Saturday Allison had an Easter egg hunt at her house, there were lots of kids and lots of family that made for a great time despite the cool weather!! I had a hard time narrowing down the pictures in this post and the next so there are lots of pictures and not a lot of words (I'm sure you don't mind:) ). The first four pictures are from
Allison's blog.
The traditional bunny cake made by my grandmother.
The yummy cupcakes made by yours truly!
Allison set up a table where the kids could decorate their own cookies and not have to worry about being messy!
All of the kids ready to take off...
My cousin Jasmine showing off her Easter basket (she is ALL girl)!!
Grace on the move to find some eggs-
I think she hit the jackpot here!!
Ben was moving quickly too!
He had just enough time to stop and show me one of his findings...
Grace in the foreground, Samantha Jane and my cousin Cora-Sioux and the back.
Alexander had a great time hunting with a little help from Uncle Chris!
Ben showing me his loot!
Alexander tried to show me his but they were way down in the bag :(
Grace's bucket is pretty full...
Cora-Sioux sneaking some candy from one of her eggs!
I think this picture of Ben and Grace is great!
We added Alexander to the picture (Ben and Grace are pretending to eat their eggs:) )
Samantha Jane had to steady herself while she reached for an egg.
Too cute!!!
Matt and Allison's friends' little girl, Rileigh, worked hard to find her some eggs!!
Samantha Jane puts one away.
Something was very important and Samantha Jane wanted us to know about it!!
Grace sorting through her eggs.
Alexander couldn't stop talking about it (not even long enough for me to snap a picture!)
Matt's cousin Abi sneaking into someone else's basket :)
Ben showing off his goodies!!
Rileigh picking her prize from the prize basket.
Mimi stayed inside with Colin during the egg hunt.
Mimi and Grace admiring Colin:
We had a great time Saturday and hope it can be an annual event!!!
He talked the whole way to the park about baseball (stopping here and there to talk about ponds, stop signs, ducks, you name it and this kid will talk about it!) This is him right as we got out of the car, you can tell he was starting to say "baseball" as I took the picture!
This is where Alexander sat almost the whole game, he just sat there and watched very intently. He would repeat what some of the other parents were saying, cheer, and call out balls.
Intense moment... It was a close call!
Here is Ethan pitching. You will have to excuse the quality of the pictures, the sun had just set and I tried just about every setting on my camera but none of them came out. You can at least get the gist...
This one is really dark, but if you click on it you can see it a little better.
This was toward the end of the game, Alexander started his version of the rally cap. He would take off his hat, throw it down, pick it up and put it back on over and over. He was saying something too, but I can't remember what it was.
Uncle Chris and a very sleepy Xander.
Yay!! Ethan's team won, GO BRAVES!!
After the game we let Alexander get out on the field and run around for a few minutes. He was so good the whole game and we thought this might wear him down just enough to make him go to sleep as soon as he got home... I didn't ask, but I don't think it worked!!
Congrats Braves, good luck in the tournament!!
