Easter weekend

We kicked off the weekend with a family gathering at Aunt Margaret's. Sophia is pumped to start the egg hunt!

And she's off!

After Sophia would find an egg she would quickly check out the contents before moving on to find more eggs.

Sophia is very proud of her basket.

The cousins and their baskets.

Sophia followed the trail of Easter Eggs to find her basket.

She found it!

Then it was off to Grammy and Pop's for more Easter fun!

After church we headed to Graves' Mountain Lodge for a tasty lunch.

It was a beautiful Easter weekend! It was so much fun watching Sophia really take in all the Easter festivities this year. Well, almost all of the festivities...Sophia was so excited to see the Easter Bunny but once we got to the mall and we actually saw him she had a quick change of heart. She decided that she would just wave to the Easter Bunny instead of getting anywhere near him. Other than that, Sophia loved hiding and finding eggs, jelly beans, and spending time with family.

Easter at WFS

It was a beautiful Spring day at WFS and a perfect evening for an egg hunt!

The children anxiously awaiting the start of the WFS annual Easter Egg hunt! The lawn was covered with 700 eggs for the children to find!

Listening to Ellen Kendall give the instructions for the hunt...

Big sister in training...

Sophia is more than excited to become a big sister in July! She absolutely loves babies and can't get enough of all of the little ones on campus. At home she has been very attentive to her baby dolls, especially Belle, who she is constantly feeding, changing, and rocking. On this particular day, Sophia requested to carry Belle in the Baby Bjorn because she was a little fussy...

Birthdays!

We hosted "DD's" birthday celebration at our house. Everyone brought a dish and we enjoyed a delicious meal and yummy cake!


After dinner story time with "DD" and Granny Herndon.

Time to celebrate Pop's big day! Sophia was so proud to present Pop with the birthday card she made for him.

Time for cake!

Granny Herndon made Pop's cake...I would love to know how many cakes she has made for all of us!


Story time with Pop.


Presents!

It has been a busy Spring and it's not over yet but I thought I would start by catching up on the birthdays that we celebrated at the end of March and April! "DD" and Pop, we love you!
