Easter Weekend

We had a very full 4-day Easter weekend. We got a lot done, and had a lot of fun, but I am tired! Casey and I were both off on Thursday, so we headed down to Austin to get some baby stuff for the nursery. (as soon as I hang the artwork I have, I will post pics of the nursery!) On Friday Casey's parents, his sister and her family, and my mom and sister Emily all headed into town. We decided to meet up in Waco at the Cameron Park Zoo. The weather didn't look very promising, but we decided to go anyway, and I'm glad we did! It was overcast and not very crowded at all! Kailey and Caden had a good time looking at the animals, and they didn't even mind that they had 9 adults tagging along with them. (that zoo made a killing off of us!) Here are a few pics from the zoo:







On Saturday, we went to an Easter Egg Hunt at First Baptist Belton. (Our church didn't have one this year :( ) It was fun. They also did the Easter story for the kids using resurrection eggs, which was pretty cool.







On Saturday afternoon and evening we made Easter bunny cookies, did an Easter egg craft, and dyed Easter eggs. If you'll take a look at this post from last year, it is pretty amazing to see the difference! She was way more into dyeing the eggs this year, and had a lot more fun!










On Easter morning, Kailey woke up and found her basket full of Easter goodies. She was pretty excited about all of it. She got this book called "That's not my bunny.." which is very similar to this one that she has called "That's not my puppy..". It was so funny because she got it out of her basket and started "reading" it..("Thas not my bunny!!"...) as if she knew the words. Then she pulled out her blue stuffed lamb and said " Oh lamb! Old Macdonal has a farmer....LAMBS! Baa here Baa there eieio..". It was cute!




Then we all got dressed in our traditional color-coordinated easter outfits. This year it was purple and green. First, here is last year's picture: (If you want to do some more comparing..check out this post from last year)



And here are some from this year:



And finally...we had one final Easter egg hunt in our yard for Kailey, Caden, and Caden's half-sister Jade. It was pretty wet, due to the rain that morning, but we made it work. The kids either didn't want to touch the eggs because they were wet, or they opened them and dumped the jelly-beans on the ground and ate them!





Ok, so maybe now you can see why I am so tired!
