Easter

I know that the Easter pictures should have been with the post from last week, but there were just too many pictures!
Gigi and Jaja came back to Louisiana with us to celebrate Easter! Mary Virginia had riding lessons - we were getting back into the swing of things and our regular schedule! She did great riding Bailey has usual and Gigi was able to see her jump! (Even if Bailey doesn't jump very high!)
Jaja and Ed went fishing on Saturday. Even though they didn't catch many fish, I still think they had a great time! They are getting ready for their next fishing adventure! While the boys were fishing, mom and I took the kids out to lunch and to get a "Jessie" doll for MV. JB has Woody and Buzz and MV was feeling a little left out! Then it was time to dye eggs. Now, if you read my previous post, you know that I am a control freak when it comes to dying eggs (also with play dough, but that is a story for another time), so this was a struggle for me. Thank goodness mom was there to help! The kids did great and I tried to stay calm!
(John Bay decided to use his hands to pick the eggs out of the dye. I am cringing just looking at the picture.)
....and the beautiful results!
We left our note and treat for the Easter Bunny on the mantel...we weren't too sure what the dogs might do. The kids were excited about their goodies - lots of pool toys, sunglasses and bathing suits (the Easter Bunny must have known we were heading to the beach).
It was off to church and lunch. Everyone looked great in their Easter clothes - and everyone was happy! We waited for pictures until after church and I am not sure that was the best idea - we were all tired, hungry, and the sun was sooooo bright!
The Easter Bunny stopped back by while we were at church to hide eggs. He said that he didn't want to hide them before church because he didn't want the dogs to eat them when they went outside. I guess he has been watching Princess, she will eat anything!
After lunch, we had more egg hunts. And more and more...but everyone was having fun!
Happy Easter!
