HAPPY EASTER!

Emerson rushed into my room at 6:00 this morning, "Mom! Get up! You've got to see this! The bunny came!" Mr. Bunny is very loved in our house today :)

 

 Mr. Bunny brought some super cool eggs this year.

 Sorting real eggs, candy, and money eggs :)

 All set for church!

Emerson's bells choir performed at the service today.

Then, it was off to the Rhodes party for some more family fun. Little Miss started to throw a tantrum so we didn't get to stay too long. I think all the fun festivities of the week and the late nights finally caught up to her. Happy Easter everyone!

Visit with cousins

Saturday night we went to Aunt Barbi's house for a BBQ. My cousin, Shari, and her family were in from North Carolina. Blake and Emerson LOVED playing with their big second cousins, Grant and Trent. They ran around, played ball, and tried to tackle them all night. Great birth control for these boys :)

 Aunt Barbi had an Easter egg hunt for them!

Easter Parade

Emerson and I rang bells on a float in the Ahwatukee Easter Parade on Saturday morning with her bells choir, The Chiming Cherubs, from church.

She loved the "God loves all things" themed float!

 

One current and one former student of mine:)

 

And we're off!

Miss Leslie and Miss Camille, the bells teachers.

Emerson was mostly interested in waving to the crowd.

Our fan club!

She was thrilled with how many friends we saw!

The parade ended at church and we walked back home.

 Back home for some Easter presents from Grammy.
