Easter Weekend

Our Easter weekend started off with a trip to South Carolina to have lunch and visit with family.  It was a crowd of my favorite people and I spent so much time enjoying myself that I forgot to take any pictures.  So, I missed snapping away when Livie decided dip her feet into the pool with sweet cousin Lauren, "just one more time" after about 20 "one more times".  I missed getting shots of baby Ace crawling around the sunroom and charming my grandmas.  I missed taking pictures of the food.  Oh, the food.  It was so good.  My mouth is watering from homemade mac n cheese, ham with brown sugar, angel biscuits, casseroles and sweet tea all over again.  Southern goodness I tell ya. 

I forgot to capture the moments of Livie playing on the playground at the Outlets during an impromtu stop off on our way home.  And insisting that she ride the mechanical horsey.  Which she had to just sit on since we didn't have a quarter (I left my change purse in the car - which was about a mile away).  She didn't care much though.  Sometimes just sitting up there is enough.  At least when you are 2 it is. 

I also forgot to take pictures of the Easter baskets that our favorite bunny left outside of Livie's & Ace's bedrooms.  I missed the look on Livie's face when she realized the "he" had been to our house.  At first when I told her that I tought I had seen the Easter bunny at our house, she jumped out of bed and peered out her window the see if she could spot him.  No luck.  She said, "I bet I can see him from the downstairs window."  She bounded out of her room and there they were.  Two baskets filled with goodies.  One for her and one for Ace.  She was so excited!  She grabbed Ace's basket, crashed open his door and woke him up with her joy.  It was fantastic!

What I did take pictures of this weekend was this:

Livie coloring Easter eggs.  She's an expert with dye now.  Is that good or bad?

See how pretty!  The cool ones on the right where from my neighbor, Johanna, and were dyed using onion skins, a leaf and pantyhose.  Who knew?

I also caught the little man in all of his mess making glory.

He's quite proud of his talent.

And the lady is quite proud of her driving abilities.  Something she definately gets from her Daddy.

So I didn't take pictures of everything, but I've got some wonderful memories anyway.  I hope you had a wonderful Easter.

Thank you Jesus for making it all possible.
