Happy Easter














This year I decided to go for a lake theme for our Easter Baskets. After two seasons for Caroline and three for Thomas on their old life jackets it was time for new ones. So, they both got new life jackets and swim suits as well as a variety of fun stuffed eggs! They were both really excited about their baskets.

We decided this year to stay in Plano. We always seem to be so busy and just needed a low key weekend! Our friends Katie, Kirk and Olivia (who is too cute)came and spent the day with us. Andy cooked steaks and we had scalloped potatoes, watergate salad and okra (at Thomas's request).

After lunch the kids decided it was time to hunt some Easter eggs. The guys went out and hid them and the kids were ready to go. Kirk told the kids that the one who got the most he would give them 2.00. It was as if Caroline understood exactly what he said because she goes and starts putting empty eggs into her basket before the hunt even begins. I think she may have a bit of her mom in her (very competitive).
Side Note: On Thursday when I went to get the kids at PC-Caroline's teachers told me she was great at hunting I just assumed they were being nice...but, she is really good!

So, back to the hunt-Thomas likes to find an egg, then eat all the fun things out of it before moving on. Caroline-likes to get as many as she can...it is funny to see the difference in the two....here are some pics from Easter Sunday!!
