This Easter was not much different than the previous few years, but we did enjoy it! We started our morning by giving the kids their baskets, which was a hit. We try not to go over-board on candy because we know they will get a ton from Mamaw's house. We bought Kallee some Polly Pocket type dolls, Keegan got some limited edition race cars and cologne he has been asking for and Talon got some new sun glasses. After we were done with the baskets, we ate breakfast and got ready for church. We had a very, full house at church and almost 60 kids in Jr. Church. I sure wish we had gotten 60 kids, then we could have turned Bro. Gene into a "human smore", YUMMY! We were a few short, so no human smore this time around, HA! After church we headed to Mamaw's house and had a great dinner with Jerry's Aunt Jackie and her family. The kids rushed us as fast as they could through dinner, so we could get to the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Once again, none of the 7 kids; Talon, Keegan, Kalllee, Courtney, Lane, Cameron and Karrisa, went home empty handed. After the hunt was over, they all set up their "stores" and the candy tradin' began. They are allowed to look up and down the table and can trade whatever they wish from their pile. This kind of started when Keegan would end up with a bunch of candy he couldn't eat, due to his peanut allergy and it has stuck. Aunt Elizabeth got in on the action this year and traded from her stash, HA! All in all, we had another beautiful Easter to celebrate our Savior's Resurrection! We were able to get our naps in and then my Dad/Papa stopped in for a few days to visit us.
Our Family!
Kallee & Keegan waiting to open their eyes for their Easter Basket surprise!
I found these cute little Disney Princess "Polly's" at Aldis, they are so cute!
I don't usually do a basket for Jerry, but this year I found several items that he would like so...
My kiddos: Talon, Keegan & Kallee
Kallee lookin' all pretty in her Easter outfit! This year I just "recycled" her dress, I had Mamaw make the blue bolero (thanks so Cindy for the FREE material and thread :), and then I went and bought the flower that is on the front of it, at Wal-Mart for $2.97 : ) She wore this dress for Christmas last year (witht the red velvet and white fur bolero Mamaw made) plus several other times. The hat was given to me with the dress, the gloves were from last year and the purse was one that I bought when I was prego with Talon, HA! I loved it so much, that I kept it until I got myself a girl to use it.
My handsome little Keegan
My handsome big Talon, he is almost as tall as me, ugh!
Gettin' ready to eat!
