Abbie doesn't mind stopping for some chocolate!

Let me see...what kind of candy's in here?

We had a great Easter this year! The weather was really nice and we were glad that Matt's family could come and visit. We were able to be with some of each of our families. They left on Tuesday to head back home. On Wednesday, we were able to enjoy hanging out with the Gray's at the park. The only downside was that it was really WINDY and a little chilly at times. The girls had a great time swinging and sliding together. I wish that I had remembered to bring my camera! They all swung on the tire swing at the same time. The older girls were all really sweet about helping Abbie.

Sophie hunts for eggs in Nana & Paw-paw's yard

Just before Easter, we were able to get together with the Grisso's and the Walker's for a playdate at the playground. The kids enjoyed playing outside even though it got pretty warm that day. We also had a picnic lunch. The kids had a great time being silly together. I was glad that we could get together because our schedules don't usually match!

Over Easter weekend, Matt's parents and his sister, Leia, were able to come in and visit us. His mom is off for Spring Break this week. On Sunday after church, we went over to Nana & Paw-paw's house for an egg hunt, then a little treasure hunt to find their Easter surprises (from Nana & Paw-paw), and then we had a wonderful lunch. Thanks to Nana for an awesome lunch! Abbie was so funny hunting eggs because as she found each one, she stopped to eat the candy before going on. Sophie really enjoyed the treasure hunt where Nana had drawn pictures telling her where to go next.

Sophie was still in school this week but Matt was able to pick her up before naptime on Monday so that he, Paw-paw Tom, and Aunt Leia could go and visit the zoo with Sophie. We also did a few little projects around the yard while they were in town. Sophie got a new bike with training wheels and she is so proud that she's learning to ride it. I'll try to include a picture soon! We went back to one of our favorite places, Chuy's, for dinner on Monday night. We're trying to make sure that everyone in the family tries it (really we just like having an excuse to go back). I love the creamy jalapeno dip among other things there. =)
