Easter Preparations

The old saying, "a woman's work is never done" seems most appropriate on holidays.  There is always so much to do from shopping to cooking to keeping up with traditions so they are special for the little ones.   Even though I worked most of the day on Easter preparations,  it was fun and I got everything done in time for Camden and I to sit down together and watch The King's Speech.  It was an awesome movie by the way.  I love having Sophie around to help me in the kitchen.  She loves to help me  cook and I love that I can share this time with my sweet little girl. 

Getting the eggs dyed

Sophie and I love wearing our matching aprons.

Which came first, Daddy or the egg?

Baking....baking....baking....

Cupcakes are ready.  I hope they taste as good as they look.

Even though holidays can be a lot of work,   I love them.  I know that it is a way to bless my family and show them how much I care.  

The Easter Bunny

Today Mom and I took

Sophie pleading with Mamoo to hurry.

Sophie to  the mall to see the Easter Bunny.   We got her and her doll all dressed up and headed out.    She loved visiting Santa at Christmas time and couldn't wait to sit on the bunnies lap.    Sophie had to wait for mom and I to make a few purchases on the way and she was not very patient.  She kept telling us, " go see bunny now!"  She is not shy at all.  She ran  right up and hopped in his lap and began telling him her name and that I was her mamma.   She was so cute.

Papaw and JoJo

For several months now Papaw Butch and Jojo have been taking all of out to dinner at least once per month.  We typically meet at Wicks Pizza (yum)!   I look forward to these dinners and really appreciate the time and love they are giving to us and  their grandkids.  It's tough to get everyone together.  The boys are all getting so big.  Sandy is out of town  a lot with her work.   Madison and Alex have jobs but we all try to make it when we can and we miss the ones who can't.  I love hearing Camden and his Dad laugh and enjoy a beer together and watching Sophie get teased by her papaw as he tries to sneak stuff off her plate.  I'm already looking forward to the next time we will be getting together!
