Easter Weekend



We had simply the best weekend celebrating Easter with our family and I guess I am feeling festive and in the mood to blog and share some pics.  

Side note:  I have started printing out my blog into hardback bound books by year and they are the BEST!  They are like a scrapbook, baby book, photo album, and nice book all in one and it makes me SO thankful that I have blogged all of these years and captured our memories.

Rain came on Saturday morning, so the church had their Easter carnival inside.  My boys loved sitting in the Easter Bunny's lap. 




Reid made this precious chick and they also painted crosses.  



Banks and his buddy James,  They will be in Kindergarten at MA together.  




Later that afternoon, the sun came out and we headed to Wynlakes for the egg hunt there.  
My Reid was so precious hunting the eggs in the 3 and under group. 








The had lots of bouncy houses and my boys were all about that!


Sunday morning, we woke up to worship risen Savior!

The bunny had also hopped on by and left some eggs and some goodies.



Breakfast casserole, toast, and fruit  Yum.



We had Children's Church at early service and then stayed for the whole service at 9:45.





Reid and his sweet friend, Jack.  Jack's mommy Mandy is one of my closest friends and so it is fun to watch them play.  




We went to the Butlers for lunch and my sister had made a great lunch!  Sissy and I had on the same dress almost!

The bunny brought them these super fun "suits" to wear on the trampoline and bounce off one another.  It took two people to get it off of me though.  








Pip the pug was on the scene being hilarious and such.  Isn't he the best looking black pug ever?

Growing Up!




 I can't believe how big my boys are getting.  Reid is about to be three and I honestly feel like he should be 3 months, not 3 years.  Goodness.    Banks is 5 and looking so grown up lately.  

I tried to snap a few pics of them today and of course, Banks was very cooperative but Reid, not so much. 






Beignets and Green Pancakes



On Fat Tuesday, we decided to have a movie night and I made a treat for the boys, Beignets.  Thankfully, you can buy the mix at Publix so it was a matter of adding water, rolling out dough and heating some oil to 350 degrees.  I secretly love to fry.   I guess it is a combination of the bubbles, how fast it is, and how yummy it tastes.  Anyway, it was so fun and the boys loved them so much that I made them again for breakfast the next day!  Sad. 




Clearly, we didn't like them at all.  





Today is St. Patrick's Day and following in my Mom's footsteps-- when Daddy is away or not home for dinner, we have breakfast for supper.  

I decided to make green pancakes.  Banks was a little disappointed that I didn't also make green eggs and ham but he was excited about these.
