Easter 2012

We had a wonderful Easter morning.

The Easter Bunny brought chocolate,
Goldfish, and ...

Skylanders for our PS3!

What a generous Easter Bunny we have.

East Texas Egg Hunt

Today, we went to Diboll for a big ham lunch with the family. Esther prepared a wonderful lunch.

After lunch, Meme and Pobby had planned an egg hunt for the kids.

Here Bailey is checking out what goodies were in the eggs.
Great picture of the four of us.

Wonderful day with wonderful people!

Easter Egg Hunt at AUMC

This year instead of the tradition egg hunt, they had stations with games or tasks to complete to earn your eggs. This one Bailey is trying to eat a peep without touching it with her hands.

Then the kids tackled the rock wall!

Posed for some pictures with the Easter Bunny.

Then finished the day with a slice of pizza.

We had a great time!

The Planetarium

Here are the kids kicked back at the planetarium in the HMNS. We saw 2012: Mayan Prophecies. Very interesting how they used the stars to chart their calendar.

While we were at the HMNS, the kids could not resist a taking a turn on the GyroXtreme Ride. Here are a couple of picture of them strapping up.

March Picture of the Month

It's March 2012 and we got a new Town and Country van! I don't know who is more excited, me or the kids. This is the first time they have a new car experience. We traded in the Miada and are going to keep the Tribute. March is going to be a busy month. With the kids' open houses at school, spring break, and a visit from Grandma. Looking forward to it all!
