Easter 2013

Dear Abigail,

So, Spring Break was a bit of a blast for you this year.  You went with Clara Lee and Mimi and Ash-ash to Chicago, but I'll let Ash-ash tell you all about that.  You left Saturday morning and we missed you tremendously.  Finally on Thursday afternoon, Mommy and Katie-bug were reunited with you and boy were you two excited to see each other (at Mimi's)...

It was Easter weekend, so you stayed with Mimi when you got back from Chicago and we joined up later.  On Friday, you went with Aunt G and John Michael and Em to the Children's Museum while Mommy and Kate and Mimi ran a few errands, as if you didn't have enough fun already!  Friday was an early to bed kind of night because on Saturday, Mimi took you and Kate to Clara Lee's church Easter egg hunt.  It was a bit rainy outside, but that didn't stop you from finding some eggs.  Mimi said you were a very good big sister because you made sure Kate had eggs in her basket, too.  

After egg hunting, we dyed some eggs at Mimi's house with the whole crew.  

Or rather, you did a lot of watching Mimi dye the eggs! Don't worry, I think you got a hold of a few eggs yourself.  Everyone had a blast and we later ate pizza and hung out with everyone.
Sunday morning was Easter and low and behold, that old E.B. stopped by and dropped off a few things in your Easter basket!

Including whoppers, your (and momma's!) fave!

oh, and Skittles (your and Daddy's fave!)

And this, whatever it is...

(it was play-doh in an egg)...

The E.B. also brought you your first chapter book, Charlotte's Web.  You were very excited to have a chapter book and since we have read many, many chapters from it.

You and Kate showing off your baskets Easter morn...

After a yummy breakfast of whoppers and Skittles (just kidding, I'm pretty sure we had bagels!), we got cleaned up and started helping Mimi make a delicious lunch.  Unfortunately, Mimi had to dart for a bit because Uncle Bubba had a trip to the E.R.  All turned out okay, but it put everyone in a bit of a tenzy for a bit.  No worries, everyone still came over (minus U.B.) and we still had a delicious lunch!

By the time we wrapped up lunch, Mimi and Aunt G got there, so we decided to have an egg hunt.  Sadly all those pictures are on Mimi's camera because my battery died, but I will say, you found your golden egg!!  You were VERY excited about it, and even more excited about the money inside!!  You helped Katie-Bug and Clara Lee find their egg, too!
Soon after the hunt, we packed the car and headed back home.  It turned out to be later than we thought, but it was worth it because what a fun Easter we had at Mimi's house!
Love you!
