We had a fabulous Easter weekend spending time with both sides of the family.
We went to Belton on Saturday to see the Dudley side (Meemaw, Tiff, Chad and Gordon). It's so fun to spend time with them and not have a real schedule to have to attend to. Originally we were only going to stay part of the day, but then decided to stay for dinner, too. It was a ton of fun, especially now that Gordon is able to interact and play a lot more.
Tiff was making homemade playdoh when we arrived. They had so much fun playing with it, and it has been a favorite at our house ever since then. I guess I had better look up the recipe!
Gordon didn't seem to get too far from Colin all afternoon. He thought Colin was pretty cool (and obviously we agree!)
I was joking with Tiff that these two look more like siblings than my two do!
Gordon watching Colin very intently - you can almost see the wheels turning! :)
"and this, is how you make a very cool playdoh ball"
"and this, is how you stick toothpicks into your playdoh ball"
Gordon wanting to give it a try for himself
We brought Moose along with us - they have such a huge backyard, and plus their dog Scooter and Moose like to play -
Moose was wanting some of Colin's bacon :)
I love Gordon's toothy smile right now
We did an Easter egg hunt outside - it was just a beautiful day!
Even Gordon did a little egg hunt of his own
He was so proud of himself whenever he found one
After dinner, we made it back to our house and got ready for Easter morning.
The kids had a blast looking for eggs again and enjoyed a little bit of breakfast candy
They each got a 'money egg' which had $5 in it.
That's quite the loot - they immediately put it in their lock boxes. Such good savers!
After 10:00 mass, we went to Grammie and Grandad's house for brunch and yet another Easter egg hunt. It's so much fun to search for eggs!
Youngest to oldest - listening to Grammie's directions and waiting for Daniel so the egg hunt could begin!
Maggie squealed and ran as fast as she could whenever she found an egg. It was so cute to watch!

Definitely counting our blessings this year - the Lord is good!
