Easter Weekend

Saturday~

On Saturday Uncle Scott, Aunt Lora, cousins Taylor and Rachel came over for a visit. This was such a treat because with 3 teenagers in their family, their schedules are really crazy and we don't get to just hang out with them very often. Usually we get to see each other at one sporting event or another, so it was extra special to spend a whole day together. Aunt Lora and mommy went to the antique mall and had so much fun, it was good for mommy to get out of the house for a few hours!


Ever since Dayton was a toddler we have left carrots and lettuce out for the Easter Bunny. Also the Easter Bunny calls the house the night before.


Taylor , Dayton and Daddy posing for mommy, it is hard to get a picture of these guys without one of them doing something crazy to the other one. This is a rare shot. Just for the record, Uncle Mark is still taller, not by much though. Good news, Dayton is taller than Aunt Lora!

Myah loved having cousin Rachel to play with, she was getting ready for bed here and had to show Rachel her pretty fans.

Easter Sunday~
We woke up Sunday morning and Myah was not in a good mood. She did not speak a word for about an hour. I knew that this was going to be the "worst day" that the Dr's kept talking about. She didn't even say anything when the Easter Bunny brought her a Dora big wheel bike! I knew she must have been hurting when she saw the big chocolate bunny and just smiled. Normally this would be a big deal to her! So we gave her some pain meds and she came around eventually. We went to the beautiful Easter service at our church and she actually sat with me almost the whole time! After we left church we had every intention of grilling out at our house, just us, I had even set a pretty dinner table. However, as we pulled out of our church's parking lot, we got sentimental and really wanted to spend the day with family. So we called my sister Melanie and asked if there were a few extra places to sit and of course she said there were. So we headed up north for a few hours. It was so nice to get out of the house! It also started to snow while we were there , we just bring it with us I swear! We usually are in Florida for Easter so it was nice to spend it with our family once again. Dayton is now on Spring Break and we are hoping to do some fun family activities this week. Poor little guy has to have his two teeth pulled on Wed. morning. On Friday Mark and Myah both have their post op Dr. appointments with their surgeons so hopefully after this week we can put our medical issues behind us!


Look at what the Easter Bunny brought!

Look at her Dora bike! She loves it!

Dayton was excited to get the two books that he had asked for!

My little sweeties, I love to take pictures outside but due to the 5 inches of snow on the ground, it didn't happen!

Grandpa was making it rain "Easter grass" for the girls, they had so much fun!

I'm so glad that you got to spend Easter with your family! I'm also so glad that you were able to get out with Lora and that you all had a good time with their family as well. It's great to see pictures of Myah all dressed up and even smiling a bit. Hopefully she'll be back to 100% very soon.
