Easter




We had a really fun Easter Weekend! Friday we bought the movie Enchanted and I think Kaylin watched it about 3 times by Saturday. I really didn't mind because I love the story and music! Saturday Travis did some work and took Ethan along, not only was I happy with this arrangement, so was Ethan. He was daddy's big helper! It gave Kaylin and I a chance to do some girlie bonding! We went out to McDonalds, visited a friend selling stuff at a store, bought some sugar cookies and then made them! (the whole time reminding Kaylin of the story of the Little Red Hen...for she only wanted to frost them) And then had a BBQ and movie night with some friends.
Easter Sunday was nice too. Our ward split and made a super branch, which caused some Peachtree City ward members added to our ward. It was so fun seeing so many faces that I love! Our ward is better than ever now! After church, we did some family pictures that I thought turned out really cute, then we had our Easter Hunt. We distracted the kiddos with an Easter movie and Travis and I went outside to hide everything. He grew up hiding the baskets with toys and candy already in them and I grew up just hiding the candy, so we compromised. We hid their baskets with their fun toy and then hid the rest around the yard. Kaylin was ecstatic! She would ONLY pick up the pink and purple eggs and the ocassional yellow...She loved all her treasures and mostly liked the toys and games, but loves peeps and the white chocolate bunny. After Ethan found his basket with two mini monster trucks (his favorite ones, Grave Digger and Blue Thunder) the candy took 2nd place.--amazingly!)But he is a fast egg finder! Travis and Ethan stacked up the empty eggs and would run the monster trucks into the eggs. Ethan's been building opstacles since.
My mom and Dad came down for a yummy BBQ dinner and we showed them our house being built too! Well just our lot, but there was a house around the corner that just had been dry-walled that was the same exact floor plan we could walk through. It was so fun seeing them and the kids loved showing off for them!
We hope you all had a wonderful Easter spending time with family and loved ones as well and remembered the true meaning of Easter and the beautiful message that Christ lives!

As a photographer to a fellow photographer, you are definitely right on how cute your pictures turned out. It’s amazing how much just one picture can capture so much emotion with a thousand words of beauty. Pictures have a special way that gets me all tear eyed, and the picture of Kaylin looking up at you while hugging your cute pregnant belly really did that to me.
Great Work Brittany! =)
