Forever YOUNG!: Easter Weekend!

What a FUNfilled Easter weekend! Each holiday is exciting to experience together as a family. And in our hard decision making struggle about where and what to be and do...we did decide to keep FAMILY FIRST!! We are blessed to live close to both our families where we can easily drive to them.

Friday began with just the 3 of us!! We headed out to Cedar Hills Farm! Even though it was a little chilly and very windy, we had a GREAT time! We took our picture first with a LIVE bunny!! Connor could not wait to hold that white bunny. Surprisingly he did GREAT!!

We then visited all the animals. Connor then made his trip to see the Easter Bunny. Luckily, we had him to ourselves for a little while because it took Connor a little while to finally get close to him. He talked up a storm to him..."you are white...you have ears...you hop...come my house..."

Next Connor and Daddy rode the train! YEAH!

We then rode the "John Deere tractor" out to hunt eggs. Connor had it all to himself for a little bit and just took off in the field of a million eggs in hunt for the 12 he wanted to pick up!! He didn't discover until the end that there actually was something in the eggs...so he and daddy shared a tootsie roll!!

Saturday, my parents "Mimi and Big Bob" were here with us. We went to the church egg hunt all together. Our best buddies were there and buy was it FUN! Connor found lots of eggs with Big Bob's help!!Then it was PLAY time on the playground with my friends. I think Mimi and Big Bob had a blast watching him interact with his friends. We ate a hotdog lunch picnic style. Then emptied out all the eggs on the way home looking for CANDY!! Connor seems to like the smarties the best.

Mimi and Big Bob stayed to play a little while before they had to go home. It was long awaited time with them...reading books, playing cars and hunting more eggs!

We then drove Saturday night to Jackson to be with Brad's family. Connor had his first egg dieing party there. We were not quite sure how that would go...but he loved it! He was pretty patient. I think only one egg was broken! He did a fantastic job and you could tell he was proud!

There is nothing better than Easter Sunday morning!! We woke up and got ready. We found that there was ...STUFF...in our easter baskets!! How nice!! Grandmomma and Grandpa went with us to First Baptist Jackson...our old church. It is always nice to be back there. Connor kept saying "Jackson"...we think that he thinks the big church is called Jackson!?!?! The service was AMAZING-MUSIC there is like no other...heavenly!!

We then headed back home for lunch with all the family!

We also hunted eggs...really pretty eggs that Jet had brought. JJ and Jet hid the eggs and then Connor found them all...except the last one- he had everybody looking for!!?!? When it was finally found...Olivia/"Viva" also found a real frog!
