Easter Weekend

Stratton spent Thursday night and Friday with his Gigi and Pops, since Gigi was off work for Good Friday. Then Saturday afternoon one of the guys that Jarrod works with was getting married, so Jarrod’s mom and dad came down and we all went to the wedding then went to dinner. Jarrod barely made it! He worked all day Saturday with the exception of a couple of hours for the wedding, then he went back out again. Stratton and I went on to Hickory Ridge, since we had so much stuff for Easter and my mom’s birthday which was on Easter this year! Jarrod worked late, and was afraid he might get called out in the middle of the night, so he stayed home and decided to meet us at church in the morning.

Easter Morning! Stratton got up about 6:30am

EB got him some books and games and all sorts of stuff!

Gigi asked if she could have a bite of his Choc. Bunny. .

No way! He said it’s Mine! He’s been talking about the EB bringing him a chocolate bunny for weeks!

We got ready and went to church, where Jarrod met us. After church we had my mom snap a few pictures of the 3 of us. This time next year there will be 4?!

Then we changed clothes and headed to Grandma’s house for lunch with the family and birthday for my mom! After lunch and birthday cake, we hunted eggs. Stratton was the only kid- poor guy! But Uncle Dillon hid a bunch of egg for him to find. It was pretty cool outside (isn’t it always on Easter??) but he still had fun finding the eggs and playing outside!

Taking a break with Pops

I said “Stratton, smile!” and this is what I got. . .

I got several good pictures- which is rare!!

Playing on the tire swing

Pops even tried to jump on. . .haha

We love playing at Grandma and Grandpa’s house!!

I love this picture of their yard- so pretty and green!

After playing for awhile we went back to my mom and dads and gathered up all our stuff and headed home. Stratton didn’t even make it out of town before he was passed out! And I didn’t make it much further down the road and I was asleep to! We quickly changed clothes and cleaned up and made it to church just in time. You could tell all the kiddos at church had a big day, as it seemed like they were all pretty cranky! We didn’t have Children’s church since most of the older kids had just got back from Lads to Leaders. After church we went to eat at Blue Coast with our group and then went home, exhausted!! It was a busy weekend, but we are so blessed to have our families close by to spend it with!
