Easter 2010

We had a great Easter! We had some family come into town for Easter, and they were on standby just in case the baby decided to come. We spent the whole weekend playing with James and enjoying each other's company. We took a walk to the park, and we had a fun Easter egg hunt for James in the backyard. Here are some of our pictures from Easter.

Here is what the Easter Bunny left James ~ Little Tikes Golf Set, monkey pillow, big ball, peeps, bibs, and bubbles! Wow! This Easter Bunny was a little crazy! ;)



Pawpaw and Nana even gave him a present ~ Pound a Peg, an adorable bunny, and a ducky that flashes when you push the ball inside.



Here James is showing off his mad skills with the Pound a Peg. He actually caught on really quick and loves this toy!


This is James' technique for golfing...he might need some help Poppi.


Another good action shot of hitting the ball off the tee.


Our sweet boy waiting patiently outside by the fountain for everyone to leave for church.


Daddy and James ~ this outfit is the one his Daddy wore for his second Easter! We are so glad Gigi saved this!


Smelling the flowers before church...too cute!


Our big boy after church


Cute little pose


Daddy is SO funny!


Our little family of 3!


Here is a good shot of my belly on Easter while I am working on dinner!


OH!!! More Easter eggs!

Finding Easter eggs in the yard.


I love how he takes such care in doing everything!

James is running after the last egg and Mama is encouraging him to go.

Daddy is showing James the bubbles.
Even though baby Brother decided not to show this weekend, we had a great time and we are officially ready and waiting on our newest edition! Nine days or less!
