Happy Easter!!

We hope all our friends and family reading this blog had a very enjoyable Easter!

Brianna especially enjoyed this holiday because she got something from the Easter Bunny that she has been wanting for almost two years!! A HAMSTER!!!! (I'm gonna need to have a talk with that Easter Bunny...)

Our Easter started out like it always does every year -- the Easter Bunny hides Easter eggs all over inside and out (weather permitting) and the kids have to find them. Inside each egg is a clue that leads them to the next egg, then finally to their gift!! After about a half hour of running up and down stairs, inside and outside, etc. the kids got a clue that led them to the shower. Imagine Brianna's shocked face when she pulled the shower curtain back expecting to see another Easter egg and clue, but instead their was a hamster cage -- with a hamster already in it!! Let me tell you... she was the happiest girl in the universe!! (after she got over the initial shock!) Immediately, she named him Max and wanted to go to PetSmart to buy him toys and treats! Zach's Easter present was in the shower too -- an XBox 360 game that just came out that he had been wanting. He was pretty happy too! Maybe not as happy as Brianna, but pretty close!

Once we could pry Brianna away from Max and his cage, we headed out to Laurens for Easter dinner at Mom's. My sister and her family were also there, along with Aunt Barb and her family and Uncle Bill. Dinner was fantastic as always and the day went by way too quickly. The kids didn't have school the next day, but CJ and I had to work so we headed home after supper. It is always great to see family during holidays!!
