Easter:Part 2

We had another wonderful Easter spending time with our family this year. We were greeted at the door of my grandparents house in Mooreland with a Styrofoam box with "Ducks and Kids only stay little for a little while..." written on it. Hhhhmmmm, I thought surely there is not a duck in there. Leave it to my parents to get the kids a duck for Easter. This isn't the first time we have made it home with a new pet. So far they have generously gave the kids a fish and a bunny (without running the ideas past us first), and I'm afraid this won't be the last pet Nana and Papa will give. I think this will be a running joke in our family for awhile...what pet will we have next? All joking aside, I know these memories will be this things that will stick with our kids forever and will be able to tell their kids about some day.

I love visiting my grandparents house for Easter, or really any holiday. This is where so many of my childhood memories are and it's so neat to see my kids now enjoying the same traditions as I did when I was young. We had so much fun coloring eggs, going to church, and of course eating my grandma's most delicious Easter dinner!

With a little soap and water (and comet) it did come off


She was REALLY into coloring and decorating her eggs -too cute!

Livi loved her eggs too

Nick was very creative with the invisible crayon this year. On one of his eggs he wrote "MOM, I LOVE YOU".

They loved their Easter present from Nana and Papa!
