Fun Easter Weekend!

We had a fantastic Easter weekend! This was actually Pierson's 2nd Easter, but this was the first one where she was able to really take part in all the fun festivities. We were able to start the weekend off with a fun playdate at Cameron Park. The weather was a little questionable, but the rain ended up staying away long enough for us to have a nice little picnic lunch.

Sarah and Caleb Roberts and Julia and Brooks Jurgensen were our lunch dates

Of course, Pierson was not as interested in eating as she was in walking around and playing

Finally caught a good one!

Just before we had to leave, they stayed on the blanket long enough for us to snap a few pics before bolting off (well Caleb was pretty content on the blanket).

On Saturday, we headed up to RCC for Pierson's very first Easter Egg Hunt! I did not have high expectations of her participation, but I thought it would be fun to go out and give it a shot. When we first got there, they had camel rides and she loved watching him walk around. Then it was time to line up for the hunt! They had different sections for the different age groups and we were in the 1-3 year old group.

She could see the eggs from where we were standing and waiting and kept trying to get them.

She really did not understand why I could not let her go so she could get the eggs!

Trying to disctract her a little until they said GO!

She finally got to go and I must say, I was quite impressed with how well she knew what to do with the eggs!

She would point to one, then pick it up and give it to me or put it in her basket.

Shaking them was fun too!

After it was over, she wanted to see what was making them shake

They were taped shut so I eventually had to help her out

Enjoying the BEAUTIFUL day with daddy!

And of course, she wanted to walk as much as she possibly could, but always holding either my or Ryan's finger

Walking some more, waiting in line to see the Easter Bunny

She absolutely LOVED the Easter Bunny! She kept trying to grab his face!

Being silly :)

We had plenty of fun and it was time to leave and get some lunch!

I even let her try one of her treats on the way home. I honestly did not think one little bite size kit kat would be so messy, but she inhaled it!

We got to spend some time later that day with some dear friends, Brent and Melissa McKenzie and their little boy Brodie. Pierson loves laughing at Brodie and watching him do silly things. She also loves Mrs. Melissa and Mr. Brent and got extra attention while we there.

Finally, Easter Sunday arrived and it started off with getting to see what the Easter Bunny brought to Miss Pierson.

She had more fun pulling everything out of the basket than actually playing with any of the toys.

For some reason, I thought it would be fun to put a candy bracelet in there because I always remember loving those when I was a kid. She loved it but of course it was sticky little mess.

Our cute little Easter Bunny :)

We eventually made it to church (a tad bit late). Pierson was very tired from staying up a little late the night before so we headed home for lunch.

We ended the weekend with a little golf! It ended up being a gorgeous afternoon so we headed out to enjoy the weather. We normally stick Pierson in the BOB and walk, but we thought we would let her try out the cart this time. She thought she was driving, she had so much fun!

She was all over the place when we would stop and let Ryan hit. She had fun trying to put the golf ball in the hole if daddy missed :)

She loves being with her daddy!

Yummy golf ball

Cheering for daddy!

We were sad to see the weekend come to an end. We were able to spend sweet time together as a family and more importantly celebrate that He is Risen! How thankful we are for the sacrifice the He made for us!
