Easter celebration at home

We had Grammy, Mark and Lindsey over for Easter. Michelle made a surprise visit! Very nice to see her. We had lunch together and Lindsey and I hid eggs for the kids to really hunt. Grammy had Easter gifts and she gave me a Reester Bunny from Reese's. It was the best! Good times, good times.

Egg hunt with FBC Grapevine

Another church egg hunt! We were running late. They started promptly at 9:15. Why so early?!?! As I was getting the kids shoes on and getting the baby bag ready I didn't think of looking outside to see what the weather was like. As we were heading to the car I was thinking, 'it's kind of chilly.' I was glad we had our winter stuff in the car. As I was putting Sijah's seat in the car I was thinking, 'there is weird white stuff falling.' SNOW! Can you believe it? SNOW in April in Texas?!?! Crazy! Well we went to the park where the church was having the hunt and we were late. My mom was there waiting for us and she let the preschool director know we were on our way. They saved some eggs for our children. How nice! The Crispin kids had their very own private egg hunt. :) Dad stayed in the car with the 2 youngest while the 3 oldest had fun with eggs in the freezing cold.




This is Caleb's buddy. His constant face at the church. Caleb is not good with change. If we go to church and he doesn't see Mrs. Kirsey (I spelled her name wrong on the photo) he has a hard time. It's getting better now that we've been there nearly a year. We are very greatfull for the patience and love she has towards our children (and others I'm sure).




The prize table was very impressive. Caleb got some really neat cars and Hannah got a bubble blower, Sarah got a big egg with candy and they picked out a soft bunny for Abrianna. Very cool! Literally! :)

CrossTimbers Easter Party

Easter Party at Cross Timbers. Good Times! The egg hunt was different than we have ever experienced. The church recycles the eggs, so once you've had your hunt you empty your eggs in your bag and put the egg shells into large tubs for use next year. It works out well. Instead of asking the church body to buy eggs and candy, they provide the eggs and you stuff them. :) They had neat tables set up with prizes for the children that got an egg with a paper saying they won in it. Hannah, not knowing the what seemed to be empty eggs were for a bigger prize, shook all the eggs and only kept those that had something in them. Smart girl, going after the candy! I explained the paper to her and she then wanted to find all those ones. Silly girl. Caleb had a wonderful time and would probably have stayed all day! He loved the bounce house and the hammer thing (not sure what it is called). Abrianna liked the colored eggs and Sarah eat the candy through the wrapper. :) We had a great time. Sijah slept in the sling the whole time.
