We recently went to Texas to celebrate Easter with my family, since I had to work Easter weekend in Arkansas. We had a blast watching Raylee hunt Easter eggs and play with her cousins. She enjoyed playing outside, riding the gator with Landon, and playing with my parents new dog. We enjoyed getting to spend some quality time with my family, while Nate was at a scoliosis seminar.
When Sunday rolled around, Nathan was able to enjoy the day with us. We woke up that morning and looked to see what the Easter bunny brought her. She was ecstatic and really didn't know what to play with. She is currently into Dora and Diego and loved her new socks and all her new learning items and puzzles. Then, we ate lunch with everyone and got the cake walk ready for everyone to play. Then the big hunt happened. Raylee would look under bushes and dried cow patties for eggs, she would get so excited when she would find an egg, however she wouldn't touch the eggs that were covered in "germs". Then, we did the cake walk which was lots of fun. Everyone really enjoys this game so much. I was in charge of the music and calling out the winning number. Everyone would win something of their choice. Raylee would jump up and down and yell every time regardless if it was her number called or not and go choose a prize. It was too cute.
Then this weekend I got off work on Sunday morning and headed home to get dressed and head south to Casa, AR to see my husbands side of the family. We really enjoyed getting to see everyone. The lunch was great and everyone enjoyed getting to chat and hang around. Nate's mom which Raylee calls, "Nana" got raylee a Easter package with jelly beans, cookies and bath confetti. Grannie gave Raylee money and a sucker and this really neat bowl that won't ever spill. Raylee thought it was a space ship. Aunt Kim and John gave a Raylee a big purple chick, which she enjoyed saying the sounds a chick makes. Aunt Trish bought Raylee a basket full of goodies, with eggs, coloring books, crayons, money eggs, and her favorite chocolates.
After everyone was stuffed from a great lunch, Aunt Trish played the Easter bunny and hid eggs outside for Raylee and Hudson to hunt. Raylee found the most eggs, however I think next year Hudson will put up a bigger fight (since he doesn't crawl yet), I do believe he enjoyed himself putting the eggs into his mouth and playing with his basket. Aunt Trish gave them all sorts of prizes for finding the prize eggs. Then we tried our best to get pictures of them together. We said our goodbyes and headed home since I had to work tonight.
Happy Easter!
