Easter Weekend

Hope everybody had a great Easter holiday and now has plenty of candy to snack on for the coming months. More importantly, I hope you got a chance to worship our wonderful Creator as we celebrated the truth of the Resurrection of Christ. He is Risen! 

We started our Easter celebrations by going to my parents' house on Saturday evening. Eva got some good outside playtime with her Baba.

And plenty of squeezes from her Mamy!  I'm very thankful that my family lives close enough to be able to see them on special days.

My Grandpa was also there which is always special. He was sharing with me about his experience mentoring in the Big Brothers/Big Sisters program. The little boy he mentors is soooo lucky. I kinda wish he could come mentor ME for an hour a week!  I am so proud of who my grandpa is.

A big smile with a mouthful of candy! We did an egg hunt at my parents', which Eva seemed to really drag out since she is the kid. No competition. Plenty of time to stop and stuff her mouth full of candy after picking up and opening each egg.

Our church has an Easter Bunny on Sunday morning. Last year Eva was terrified. This year, she was basically stalking the EB as much as possible....like she kept asking her nursery teacher when she could go back and see him again. And she wanted me to take a ton of photos of her with the EB....which is silly because she knows it isn't real. Crazy girl.

Sunday evening we went to Ryan's parents' house. We missed the Bradleys that couldn't make it but had a really great time with everybody who was there! 

The cousin embrace. Mallory and Eva greet each other like this every time. I love it.

Sweet little girls doing their "princess pose." Mallory calls Eva "Diva," and I secretly love that too :) 

"Can we go find the eggs yet??!?!?" It's so hard to be patient when you're two.

"They finally let us go!!!!" Eva was so excited. She kept making that funny face. 

Reaching soooo high up for that hidden egg. I may have had to give her a boost. And point out that the egg was there in the first place.

Mamaw (Ryan's grandmother) with some of her great grandkids. I think they each found plenty of eggs. No shortage of sugar here.

Finally here is a family photo comparison between last Easter and this Easter. Woah. We've each changed a bit :)
