It's a perfect day for....

 ....an Easter Egg Hunt, of course!!

"Mom, these are the rules.  First, someone hides the eggs.  Then someone else finds them.  OK?"

Happy Easter Y'all!

Easter Joy

We had a lovely Easter. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures of Lily in her "beeeeaaaauuutiful" dress, but here are some before-church pictures. Above, Lily is holding her new ballerina jewelry box from Grandma and Grandpa! As you can tell, she's VERY fond of it :) After an amazing service at our beloved Hopwood, we went to a potluck at our friends' John and Amanda's house. We had an Easter egg hunt for the kids, played music, and sweated a lot! Such a wonderful, joyful day:

Happy (belated) Resurrection Day to all! We had a beautiful, brief visit to SC to see Papaw, Mimi, Robin, and Meemaw and had such a great time playing outside and celebrating!Lily looked beautiful (of course) on Easter morning in her dress from Grandma and Grandpa! Lily spent most of the Easter service in the nursery at Mimi and Papaw's church and did great! Afterwards, we had Lily's first Easter egg hunt! It took her awhile to get the hang of it...

She bypassed the eggs at first to play in the dirt.Lily and our cousin Robin really hit it off this weekend - she's a natural with kids and played along (see bunny ears). Lily had to plop down on that exact stepping stone every time to consume the contents of the eggs: crackers, veggie booty, and goldfish!

Last night, as we were driving home, Jeremy and I turned around to see this:
She put the headband on herself!
