meredith, caroline & hannah: Easter

The girls and I went to Saluda, N.C. for Easter with the Wright side of our family. My Dad is the director of a retreat center there and there is room enough for all of my siblings and our kids to stay. Alan was not able to go as he had to work =( We had a good time and the girls loooooved playing with their big boy cousins.

Here is Hannah playing with some of the spoils from her Easter basket. She had a blast with the necklaces and sunglasses! This was after what should have been a 3 hour drive home but ended up being 5 thanks to traffic. They were ready to take those dresses off and run around!

Here is Meredith ...

This is Meredith right after we got home. It took bribery (jelly beans) to get them back in the house! I think Meredith, especially, would be happy to pitch a tent and just stay outside all the time!

Running with the big boys in an empty party room at the restaurant where we ate after church on Easter. The photo is blurry because they were running around like crazy people thanks to Easter candy!

Hannah and the boys after church

Meredith wouldn't leave my side after I traumatized her by leaving them in the church nursery. The poor young girl who had her when I came to pick them up was very relieved to see me as Meredith cried the whole time. Hannah did very well and I would have thought it would have been the other way around ...

Me and the girls after church ...

Hannah and Brayden checking out their finds from the Easter egg hunt ...

Thanks to a Dora egg hunt book, the girls were pretty good at the whole Easter egg hunt thing ... I doubted they would know what to do but they took off and found egg after egg! Here is Meredith finding a purple one ...
