him because I didn't boil that many eggs.


Easter morning I was startled awake at 7:15 by Hayden standing about an inch away from my face. I think she actually got up earlier because I heard an egg full of jelly beans rattle at around 4-ish. So we got up and the girls went through their baskets and i tried to keep them from eating too much candy at that early hour. Then after church we headed to Aunt Ericas for our annual Averett Family Easter Party. It's the best because the girls get more money than candy. Thank you Grandma Dixie! Then we ate yummy turkey and ham etc... and the highlight of the day is always flying kites. The kids all love it and the Crandalls house is the perfect place to fly kites. Not surprising, Greg was the last one to bring his kite down. He grumbles about having to put 3 kites together but he takes his kite flying very seriously. I can't wait to hear him grumble about putting 4 kites together next year! Gracie's kite never did fly but she still had fun and Chandler did awesome! I saw her standing out in the field and didn't realize she was holding on to her very own kite just like a big kid! I kept waiting for her to let go of it but in the end I'm the one who lost my kite. I thought it was history but Greg chased it down!



We always have such a good Easter thanks to the Crandalls and Grandma Dixie. I hope we will keep up this tradition for a long time!

Gotta love a magic marker mani-pedi!

This is what happens when mommy doesn't feel good and goes in the other room to lie down.....
She wouldn't let me take her picture so I had to wait till she fell asleep.

For some reason she decided to hang out in her swim suit all day. Well part of it. It is spring break after all.

She decided to do a little coloring. This is the second time in about 2 weeks she's colored all over her legs. Who is baby sitting anyway? Whoever it is she's fired.



She gave herself a magic marker manicure

And with that you have to have a magic marker pedicure. Of course this just happens to be one of the only markers in our house that isn't washable. This is why mommy's can't get sick.
