Easter Day

HAPPY EASTER...CHRIST IS RISEN!!!

We woke up early to start another day full of fun with family. The Easter bunny came to our house while we slept and left the kids a lot of toys and some money. We were thankful he was a little light on the candy this year!

Hudson was still asleep and Hadley was getting antsy so we let her go ahead and dig into her basket.

So excited to open an egg full of coins!

Hudson is finally awake and NOT in the mood for pictures! He loved his toys but this is the only picture I got the entire time because he just kept telling me "NO!"

Hudson still wasn't having any pictures so our attempt at getting a picture of the two kids together didn't happen. I had to jump in the picture as well just to get a picture at all.

Waiting for Peyton and Buck to get to the church...

And finally ready to pose. The second Ryan walked in the door Hudson's attitude changed and he was excited to take a picture with Ryan and Buck.

Peyton and Hadley

I love him wrapping his arm around her neck. She is so sweet and patient with him and he can be pretty darn sweet to her too. It is amazing how much he looks up to Hadley and wants to mimic everything she does!

A picture for Mama and Papa of their four grandkids....and one on the way.

After chuch we met Lolly, Pops, E, and Tim at the Petroleum Club for an Easter lunch. Because our service ended a little earlier than theirs we got to the restaurant with some time to run around and play before our reservations. Hadley was thrilled to see another Easter bunny and Hudson was unsure once again. He wanted to have the bunny in his sight at all times and even wave from afar but he was not going to get close!

Pointing out the bunny to me.

                                                   

Candy makes  it all worth the risk of getting close to the Easter bunny. Still no way we would get a picture but we did at least get a smile and a "tank oooo" (thank you)

Hadley looks upset here but I don't think she was. I am pretty sure she was just tired of me telling her to smile and put her arm around her brother.

E tried to take a family picture for us but you can see that one child didn't quite make it into the pictures.
Looking closely you can see him hidden behing Hadley's legs.

Such a big boy sitting at the table and drinking from a big glass. 

After lunch I took the kids back outside so the others could enjoy the remainder of their lunch. The kids can just only be good, still, and quiet for so long!

Such an enjoyable morning and lunch. We feel so lucky to have both sides of our family in town so we can see them both for all holidays. We had a great Easter with wonderful weather and were excited to go home, relax, and spend some time together for the rest of the day.
