13 gazillion eggggggs!

Do you have any idea how much fun a girl can have with a few eggs?!? I am telling ya - they're more than breakfast food peeps! Our EGGstravagant Easter weekend began Friday night when our family colored about 5 dozen beauties at our house. I had a BLAST using the different dyes and crayons and markers and paint and stickers.... oh, yeah - I created some eggs that were definitely too pretty to make into any deviled delights!!

On Saturday morning... much our surprise, the good 'ole Easter Bunny had visited our house. When I woke up, there was a trail of eggs that began at the door to my room & led all the way down the stairs & into the living room, where a big basket of goodies was waiting for Ardynn and me. What a good guy that bunny is, because not only did he leave us some way cool stuff, but he also hid a big bundle of eggs in our back yard. After a little breakfast, it was all the adults could do to keep me from busting out the back door. I hunted relentlessly until I'd picked up every last egg that bunny left. I'll give you 3 guesses as to what all of the plastic eggs had in them....... that's right - CANDY!!! (and a few with fruit rollups, goldfish, and fruit snacks, too - just in case I get tired of the candy... haha - never.) And don't you worry.... since Ardynn is still too itty bitty to search for herself, I made sure that she had a few eggs in her basket, too ;o). On Saturday afternoon, we went out the Great Uncle Ray & Aunt Joyce's house for another Easter celebration. There were tons of good family and friends... I had a blast playing with all of the kiddos and Ardynn was very, very, very well loved on by all of the people there, too.

Sunday was a special day... we woke up and got all dolled up in our new blue dresses that mommy picked out for us and headed to church to celebrate a most blessed day. After church, we took a few photos at Popi & Gingi's house before heading to Abilene to celebrate with..... you guessed it..... more EGG hunting! Gingi's family lives in Abilene and every year they have a rather large Easter celebration at Great Grandma & Grandpa Jacques's house. Because we've lived in Tennessee during every Easter since I've been around, I had not been able to experience the madness in Abilene before, but I certainly made up for it this year. I hunted candy & eggs until my little legs could hardly carry me any more & picked up enough candy to rot out every last tooth in my head. Aaahhh... it was great! Once again... Ardynn enjoyed all of the attention & love (that baby better be glad that I'm willing to share the spotlight... hehehe!)

What a fantastic Easter we had... God gave us some beautiful weather & we were able to enjoy a blessed weekend with all of our wonderful family & friends... hope you did the same!
