Easter - Part II

Jaime, Jason, Jenna and Joshua

This year for Easter it was really quite fun. Joshua was a little older to partake in the "fun" stuff and we got to hang out with our church family as well as my family. I have to say that this was the first holiday that I didn't miss "home". I think its because as the kids get older, we boecome more involve with stuff and there's really no time to miss it! Anyways, here's how our wonderful Resurection Day Celebration went:

We started out the day by going to church as always. Our little church has an annual egg hunt in which the kids hunt plastic candy-filled eggs. This year Joshua went with Daddy (Jason) to go look for eggs. At first he thought they were bright "balls" and wanted to throw them. But with a little help from daddy he knew what to do with them. It wasn't long before his basket was overflowing! He's too young for the candy, but mommy can take care of that part. He had so much fun that he hides the empty eggs around the house now and looks for them and gets so excited when he finds them!

Jenna didn't really "do" much this year for Easter as she was only 3 1/2 months old. But she did wear her little pink bunny outfit. She had fun just sitting in mommy's arms watching her big brother. I think she will have a great time next year with Joshie looking for the eggs.

After church, we drove up to my parent's house on Lake Conroe. It was awesome this year because Jessica and her little family (Shon and baby Elisha) were there along with Vanessa and her fiancee and Sherrie's brother, Monty, and his family. We had over 20 people! There were some newbies there also from their church and all the girls love playing with Joshie. Of course he was a little flirt too. We had lots of food and fun and of course you can't forget the confetti eggs! Poor Joshie got nailed by his aunties and uncles with confetti. At first it kinda scared him, but then he got used to the idea. Look out for him next year - he'll be looking for you!
