Happy Easter!

As a Christian, nothing could mean more than this day! Now as a mother, nothing could be more fun than celebrating this special day! Since Lillian was only 3 months old last year, we consider this her first real Easter and I think it's safe to say she loved every minute of it. She started her day by coming into the den and seeing that the Easter bunny had made a stop at our house and left her some great toys. Then, we went to Mimi and Pop's lake house where Lillian got to play with all of her cousins and participate in her first Easter egg hunt. I don't think I have ever seen a child as happy as she was to be running around all day with the "big kids" and they were all so sweet to include her. She was so exhausted that she slept - and SNORED - the entire way back to Birmingham. What an amazing day!

The Easter bunny left Lillian some fun toys...

Not sure she knew what to make of it at first...
Mom and Lillian...

Lillian and her cousins (we had changed into some egg-hunting clothes :))...

She wasted no time at all starting the hunt...

She actually found lots of eggs - to our surprise!...

A snack after all that fun. (Notice she is double-dipping into crunchers and yogurt melts)...

I love the pictures! I am not at all surprised that Lillian loved the egg hunt... Trent hated it of course! HA!

She was on the move. Love it! I also love that some of the kids had on swimsuits to hunt their eggs! Good times. I think Lillian and HC have the same shoes.

Oh Brandi... Those kids don't have on their swimsuits to hunt egg, they have them on because they went SWIMMING! I cannot imagine how cold that lake water was, but they all swam for most of the day - crazy!
