Happy Easter!
We had a wonderful Easter weekend. The weather was nicer than any other Easter that I can remember. Last weekend, we had a trial egg hunt at the Methodist Church. Since it was sprinkling that morning they hid the eggs inside. Dad said that it looked more like 52 card pick- up than and egg hunt but Parker knew exactly what to do and Bennett quickly got the hang of it.
I tried to get smiles out of both of them but it was kind of hard. 
Then this past Saturday the Country Club had it annual Easter Egg hunt. Two years ago it was the egg hunt that Parker lost all of her eggs running after other eggs. I will re-post that video and try to get Bennett's first egg hunt posted. He definitely knew what to do but there are sand traps on the golf course and he ran right past the eggs and into the sand! After I got him out he filled his basket to the brim!
Parker's basket was overflowing too as you can see!
Two smiles!
Parker ended up getting 2nd prize which was $5 for picking up the 2nd prize egg during the hunt! She is not quite sure how she wants to spend it yet but my guess is for more candy.

Easter morning we woke the children up early so that we could hunt for eggs and still make it to church on time. Parker did not take a nap on Saturday so she took a few more minutes than usual to get going.
But she was excited to see if the Easter Bunny came! You might notice the scratch on her face below her right eye....that was a result of not napping and therefore losing her coordination. Unfortunately, she doesn't have much to begin with and the lack of sleep doesn't help.
Coco and Poppa came to town last Wednesday and while they were here they dyed eggs with Parker and Bennett. I expected to see a disaster when I came home from teaching class that night but it wasn't bad at all and the eggs looked great! So on Sunday, the Easter Bunny hid their eggs and they were able to find all of them! 
After church we all went to Poopaw and YaYa's house for lunch. Below is a picture of Bennett and his new bubble mower that the Easter Bunny brought him. He hasn't stopped pushing it since he got it and he won't let anyone else touch it!
Playing on the swingset and Poopaw and YaYa's house
Clif and Parker were swinging and Bennett wanted to swing and this was the result...it was quite challenging for Clif especially when Parker and Bennett switched roles.
Here, Bennett was trying to push Parker down the slide so he could go!
We had a wonderful Easter in Greenwood and hope all of our family and friends that couldn't be with us had a blessed Easter as well!
