Before Easter, my mom and I went to Dallas while I was on Spring Break from teaching to visit with all of the relatives. On Palm Sunday, Great Grandma hosted everyone for a craw-fish boil, Aunt Sue put together an egg hunt for the little girls with Easter baskets from Aunt Marian, and Uncle Butch took care of the grown-up "egg" hunting.
Here is Evelyn a midst all of the eggs in the living room.
These are the 3 E's...Emma, Elizabeth and Evelyn
Evelyn had a necklace in one of her eggs. She is now obsessed with these mardi gras necklaces, and she wears them around our house all the time.
All the E's have necklaces.
Great Grammy with Elizabeth and Grammy with Evelyn.
Aunt Sue was the perfect height for Evelyn to walk around with.
The grown-ups got to hunt for grown-up beverages, but the babies wanted to look at our loot. Here are Elizabeth and Evelyn with some Jagermeister (completely unopened!)
Evelyn gives Uncle Carlton some 'tude.
Now checking out the beer.
On Monday, we got to visit Uncle Sam's houseboat and have dinner. Evelyn checks out Nicole and Emma after dinner.
On the boat, Emma shared her toys, and Evelyn loved this picnic basket.
We played below deck with Uncle Sam and our necklaces.
Evelyn enjoyed "mountain climbing" up and down the steps. Grammy stepped in when my arms were getting tired.
Sleeping in after a late night on the water.
On Tuesday we journeyed to Aunt Sue's house for dinner and to enjoy the twins' school wind ensemble concert.
Evelyn drove the tractor.
And "rode" Joker
She spider monkeyed up the patio furniture.
And took some long walks.
With her Great-Grammy
The four generations of women.
And giving Uncle Butch the eye...but she warmed up to him eventually on his way back through Nashville.
We had so much fun...I wish I had taken more photos with everyone.
Then it was a low key Easter at our house. I was a little under the weather, so we just watched Evelyn look in her basket on Easter morning.
Letting Uncle Butch give her a bottle...so sweet!
