Happy Easter!

We went home to Louisiana for Avery's first Easter. We spent the beginning of the trip in Baton Rouge with my mom. On Friday, Jonnilin and Julian came up to visit. We we went to the park for a picnic and to play. Here is my mom rocking her baby girl. Josh testing out the swings.

Friday night the girls decided to go to Corks N Canvas. We painted, had a few glasses of wine and relaxed.


TaDa!!!
Josh was so sweet and watched the babies for us so we could hang out.
On Saturday we drove into Luling. Saturday evening we got ready for the Easter bunny by dyeing eggs.

After that Avery enjoyed a bath in Mimi's sink.
Avery's first Easter basket!
She got a few toys, some books and a couple of little outfits.
She was very excited when she woke up that morning, can't you tell!
Easter is hard work!
After breakfast we got ready for church. Avery was a little stinker during the Mass. I think she got hot and uncomfortable. We got a few family pictures when we got home for church.
She was much happier once we got her out of those clothes!
Uncle Corey and cousin Cole came over to play.
Cole was SOOO sweet with Avery. He was so nice and gentle with her.
Kissing cousins!
We went to Josh's grandparents for a late lunch of ham, sweet potato casserole, broccoli salad and baked macaroni. It was so good! Here are Corey and Uncle Glen passed out after eating.
Callie, Chelsi and Dane enjoying the beautiful day.

I love this picture.
Mimi gave Avery her bath Sunday night and styled her hair :)Monday, Josh had to return to Texas to work at the clinic. So Avery and I had a girl's day with Ms. Aleta and Summer. We shopped till we dropped! When we got home from the mall, Avery and I went to Jeff and Cristin's for dinner. Jody and Jenn were also there with their kids. I had to get a picture of Avery and their daughter Audrey. The girls we born a week apart, but Avery is about 4 pounds heavier than Audrey! They are both healthy, beautiful little girls.
They were not very happy!
We pretty much just hung out and visited the rest of the trip. I went back up to Baton Rouge on Tuesday to spend some more time with my mom. Josh came back Wednesday night to take his Louisiana state boards on Thursday. After Josh's test we came back to Luling for the night. Here is Summer hanging out with her niece.
Josh, Bryce and Cole playing football.

We came back home on Friday. It was a great visit, and I love that Avery is getting more interactive with everyone. They all loved her! Like I said, I can't wait for next year so she can hunt eggs and enjoy the holiday a little bit more.
