Easter 2009

These pictures are so far over due it's embarrassing!!! Unfortunately I have a feeling I'm going to be playing catch up for a while now so let me start with the apologies right now!!! No excuses except for time just getting away from me. We hope you enjoy our pictures of all our Easter fun in Mount Olive last month!

Reagan loved this sucker the Easter Bunny brought and called it her "twirly whirly"
Uncle Jimmy being a very good sport wearing pink Minnie Mouse sunglasses in order to be "so cool" as dictated by Missy Reagan

Sweet baby
I've truly been letting Kennedy down. While we visted the Easter Bunny with Reagan last year we somehow didn't make it for Kennedy this year. I did get one picture of her with this bunny he brought her, that counts for something right???
Not only did the Easter Bunny visit Grandma Karen and Grandpa Jim's house Reagan also got to celebrate her birthday a little early and received this great Barbie Jeep

Reagan had a wonderful time playing on Grandpa and Grandma's new inflatable bouncer/slide

Grandma Karen arranged to have a birthday cake for Uncle Chuck, Aunt Kayci and Reagan since their birthdays are all in April. Here they are blowing out their respective ages.
Reagan was ready to dig right in!


Easter Sunday afternoon we went to the annual Mount Olive Egg Hunt. Reagan had a great time and Aunt Julie was great at helping her figure out what to do.

Ready, set, run!


Reagan did so well during the egg hunt. At one point I was afraid she was trying to take candy away from other kis but instead she was trying to share hers. What a sweety! :)

Grandma Karen has an adult egg hunt every year. To encourage participation the eggs are filled with money. There are also awards and special prize eggs. Here are a few pics from this years annual hunt.


It's been too long for me to remember who had the most eggs and who had the prize egg but I think it was Aunt Julie and Aunt Kayci.
While Reagan found a couple of eggs during the adult hunt she decided to go back and play in the bouncer. I liked her hair in this pic. :)

Thank you to Grandma Karen for the adorable matching yellow outfits the girls wore in the afternoon! I'm glad they had something warmer to wear because it was a bit chillier than I had anticipated. Thank you also to Grandma Pat for the Easter barettes!

Grandma Pat's House

We enjoyed our time at Grandma Pat's house while we were in Mount Olive. Grandma made a bunny cake for all of us to eat for our Easter celebrations. Reagan was so cute when she saw the cake. She sat herself down right in front of it and enthusiastically announced "I need a fork!"
Reagan throughly enjoyed the sugar cookies... :)
Bunny Kennedy talking to Great Grandma Ruth
The Easter Bunny also visited Grandma Pat's house and left "twirly whirlies" for the girls there too. :)
Kennedy's first slide ride

Reagan loved this little slide and could not get enough of it
Reagan also enjoyed sharing the slide with Grandma Pat's stuffed animals
Thank you to Grandma Pat for the cute matching pink dresses in the first Easter pictures! Thank you also to Grandma Karen for the sweet matching flower dresses in the slide pictures!
