Easter morning came and the kiddos got lots of goodies. We went to Mass and the kids know who Jesus is (Luke knows he died on a cross), but we didn’t take any pictures in church.
Luke’s Easter basket.
Gwynn’s Easter basket.
Gwynn led the way downstairs.
Rifling through their loot.
Telling mommy what they got as they got it.
Go fish!
Luke was excited about his cars.
Gwynn loved her big book of activities.
We headed to Columbiana after Mass to eat lunch and have an Easter egg hunt.
The eggs are color coded for each kid so there’s no fighting over eggs and you know when they’ve found them all by how many they have.
Luke has gotten a lot better at finding eggs.
“Got it!”
Gwynn looking for more eggs.
Luke getting some help from cousin (once removed) Nicole.
“Jealous?”
Luke spots some more eggs.
Daddy going over the perimeter to check for eggs.
Showing off.
Time for some fun on the playset.
Feeding bunnies carrots (even though they’re not very good for them).
About as good a pic of these two as you’ll get.
The North Shelby library had an Easter egg hunt the day before Easter and we decided to go.
They started by loading the kids up with sweets.
Nom nom nom.
Once the door opened it was a bit of a mad house. There were dozens of kids looking for a small number of eggs that weren’t really hidden.
Counting up their loot.
The Yows came over to have a play date at our house and to check out the new playground.
The “big” kids got to ride in the wagon.
Daddy was lucky enough to pull the “big” kids the half mile to the playground.
Mary Hubbard was there too but didn’t do as much running and jumping as the other kiddos.
Emerson and Gwynn opened up their own ice cream stand.
Not sure where Luke found that ball…
After the playground it was off to the lake to throw as many rocks into it as possible.
Walking over to see the turtles.
Buddies.
We made another trip to the Tuscaloosa air show to see the Blue Angels, but this time it was a little different. It cost money and we paid a little extra for an “air square”. We still got to ride a school bus to the airport, which the kids usually like.
When they’re awake.
The perfect place for aviator sunglasses.
We had our own place to sit that was reserved, it was quite fancy.
Luke wouldn’t be able to sleep through this outing.
Aunt Jen, Gwynn, and Grandma doing a little exploring.
Ear protection.
It was hard to find water to drink at the air show, they mostly sold Mountain Dew and 5 hour energy.
Here they come!
