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!
