Hippity, Hoppity . . . . Happy Easter!!!

We sure hope everyone had a fantastic Easter! We have had all sorts of festivities going on between Saturday and this evening! We are Eastered Egged out I believe! I have no idea how I am going to choose pictures for this blog! We have taken over 180 since Saturday!!! Can you believe that? me neither!!!
Well first let's start out with a little tummy time picture of Ms. Bright Eyes!
On Saturday morning we got up and headed over to G.A.N.'s house (Great Aunt Nana). We had lunch with Pop's side of the family and the cousins had a super-dee-duper Egg Hunt! Davis and his cousin Parker (only 6 weeks younger than Davis) had much rather play with all the toys than pick up eggs! We got the look, "if you want the eggs, then you pick them up! Can't you see we are playing here?" Davis managed to score a few eggs with Easter loot! He also got Easter suprises from the aunts! We had a blast everyone!!! Too bad we can't get the kids together more often!

Here is Ms. Marleigh being held by her big cousin Caroline! It won't be long til they are playing together! Caroline is a big girl and fell quickly in love with her new cousin!
Here's Daddy giving Davis a little help with a hard to reach egg! "Thanks Dad!"
Marleigh refrained from showing off this year and finding all the eggs! Here she is spotted hanging out with Mimi! Mimi pulled her ACL the weekend before chasing after D. So needless to say Marleigh and Mimi were a perfect match for relaxing!

On Saturday night we had a wonderful dinner at Tim's parents' house. They had Easter goodies for the kiddos, and Marleigh got to see her bed there for the first time! Nana and Poppa even watched the kids while Tim and I ran out to find some last minute clothes to wear to church the next day!


Here's Nana and Marleigh. Marleigh's bed is in the background!

Here is Davis doing his FAVORITE thing at Nana and Poppa's, playing with his blocks basket! If you look closely you will see that's Poppa inside the basket!!!

Look who stopped in our neck of the woods? The bunny left some mighty fun loot for the Henson kiddos!

Mommy and Marleigh Easter Sunday Morning



Daddy and Davis Easter Sunday Morning!


Our First Easter as a family of 4!

The above photo was taken at my grandparents house after church on Sunday! We had a delicious lunch, and then we had an egg hunt for Davis, Conley, and Kristen! Davis and Conley are two peas in a pod! They love each other to death! Conley is a sweet older cousing, he spent some of his egg hunting time helping Davis find eggs!

Here is Davis and Conley together!
Here is an upclose shot of Ms. Marleigh! She is wearing MY first Easter dress!
Mimi and Pops came over Easter evening and brough D and Marleigh their Easter treats! Mommy is very excited about Marleigh's new glow-worm! Mommy had a glow-worm that she loved when she was a baby! Davis has been watching the Bee Movie, and Mommy loves it as much as D does!!! Needless to say Easter treats from the grandparents are literally ALL OVER the house!!! Thank you Mimi and Pops and Nana and Poppa! Mommy is going to go CRAZY! :)

Neighborhood Gang!

So tonight we had our annual neighborhood groupy hunt! Thank you SO much to Adam, Heather, and Mr. Hunter for opening your house and your yard! We had a few new kids on the block this year! Ms. Emersyn and Ms. Gracie joined us along with new additions Marleigh and loverboy Hayden!
Everyone adults and children included had a blast! The cold weather didn't stop the kiddos from hunting! They were ready to go! This year Davis had the orange eggs and Marleigh had the little pink eggs! Mommy the mother hen kept Marleigh in from the cold and allowed her to have some along time with Mr. Hayden! Big brother Davis collected sissy's eggs for her!
Here's the boys raring to go! (Hunter, Jack, and Davis)


Here's the Divas with their Daddys!
