Easter week and weekend...

We had a great time with my family being here! Tyler I know LOVED it and learned A LOT too, I'm sure! :) They really enjoyed each other and pretty much stayed outside the entire time. Thank goodness we had pretty weather or it would have been bad. We are so blessed to have such a wonderful family! I enjoyed the extra company and being able to have fun lunch dates. They kept Ty all week which was a great help to us! I wish we lived closer so that the kids could grow up together, but we do a pretty good job of getting together often. :) Well, to continue with the last post....
Wednesday we met Barbara, Bekah, and the kids at Tanglewood Park for lunch. The kids had a blast playing together and so did the mamas. :) That night we had church and then headed back to the house for the nightly bath routine. Tyler must be a bath snob because he wanted to bath all to himself, silly thing!
Thursday, they went shopping for mom a dress and met them again for lunch. Then I headed back to work and was home shortly after. Thursday night we just hung out and enjoyed being together. Friday morning we decided that the Easter bunny needed to make his delivery so that the kids could enjoy their baskets before they had to leave. They did indeed enjoy them and gots lots of fun stuff! After that we headed to grab lunch and take it to Hathaway Park, only to find out when we got there, there was a group of about 200 people there, so we decided to take our lunch to the church play ground. The kids had fun and we got some really cute pictures. After that we headed back to the house to let Ty take a nap and then Mandy and I took the kids over to Barbara's to play with her kids. They loved it and we painted a "chalkboard" thing for Ty's room. Later, Mom came over and we had a crab leg, shrimp, potatoes, and corn feast that David fixed for us. It was delicious. I forgot my camera, but boy was it good! Then we headed back home to work in Tucker's room for a bit. We got some things done, but still have a little ways to go. :)
Saturday we got up and headed to Tanglewood Park. They were having a festival thing out there for Easter and a fundraiser for Lillie's Friends. It was alot of fun. There were tons of people but the kids did get to play a few games and then they had a 5000 egg, egg hunt. They had them divided into age groups, but still the eggs were all picked up in less than 2 minutes, I would bet. They had fun. Then we headed to McDonalds for lunch and to let them play on the playground. Afterwards, back home for naps and then we headed to look for suits for the boys for the wedding, but no such luck. Then we went to Pancho Villas for dinner. It was a fun day, but sad to see it end, cause that meant they had to pack up and get ready to leave. :(
Sunday, they were gone around 5:30 am. We got up headed to church and then went to Barbara's for lunch. It was delicious. It was us, the Trinh's, Bradley's, and the Best's. We had a great fellowship and yummy food. We finally got a decent family picture. We all had purple one, well except for Ty because he didn't want to wear his precious tie Nana bought him!
After lunch we headed home for naps.
It was a great Easter and a very memorable week. I'm so thankful that my family got to come and be here the whole week! Thanks for driving here and spending the whole week with us! We LOVED every second of it!
Now, we're looking forward to heading to Ohio in a couple of weeks.
Only 10 weeks left till Tucker's due date and I know its going to FLY by!!

Hope you enjoy all the pictures! I sure do!!
