HAPPY EASTER, EVERYONE

Happy Easter


AJ's first Easter outfit. Doesn't he look handsome?


His first Easter Basket


Mommy cracked open the egg to get the surprise, he loved to hear the "pop" of the egg opening.



Mommy and AJ all dressed up.

OK, the rest of the pics are sort of out of sinc, but it's so hard to put more pictures on here. They come up in the wrong order! So forgive me.
Jackson won the secret egg this year, showing his surprise.
Some of them were hidden pretty good, even Daddy was helping to look!

Mommy helped Jackson in the high places to look.

Jackson helping to make the salad for lunch before the egg hunt.


Nana taking a break with AJ, getting ready to hunt for eggs with his cousin Jackson. All of the other grandkids were with their Mom or with their own family, too far away to make it for a short weekend trip, so it was a pretty quiet Easter. We enjoyed the adult children and conversation though.

Coloring Easter Eggs


Mommy, what are we doing?


We are going to color Easter Eggs to celebrate Easter!


First you take this round thing and hang on to it .....
Ut-Ohhh
It's a lot heavier than it looks!

I dropped my first Easter egg, Mommy!!!!
That's Ok AJ, it will be OK.

NEXT



Now we just write something on the egg with this crayon.


And then you drop it into the cup with colored water.
(Yea, right, OK Mom)

And then you end up with a beautiful colored egg!

A couple of weekends ago, we got to enjoy another visit from Pat and Kevin. It was a bittersweet visit. The kids grandfather had passed away and they came to Michigan for the funeral. We did get to visit for the day and help celebrate the life of Loyal Lewis.

Jeff, Sonya and Gabby came to visit at Uncle Mel's for awhile too.

And don't forget little Kevin. They have not seen each other in years.

Gabby holding AJ, she was sick when he first got home and didn't get the chance to hold her newest cousin.

Steve took a turn at holding the baby, but he said, "No!" when asked if it put him in the mood to have another little one!!!

Cherri and AJ, it satisfied her Baby Fever too. Only grandbabies she said.
We all helped celebrate the life and memory of Loyal Lewis at his son's that night. Good stories, good times.
