Easter, part 2

After church on Sunday, we went to my aunt's house to celebrate Easter with my mom's family.  I brought cupcakes, of course. Thank you, David, for baking them, twice, for me.
While I was at the Galveston Ward party, he baked them for me but I told him the wrong time for how long to bake them so they burned.  The second time, after he went out and bought more ingredients, he baked them while I took a nap, being pregnant is draining. SO thank you again, David!

My aunt had a volleyball net set up and somehow, David ripped his shorts!

Time for another Easter egg hunt!




Confetti eggs

As soon as we left my aunt's house, Norah fell asleep again for about an hour.  Unfortunately, it took us about 5 1/2 hours to get home.  It usually takes us just under 4 hours.  There was a lot of traffic getting out of Galveston and there was an accident on I-45 around Dickensen.  It may have been even longer but the speed limit on I-10 recently changed to 75, even at night. We were glad to finally get home.

Easter, part 1

We got to have 3 Easter Egg hunts this year.  The first one was at the Galveston Ward.  They had it divided between the babies up to 3 years on one side of the church, and the older children on the other side of the church.

After Norah had filled the bottom of her basket, she just walked away.  She told me, "I have enough eggs already, Mama."

 Later that day, we went to the Yeates' house to celebrate Easter with the Hurst side of the family. It was lots of fun and we had another Easter egg hunt.


 Confetti eggs are fun!


Maybe we had a little bit too much fun. :)

Miniature Golf!


We took Norah mini-golfing for the first time and she had a great time. When I was trying to explain to her what golfing was and I described how the ball has to go in the hole, she said, "But I don't want to fall into the hole!" I had to tell her the hole was very little so she didn't have to worry. :)

Bluebonnets

Thanks to the wonderful weather this spring, we had some beautiful wildflowers springing up everywhere.  We had to capture the beauty of these flowers.

Norah had to be very brave to sit up here. It was a very high wall.
