Easter 2019

We had a wonderful Easter Weekend! It started Saturday morning with the Crestwood Easter Egg Scramble! We met a few of our neighbors there and the kids got a bunch of eggs! It's our third year to go and it's always a fun time. 

Then on Easter morning, the kids woke up and found their Easter baskets that the Easter Bunny had left for them. Our Easter Bunny hides their baskets so it's always fun to try and find them. Jackson's was hiding in the hall bathtub and Avery's was in the kitchen pantry.

After looking through their baskets to see what all they got, we got ready and went to church. Then after the service, they had an Easter Egg Hunt for the kids in the front yard of the church. Our kids always get so many goodies at Easter. The weather couldn't have been better. It was around 80 degrees and sunny all day! It was perfect.

After church, we went back to our house for a fish fry. My dad had caught so many fish in the last year and so we decided since we'd all be together on Easter, it would be a great day to fry it up. My dad's fish is always SO good! My sister made a carrot cake at my request which was also really good. The kids were able to play outside all day. The boys played a lot of basketball and rode bikes while the girls spent a lot of time in Avery's Frozen sleigh. It really was a great day!

I hope you all had a wonderful Easter.

Easter 2018 Re-Cap

We had a great Easter this year filled with lots of fun Egg Hunts and family gatherings.

First up was the Crestwood Easter Egg Scramble on the Saturday before Easter. We went with some of our neighbors and though, it was cold and rainy, we still had fun!

After the Easter Egg Scramble, we had our Smith Family Easter Celebration at Jake's brother's house. We were supposed to have it at a park, but it was cold and rainy, so we moved it to their house and still grilled burgers and hot-dogs and had lots of yummy treats along with a fun egg hunt around the house.

Then on Easter Sunday morning, the kids found their baskets that the Easter Bunny had hidden around the house the night before. We also went to church that morning and there was a little Easter Egg Hunt there as well. After church we had my family over for Easter Dinner and a little Easter Scavenger Hunt for the kids. It was a great day.

Easter Weekend

We had a wonderful Easter Weekend! I hope you all did as well.

It started Friday with our new doors being delivered. My Dad and Jake were both off work and got started on the job as soon as the doors were delivered. It took all day, but they got the doors in. As usual, it didn't go smoothly, but they got it done. Saturday my Dad finished up the trim work around the door on the inside and outside and put together our 4 new rocking chairs. I love the way it all came together!!

Here's a before and after picture from when we first bought the house a year and a half ago, til now!  



Saturday, we went to our community Easter Egg Hunt! The kids had a great time.

 

Saturday afternoon, we had our Easter celebration with Jake's side of the family at a park. My brother-in-law and sister-in-law rented a pavilion at a park near their house and it was such a fun time to spend the day outside. We BBQ'd, had a Egg Hunt, flew kites, played kick ball, blew bubbles and played on the playground. The weather was warm and sunny! It was a really fun day!

While we were at the park, Jackson learned to pump and swing by himself! So proud of our big boy! 

Then Sunday morning we got up and the kids found their baskets from the Easter Bunny, then we got ready and headed to church!

 

After church, we came home and had dinner with my family. We also put together a little scavenger hunt for the kids. At the end of the hunt, they each had a little basket of goodies from Maw Maw and Papa! My Aunt and Uncle also got them each a little gift. They blew bubbles after the scavenger hunt and jumped on the trampoline. It was such a fun day!!
