Easter 2010

We had a Glorious Easter weekend this year! The boys really understood it more this year, they loved hunting eggs and waiting for the Easter Bunny. We went to one of my oldest friends house Friday and let all the kids play and dye eggs...I agree with her post here that it is so special for old friends to get together with our kids and watch them play when it seems not so long ago we were having slumber parties joking around about the days our kids would play together! Saturday we went to my parent's house for a family crawfish boil, great day, great food, great company! The cousins had so much fun together, dying eggs, hunting eggs, playing drums on the pots and eating! Sunday we opened Easter baskets, I think out of all the cool things the boy's favorites were ZsuZsu pets and a Mickey Mouse PEZ dispenser! Mawmaw and Pawpaw met us at church for a great service. We have been visiting Salem Heights Baptist church for awhile now and that is where I take H and H for Mother's Day Out so it is great that they are familiar with everyone and run into the 2-year old class when we get there and never look back! After church we had lunch and an Easter egg hunt with the Nelson family and home to nap. I was EXHAUSTED! That night we went to the Easter program at Salem Heights and it was truly GLORIOUS! We were so impressed and moved by the talented and extravagant performance, after years of hearing the story we learned details of the Crucifixion and Resurrection that we did not know before. My babies were so sweet and well-behaved this weekend they made it so fun!

While egg hunting Harrison decided that A.) he did not want real eggs in his basket, they were heavy and had no treat inside, so if he found one he would either put it back or give it to Hudson. B.) all he really needed was the treat, plastic egg halves weren't important so he would take the candy or prize out and put the shell back or put it in Hudson's basket. Hudson thought it was great...more eggs for him!

The crawfish were so good, Dean used a spice mix recipe from Southern Living it was fresh and yummy!
