Easter

The Saturday before Easter, we headed down to Prattville to see my family. Their church was having Egg-citement that day, so we all attended.

After Egg-citement we headed to my parent's house so the kids could play & have an Easter egg hunt.

Jake insisted on hunting with 2 baskets

After the egg hunt, the kids played up & down the driveway all afternoon long

Wrestling with Gran

My poor dad, I think the grand kids think he is just a big cousin

My sister got the kids a kite. So they decided to try to fly it.
On a day with no wind. Not winning.

After multiple failed attempts, my oldest niece Maddox asked
Aunt Lindsey how much the kite cost.

Aunt Lindsey also got them Easter glasses

Maddox actually got the kite up the highest

Happy Easter!

"Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." 1 Peter 1:3

Side note unrelated to the beautiful meaning of Easter: The Friday before Easter, I take Jake to get a haircut. His hair grows so fast & before you know it, it just looks long & stringy. Especially in the summer when he sweats. So I decided to go for a new hairstyle for him (do 3-year-old boys have hairstyles?). The result (as seen in the pictures above), is he looks like the long lost brother of Shiloh Jolie-Pitt (as seen below).
