Easter

Holidays are always a mad dash in the Dawson household. While it is wonderful that all of our family is close it also makes for an exhausting day of trying to get everywhere and do everything.

First we searched for the eggs the Easter bunny hid (real eggs that the twins enjoying smashing while throwing the the basket). Next up was checking out the baskets. Cue 4 year old breakdown because despite having 3 times the things her sisters did, her basket did not  include princess shoes. Needless to say, everyone is enjoying the princess shoes now :)

Church was next on the agenda. If they want to torture prisoners of war they should have them take twin 22 month olds to church. Holy crap. They ended up in the nursery which was better for everyone.

Next we enjoyed an amazing buffet at the Country Club that Scott and Nicki were kind enough to ask us to join them for. That dessert bar is to die for (okay maybe the wrong saying on Easter). Lyla amused the crowd by standing at the m&m bowl and looking cute so people would feed her gobs of candy.

Speaking of candy our Jilli Bean LOVES jelly beans. She would do just about anything for these sweet beans. Including pushing chairs over to whatever high objects the baskets are hidden upon and climbing until she can reach them.

The Easter bunny was at the club so Grace got to give him a big hug while the twins wanted nothing to do with him.

We then went to nana and papas for an Easter egg hunt. The twins had no idea what was going on but enjoyed running around like all the big kids. Grace really got into it this year, taking her egg hunting very seriously.

Next was GG Wilsons to see that side of the fam. Too windy to enjoy time outside but the kids got into GG's old dress up suitcase and had a great time playing together.

Finally we ended the day at GG Dawsons for another Easter egg hunt. Grandpa Dawson gave all the kiddos (and me) a good 'ol fashioned tractor ride.

Whew! God is Good!! The end
