Easter 2011

Easter morning started with Addie and Ben wearing their Easter outfits that Muddy made.
This picture is so funny. Muddy hadn't finished Ben's waistband all the way yet, but I didn't realize that. So this picture is Ben's response, just as he opened the cabinet while hunting for eggs, as his shorts fell to his ankles. I couldn't have timed the picture better. Muddy quickly grabbed them and fixed them on the spot, so there were no more wardrobe malfunctions.
Then the Easter egg hunt continued

Then we went to MomMom and PopPop's house, where Graham was.
They all blew bubbles out back.


In "ways to prove Addie is my daughter" news- she came into the kitchen and told me "You need to come take a picture of Ben and PopPop. They are sitting so cutely together." So of course I did.

As we drove back to our house, we got to the corner of Concord Pike and there was the Easter Bunny!! It almost seemed like she was waiting just for us. Ben actually said, "Well that was good timing!"
By the time we got to our house, the Easter Bunny was at the front door, indicating she had hidden some goodies out front.

At dinner Muddy surprised us by putting Ben in the Easter suit that she made TJ over 31 years ago!! She had to let out the legs and sleeves, since Ben is taller than Onkteb was, but other than that- it's the same suit! It's also the suit that Uncle Jeremy wore for Halloween when he was Don Johnson from Miami Vice!

Overall, it was a wonderful Easter. We lucked out with fantastic weather. It was a great family gathering, and we had lots of discussion about the family members who weren't here physically but with us emotionally.
To everyone, Hello...Happy Easter!
