Easter Weekend

I love Easter...Christmas is my favorite, then it would have to be Easter. My daughter turned 5 years old this month, the 19th. It just does not seem like I have been a mom for 5 years. She is going to look so cute in the Easter outfit Nana & Papa bought her.
I can't wait to take pictures of her. Every year my family...The following...Nana; Papa; Aunt Kim; Uncle Alan (as of about 3 or 4 yrs now); Jennifer (a.k.a."sissy"); Stephen; Zach; Vivien; Uncle Aaron (in Cali. This yr); and myself. We spend the night at Nana & Papa's house on Sat. Night.
Mom fixes dinner and then we all gather around the table and dye EGGS. Yes...Even "us" so called adults. My 2 sisters & myself always get an egg and put our name on it (as if we are going to be the one's in the morning to run out there and find our eggs that we colored. Since 2 of the kids still believe in the "Easter bunny" us big kids get to hide the eggs in my parent's huge back yard.
Then we all get up on Sun. And see what the Easter bunny brought us...When I say "us"...I do mean the 3 grandkids plus my 2 sisters (ages 31 & 24); Me (age 34); and Alan (age 31 I think); we ALL get gifts from the "Easter bunny" too.
My mom is the greatest!!! She thinks of everything.
Then if that excitement was not enough...We all get dressed and ready to take the long 1 hour drive to our Aunt Pam's house in The Colony. Across from her house is this huge field with nothing but grass and dirt (mud if it rains); we get there around 12ish; eat; then the adults go and hide (more like throw) the 1,000's of Easter eggs and candy all over this field.
It is really something to see...We make all the kid's line up and give a "ready,set,go" and about 20 kids take off into the field.
It is lot's of fun...Us big kids get busted every year...Can't we get the "golden egg" that has money in it too!!! :)

Alan is 25 Stephy!
Those eggs helped me and Alan pay for gas money home 2 yrs ago.
