Easter!

Easter turned out to be quite a big deal this year! We had been thinking we would have a nice day of church, brunch and Easter bunny pictures like last year. Mom and Dad ended up hosting with family from both Mom and Dad's side. It was an event to say the least!

Good Friday Leighton and I headed there just because we had both had a good night's sleep the night before. Saturday Bill met us and Dad boiled crawfish.

 I'm just relaxing in my chair...

 Leighton's first crawfish boil. She ate puffs. They're crawfish to her;-)

 I took the girls for a ride on the golf cart and then we couldn't get them off. They literally just sat in it FOREVER

 She loves Paw Paw's porch!

 She took a ride in her own "cart"

 They sure do love each other!

 Mackenzie is queen of the world!!!!

After Leighton went to bed, Mackenzie finally got to dye eggs. Mom got her this fancy pearlized dye. The turned out pretty!



Sunday I got the girls out as early as I could for pictures in their matching dresses. Mackenzie stayed in hers for about an hour. I think she had 4 wardrobe changes that day, lol.

We had an egg hunt, the kids painted each other's faces and (of course) they "pocked" eggs (as all good Cajuns do!).

They actually did a pretty good job!

 Egg hunt! She got 2, which was way better than I was expecting. I really thought after the first one she'd throw a fit to not put it in the basket. After the second one, I didn't want to push my luck;)

egg "pocking"! She liked it!

After Easter festivities Bill had to make a short work trip, so Leighton and I stayed and went camping with Mom and Dad on Monday. She really enjoyed being outside so much!

 Walking to the store with Paw Paw!

 Playground time!

Easter!!

Happy Easter! He is risen!!

Easter celebrations for Leighton actually began last weekend. We were in Louisiana for unfortunate circumstances, but stayed later than planned for her to have an Easter egg hunt with her cousins (who were also having some water fun on Mackenzie's new water slide):

Nothing like an Easter egg hunt in swim suits:)

This weekend, we had 2 days of fun. Saturday we celebrated at Aunt Corma and Uncle Raymond's - 4 babies under 3! Sooo much fun!

Loving Angel's grin! Wish you could see her Michelle Tanner pigtails

All the kiddos!

Seamus and Leighton bonding. He kept telling me, "I really like your baby" LOVE that boy!

She was soooo sleepy!

And Easter Sunday was just the 3 of us. We had a rough morning and didn't get to make it to church (but we did watch 2 services on TV, lol). We had a late brunch at the club where the Easter bunny paid a visit:

She totally charmed the Bunny, cooed and giggled when he waved at her:)

Back at home, Leighton received her Easter baskets from Mommy and Daddy and Maw Maw and Paw Paw. She also took a picture with all 5 (yes, 5!) of her Easter baskets, which included gifts from Meme and Paw Paw, Aunt April, Aunt Corma and Uncle Raymond and cousins Aaron and Celina, and Jude and Fawn.

I can't even imagine what Christmas will look like!
