Easter With The Hays Family

These little girls are the best of friends. Such a blessing to spend Easter with close friends. We were invited to Waxahachie for lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt. Just after lunch we headed to Michelle’s parents home for dessert and the egg hunt but it poured rain on the way to their home and the temperature dropped drastically. It was cold and we were not dressed appropriately. Thank goodness I had jackets in the car for the girls.

 

Once the rain stopped we headed outside to ride around the field. I was so disappointed that it had rained because I was going to take some great pictures in the bluebonnets but it was too wet. They were beautiful as you can see from the pictures. This was a first for my girls, riding on lawn mowers, who would have thought it would be so much fun. I love watching the joy from experiencing new things. They were pretty happy even thought it was chilly.

 

 

The Easter Egg Hunt is about to begin. Ready, set, GO!

 

 

   

 

 

 

The confetti eggs were definitely an added bonus to the day.

Easter At Papaw’s

Easter at Papaw’s is always fun because there is so much to do. We started out the visit by hunting eggs and you can never go wrong with eggs full of candy in a child’s eyes.

 

 

 

Then we went to the catfish pond to feed the catfish and fish a little while.

 

 

Brooke left with uncle Freddy and he let her drive. I know she was in heaven, if you look closely you can see her waving and the biggest smile on her face.

   

Daddy and Papaw caught some fish. I think daddy won for the biggest. The competition was fierce and there was definitely some smack talk.

 

The girls spent some time in the garden and caught some baby frogs and named all of them. The leader was Leopard but he got away. He was one smart frog. Presley and Alexya spent most of their time catching the frogs. I swear there was about twenty in the container. They really enjoy the great outdoors and what it has to offer them. So glad they are not afraid to get dirty.

   

We came straight from another Easter party and their face painting is slowly wearing off. It was a great day and spending it with family always makes it more enjoyable.

A Special Guest!

We were invited to an Easter Party on Saturday. The girls were so excited to see their friends outside of school. We did a sack race, painted faces, balloon animals, ate Cake Balls, an Easter egg hunt and best of all the Easter Bunny made a special visit. The girls knew it was a person in a costume and they even knew who was in the costume. Brooke came up to me and said, “The Easter bunny is Sophia’s dad because I saw his shoes.” I thought that was pretty observant for my sweet Brooke. She was pretty proud of her find but I had to tell her not to tell her secret to her friends. As we were leaving for the party I asked the girls the reason we celebrate Easter and Brooke said,”because Christ has Risen.” I love that they have such a sweet spirit and a love for Christ our savior.
