easter weekend 2009

Caleigh started off her Easter weekend with an Easter basket (bucket) from Gammy and Grandpa.  She loved all of her treats except her Dale Earnhardt coloring book - or maybe it was her mommy that didn't love that - just kidding...  Caleigh spent much time of Friday opening and closing and organizing all of the plastic eggs. (and every day since then)

On Saturday we went to the Uptown Easter Egg Extravaganza - I look forward to this event every year!  It is a great outreach and fun to see so many kids in one place at one time.  Thankfully the egg-hunting spots are divided by age and Caleigh was in the 0-3 age group.  Here she is preparing herself to find the golden ticket. And a video of her in action...

Once she got out there she panicked and focused on opening one or two eggs. Looking through her stash... Mass of people... Family photo op... And then Saturday night we headed down to the Adams' house to do some more egg hunting and to enjoy a fabulous Easter dinner.  Karen hid the eggs for Caleigh and after some encouragement she got into the egg hunting spirit. With her Gigi and Pop-pop... In action with a basketful... And then on Sunday it was a gorgeous day for worshipping the Risen King.  But this is not a gorgeous family picture.  A couple of questions: 1. Do I look tired? 2. Does Caleigh look happy?

This might really be the worst Easter picture ever - at least Adam looks good in it. Next year I will have to take more pictures of Caleigh in her Easter dress and we will have to do it before church (ie before she is starving and exhausted).  We did enjoy a picnic lunch of Bojangles in the grass in front of our condo building after church.  All in all a good Easter weekend!
