Happy Easter!

Hope everyone had a Happy Easter. We really enjoyed ours with our families, and it was fun to have Raleigh here with us this year. Cole and Raleigh both looked adorable as usual. We bought Cole a dress shirt and matching tie to wear, but we just assumed that everything would be fine. Well, Easter morning we were getting them dressed for church, and to our surprise, the tie was made for possibly an infant!! The dumb thing stopped at about midway down Cole's chest! You would think a 4T shirt would have a tie to accommodate the length. It looked ridiculous, and of course, we went into panic mode because we had no idea what to do. Fortunately, we still have his tie he wore last year and it matched just fine, so he wore that. Raleigh had on a beautiful white dress with embrodiered pink roses on the sides, matching shoes, a sweater and a headwrap which she hated with a passion. But did she ever look so cute! Of course, she spit up on the front of her dress before we could even get out of the house!!! Luckily, it wasn't that bad, so we threw a bib on her and hoped she wouldn't poop up her back, especially with the dress being white! Oh, the joy of dressing up your kids!

Cole had so much fun on his multiple Easter egg hunts. He hunted eggs three times at PopPop and Nana's, and then again with John-Michael at GiGi and Grandaddy's house. He was so cute; everytime he saw one he would get really excited at shout, "Another Easter Egg!" It was so fun to watch he and John-Michael chase after them. Eric hid one on a tree branch they could not reach, and it was just histerical to watch them both jump up trying to get it. In the end, Eric picked Cole up to knock it down and John-Michael picked it up. It was a wonderful day with our families, especially being able to celebrate it's true meaning. I can't wait to teach Cole and Raleigh that Easter is not just about the Easter bunny and hunting Easter eggs; it's about celebrating the life of our Savior, Jesus Christ, and the fact that He is risen. Here are some of our favorite pictures of the day.
