Happy Easter Y'all!

We Eastered twice this year. We had Easter with all of the cousins the Sunday before Easter since Jessica, Mary Ella and Rhett were still in town. All the cousins had a blast hunting eggs together. They would break up into groups, rehide them and then hunt them over and over again. Gracie had a good trial run with ripping up her Easter basket from Gigi and Papa. Papa gave four wheeler rides and we had a wonderful homemade lunch made by Gigi!

Sisters
The next week we had round 2. The Easter bunny came to our house this week and the kiddos (including Gracie) were ready! He was really good to them this year! We went back to Gigi and Papa's after church for a more low key lunch. Just us, them and Oma. We hunted eggs again, took more four wheeler rides and played outside. It is so wonderful to be a family of 5 this Easter! We feel so blessed to have Gracie in our lives and privileged to get to teacher her about Jesus' resurrection!
