Easter 2013

Easter was super fun this year! We started off celebrating at Highland Day School on Thursday. The kids hunted eggs and got their pics taken with the Easter Bunny. It was a beautiful day, perfect for the day's festivities! And after a week of freezing cold temps, it was perfect timing!

Case with his buddy, Cole

Case's class

Not sure about all of this at first....

We bribed her with chocolate!

On Good Friday, we flew to Austin Texas to see James' sister, Sarah, and her family. James' parents had driven down earlier in the week so we were all together for the long weekend and we had the best time. The kids absolutely loved playing together, I enjoyed being a baby hog and we all just enjoyed spending quality time together. Wish we could see them more often!

It was Emery's first time on an airplane and she did great but we were very thankful for a very brief and direct flight! :)

Watching a little Dora

Did I mention how great the kids played together? There really was no fighting over toys or attention. Just a lot of playing hard and having a ball! It is such a blessing having so many cousins close in age.

Emery and Eli made fast friends. Eli never let her leave his sight. Sweet cousins!!

Case got a shiner on the very first day playing so hard. Didn't phase him for a second!

And of course one of the main reasons we were there was to meet our five month old niece, Hadley! Oh. My. Goodness. She was the sweetest and best behaved baby I have EVER been around. She might have gone the entire weekend without crying. All she does is smile. Love this little miracle baby so much! We are so thrilled to finally have another girl in the family!

Two words...BABY FEVER!

And as if we didn't have enough to celebrate, we squeezed in a little early birthday celebration for Emery. Aunt Sarah even ordered her a Dora cake which was a huge hit!
