Notice Heath’s hot pink rain boots.  He loves wearing Audrey’s boots!

Hunting for Easter eggs is exhausting….drama queen!

It was almost a rain-out, but it finally stopped raining long enough for us to go to my grandma’s for our annual Easter egg hunt.  This was my 35th Easter egg hunt at Grandma’s!  No matter what other options, yards, whatever, might be available, my Grandma’s yard will always be the perfect place for Easter egg hunts, no one could convince me otherwise.  Such special memories, especially of PaPa.  He loved candy and he loved the Easter egg hunt every year.  He was so much fun and I know he is always on everyone’s mind every year at our Easter egg hunt.

One funny Audrey story, at every Easter egg hunt, I had to convince her to pick up any egg or candy she found.  She only wanted to pick up the pink ones!  I’m sure that doesn’t surprise anyone who knows my sweet girl very well.

Easter morning was a little different this year because Jeff had to work Sad smile. I was kind of feeling sorry for myself to start the morning because it just seemed wrong without Jeff there, but thinking about the reason we are actually celebrating on Easter and the ultimate sacrifice that was made so that we could live, kind of put things in perspective for me. We attended two lovely church services with our families and Audrey was a very good girl. One thing I missed this year were those traditional Easter hymns~ I like all the new stuff too, but there are times when “He Lives” and all the other hymns I grew up singing, especially on Easter, are just called for….

Easter weekend started with a Baugh family gathering in Telephone.  The kids had so much fun hunting Easter eggs.  There was so much candy!  At one point they all became fascinated with a Lady Bug Sunnie found.  Audrey loved it and let it crawl all over her, but her little cousin wanted nothing to do with it.  The Lady Bug was great fun until Audrey squeezed it a little too tight….nearly a week later, we are still looking for a replacement Lady Bug, I bet she’s mentioned it 100 times!  Where are all the Lady Bugs when you need them?!

Happy Easter

We started off Easter weekend the best way we could think of, enjoying the beautiful weather and coloring some eggs.  Audrey had lots of fun and of course, loved the pink most, so we ended up with plenty of pink Easter eggs!

Fun with Hope
