Easter 2013!

I'm a little late getting this blog post up...but better late than never I suppose! :)

Here's Emma's picture with the Easter Bunny! Obviously she was less than thrilled, but I was determined to have this picture :)


Unfortunately I had to work until 1pm Saturday afternoon Easter weekend, so we didn't get to Abilene until Saturday evening, and were there barely 24 hours. But we still managed to pack in a lot of fun in such a short amount of time!

Emma had a lot of fun playing in MiMi & Pops' backyard!


Uncle Will & Pops took Emma on a dandelion hunt around the backyard. Emma thought it was a blast! Instead of blowing on the dandelions though, she just shook them until all of their fluffy stuff flew away since the one time she tried to blow on it, she ended up with it all in her mouth... :)




You can tell Uncle Will & Pops were so concerned when she fell while trying to pick a dandelion...

After playing outside for a while, Memaw, Papaw, Aunt Carolyn, & Justin came over for our family Easter dinner! Unfortunately we didn't take any pictures though :(

The next morning when we woke up for church, the Easter Bunny had come for a visit! He left Emma not one, but two different baskets! The first one was from the Easter Bunny from our house, and the second was from the Easter Bunny at MiMi & Pops' house. Emma got lots of things to play with in her new kitchen!



Emma was pretty sleepy, and it took her a few minutes to figure out what was going on :)



Raider & Max were hoping Emma would share her candy :)


Such a cute face :)


Looking at her new pots & pans


Checking out some of her fake food...


...and snacking on her real candy :)


She put some of her m&ms in her new colander...haha! :)


She sure was spoiled by that Easter Bunny!



Not the most flattering picture, but it was the only picture we got of the 3 of us in our Easter Sunday outfits! Posing at MiMi & Pops church in front of their cross the children flowered during the service.


After church, we went to lunch at Grandma & Grandpa Gragg's house! Emma loved the ham & potato salad :)



Such a character! :)


The cool kids' table! Apparently I was the only one who noticed Colton was taking a picture...haha


The rest of the group

A pretty new outfit!


Time for an egg hunt! Emma was more interested in the pool though :P


Luckily Uncle Kenneth was on guard duty!


Emma was really not into the egg hunting...


Giving cousin Cody the ball


She finally picked up an egg! haha!


Uncle Kenneth trying hard to get Emma more interested in hunting eggs





Grandpa had a little talk with Emma about egg hunting, & that seemed to do the trick!




She kept bringing the eggs to him, and he would put them in her basket for her :)






Giving Uncle Kenneth an egg



And then came the confetti eggs!


This picture cracks me up! :)



Emma & Big G


Emma was fascinated by Aunt Hollie's necklace 


Another family pic, this time with the dogs!


The Gragg boys


Between the confetti eggs & Emma, Grandma & Grandpa's backyard was quite the mess!


Emma was exhausted from all the fun, and so was Pops!


After a long nap, it was time for an egg hunt with MiMi & Pops!



MiMi had stuff the eggs with necklaces, which Emma loved, of course! She put on on Pops :)


Putting on another necklace




"Do not touch my eggs!"


Fascinated by the big german shepherds that live next door!



One more egg!



Emma was so tired! She slept the whole way back to Lubbock, and just whined a bit as I changed her into her pj's when we got home. Such a cutie!


We had a great Easter, and we hope y'all did too! :)
