Easter


 We had such a wonderful 4 day weekend! Friday, we went over to Matt and Leigh's house to grill, let the kids play and dye eggs!

 More egg dying!

Friday evening, we went to the Good Friday service at our church. 

Saturday, for lunch, my side of the family went to the restaurant in the Brookwood community. My parents treated us to a wonderful Easter lunch.
 Beautiful flowers!


 The whole crew

After lunch we stopped at Chris and Jenn's to have dessert and let the kids play for a bit. They also had a mini Easter egg hunt (empty eggs, but still fun)



 Grandma got all the kids Easter goodies, including new nightgowns!  Always fun!
 Cheese!

Easter morning, the girls were up early!
 They were excited about their Easter baskets they got to open before church!

 Lots of fun goodies! (Kennedy)


 Egg sidewalk chalk!

We had a wonderful lunch and the kids got to hunt eggs in the backyard when we got home! This year, the eggs were filled with money instead of candy! :) 
Happy Easter!

Catching up

 The twins got to go on their first grade field trip at the end of March. They went to the Children's Museum and to a park to eat lunch. :)  I wasn't able to go, but Kennedy's teacher sent these pictures for me.

 That same week, Tony took off work and came up to the school to eat lunch with the girls and visit me! So sweet!!

In April, Tony participated in "Dancing with the Staff" at Elkins HS. The seniors ask teachers/staff members to "dance"  in the dance competition. What do you know...Tony won!!!   He also won in a sub category for "Most entertaining". 


Tony and the senior that asked him!


 It was a late night for the girls, but they had a blast cheering on their daddy! 


 Some of the dance participants....


 In action! :)


Last Sunday, we got invited to another church's 25th anniversary celebration in the Toyota Center. Guest speaker was Willie Robertson. We loved it!


This past Thursday was Grandparents' Day at school. Each grade level sang a song. There were lots of activities for the grandparents and kids to do! Fun day!!
