The weekend prior to Easter we visited Grandma and Grandpa Langum and Avery Reese got the pleasure to dye eggs with Grandma T. She had fun, but would have had more fun if Grandma would have let go of the reins a little more.
Helping Grandma with the dyed eggs......being extra careful not to touch the wet eggs
Eating breakfast Grandma style......powdered donuts

That same weekend we visited my best friend Amber who recently gave birth to a sweet baby boy Elliot Gregory. And we also took Avery Reese to her first Razorback football game. It was the spring practice game, but still a lot of fun.
The weekend of Easter we took Avery Reese to a local softball park to go on an Easter egg hunt, but I think she preferred the playground instead of hunting. It was very cloudy and the ground was 'soupy', but I dressed her in her Easter outfit and just crossed my fingers she decided not to roll around in the mud. She had a great time hunting the eggs with Brad, but was really interested to double and triple checking that each egg had some sort of candy inside. (I think I was more competitive than Brad was this year). After inspecting all her goodies she wanted to play on the playground again, but this time she was really brave and slide down the two big slides! She is growing up so fast and wants to be so independent these days. (I know come October I will relish in her independence, but today I still want my baby girl).

Easter Sunday was wonderful, again the rain held off. Avery Reese enjoyed the gifts the Easter Bunny left her including a baby doll that swims in the bath and lots and lots of chocolate!Brad's mom, brother and our future sister in law joined us at church for a touching sermon. And afterwards we had an amazing Easter feast and Katie even joined in on the fun. Praise God for his glorious gifts!
