Ahhh, Easter!!

What an awesome Easter weekend!! We had so much fun!!!!

We started the celebration on Thursday when we took Ava out to the mall to sit on the Easter Bunny's lap. I was really hesitate about doing so because she hasn't been too excited about him coming. Well, she proved us WRONG!!
She kept asking me if I was proud....She has no idea how proud I am of her. Not just because of this but because of EVERYTHING about her....Anyhow...

Saturday afternoon we headed up town to the park. They have an annual Easter egg hunt for kids from ages 1 - 3rd grade. I used to go to this hunt when I was little. Well, guess who found the golden egg??? Yep, Ava Kate!
She won this basket full of Easter goodies!! Notice, she is on John's shoulders? This is where she spend a majority of the event. She was scared of THAT Easter Bunny!!
After the egg hunt, we went over to Cory and Heather's for Mya's first birthday!! I didn't get a picture of the birthday girl, but I got this super cute picture of Ava and Jada.
Saturday night was spent getting ready for the Easter Bunny! We planted jelly beans...
Putting the basket out ready to be filled with goodies!
Basket ready to be filled, eggs ready to be hidden, and carrots ready to be eaten!!
And then the Easter Bunny visited!! Yes, I fully acknowledge we went overboard. We were going to give her the patio set for her birthday but that isn't until July and we wanted her to get full use out of if this summer!!!
Loving her new umbrella!!!

He bought me all this???
Finding all of her eggs!!
And there were suckers where we planted jelly beans???
After the morning festivities slowed, we got dressed in our Easter clothes and headed to church!!
Goofing with the camera before the family came over for Easter dinner!
Ava took this one!!!
We had a fabulous Easter dinner complete with my "carrot" plastic ware....
Grandma sat at the table with all the kids!! Haha!!
Daddy got stuck at the new patio table! Haha!!
After dinner we did another Easter egg hunt in our yard!! Those girls were soooo cute!!
Checking out their loot afterwards....

Hope your holiday was as great as ours!!! Happy Easter!!
Love,
John, Sara, and Ava
