Happy Easter Weekend! (Part 1)

Well, we had a wonderful weekend of Easter fun! It all started on Saturday when we went to Eggstravaganza at our church which is a Big Easter Egg Hunt with a bounce house, train ride, and blow-up slide for the kids. Both girls had so much fun this year. Of course, we did not get to go last year because it was snowing on Easter weekend so the event was cancelled.

Campbell's hunt was first and she was very excited to be able to hunt eggs with her church friends. I just loved this picture of her which showed the pure joy that she felt. She definitely had fun running all over the place but as soon as all the eggs were gone she was ready to move on to bigger and better things which for her was the train. Unfortunately, we had to practice some patience and wait until we could watch Kaylee do a little hunting herself.

Here is my big girl in action. Was it really that long ago that I was watching her wander around a field wondering why the eggs all over the ground were such a big deal? When I look at her it is so hard to believe that this was her 6th Easter to celebrate. I love the determined look on her face in this picture and the way that she is taking off to find her next treasure. During her egg hunt she found some friends to play with which left her sister without a train riding partner.

Luckily Campbell's favorite boy "J" was not far away and he does not mind being drug by the hand quite yet to ride the train. I always tease that I am taking "future wedding video" pictures because Campbell has remained pretty sweet on this cutie since we moved here two years ago. His parents are some of our friends so I am not complaining at all:)

Here is Kaylee with one of her good friends "M" riding the train. They both seemed to have a lot of fun and all Campbell kept saying the rest of the afternoon was that she liked that "bump, bump". I have to say that the train was a bit bumpy but no one seemed to be worried and everyone was laughing so I would say fun was had by all.

The next activity was the inflatable slide. As you can see both girls had a lot of fun with their friends and Daddy. I lost count of how many times Kaylee went down the slide and was surprised to see Campbell come flying down once all by herself.

After a little more sliding and some train riding with another one of Campbell's sweet friends, Morgan, we were on to some more fun. (Don't you love Campbell's new smile?) Too funny!

I was a little shocked to see that Campbell followed Kaylee into the Jump House and actually stayed in there. We have been to several parties where there were bounce houses and Campbell was much happier to watch from the outside but this time was different. As you can see from the pictures both girls had a great time jumping and playing together. Campbell did not even seem to mind that most of her time was spent on the floor of the Jump House. Once we were done jumping it was time to go home and take a well earned nap.

I am so thankful for days like these when we can just enjoy the two precious daughters the the Lord blessed us with and some time with family.
