Easter Weekend

What a wonderful Easter weekend we had!!

Brandon's family came in from Texas and Kentucky which just made for a really enjoyable weekend. We shopped all day on Saturday getting cute Easter clothes and last minute items for Easter dinner. Saturday night after Ryan and Kelli arrived we made Ressurection cookies. It was a very special time of telling the Easter story to the kids while making the cookies .

Sunday morning arrived and we all got dressed and headed to church. In my unbiased opinion, Joshua and Aby were the cutest there. After church we came back home and started cooking...we had a great afternoon of bonding, playing and eating with the Bishop family and the Estes. Joshua, Aby, Drew, and Luke had a fun Easter egg hunt and played all afternoon. It was such a special memory. We just wish it could have been a little bit warmer.

Painting and Friends

Yesterday, Joshua, Aby, and I went with Drew and Monica (our sweet, precious friends) to Third Coast Clay. I don't know if you have ever been to a place like this, but this is where the creativity of kids shine through. Joshua and Aby chose to paint a puppy (can you tell what they are dreaming about) and Drew chose a lizard. The kids were adorable and it was so much fun to watch them paint and discover colors. In the end we wound up with a purple puppy (Aby's), a multi-colored puppy (Joshua's) and a very cool red and green lizard (Drew's).

It was such a memorable time. I always cherish our times with the Estes. It has been so wonderful to watch our kids grow up together over the past 3 years. We love you guys!!
