Easter weekend

What a wonderful Easter weekend! My parents, sister, and grandmother all came in town to visit! I'm not sure where the weekend went, but I know we had a fun time!
For the Easter Egg Hunt on Saturday morning, I needed several balloons blown up, so even AC got in on the action. She was so proud of her little self.
Here are a few pictures before the Good Friday service:
1. This one is cute, even if it looks like AC is choking Gigi

2. This is "a picture is worth a 1,000 words" kind of picture

3. And this one is just a good picture

Anna Claire has figured out how to use my camera, so when I go to print pictures or update the blog, I find pictures like these:
Grandpa gave Anna Claire some bunny ears her first Easter, and she can still wear them!
You may remember this picture

And here's a funny picture of her this year wearing the ears
At the Easter egg hunt on Saturday, we played a few games.
Anna Claire looked so tall to me standing in line, waiting her turn.
When it was her turn, she was focused and determined to walk that egg to the cone. Just look at that concentration!
When it came time for the actual egg hunt, AC had a strategy. I don't know what it was, but she would pass up 50 eggs to get one egg. Some she would open, evaulate the contents and decide whether or not it was worthy of her basket. If not, she closed it up and put it back in the grass.

Here she is with a few friends after the hunt

Later that day, we all went to the mall. Elizabeth and I got our nails done, Gigi and Ma-Maw when shopping for something, and Papa Bear and Brad were on AC duty. When Elizabeth and I walked into the playland to meet up with the family, this is what we saw......twins, I tell ya.

On the way out of the mall, Anna Claire and Sissy tried on a few pair of sunglasses

Easter morning, we had to do Easter bunny baskets in two shifts - early and late. You see, Brad had to leave for church at 6:30AM, and there was no way this Easter bunny was getting up that early. So, there was a little basket waiting for AC when she woke up.

The whole family

When we all got home, there was a larger Easter basket and a bike waiting for Anna Claire. Funny story - Brad said, "Anna Claire, what is that?" (pointing to the bike). She said (in the most pitful tone), "It's a princess bike, but I really wanted a princess scooter." We laughed, and it didn't take long for her to realize she was going to love this bike!
                                                  

First bike ride
Heading back to the house

On Monday, we picked her up from school, took her to the church gym, and let her ride her bike around! I think the pictures speak for themselves - she loves this bike!

A family in our church was gracious enough to donate a playground to the church. Anna Claire has so much fun playing on it!

I've written about Anna Claire's basketball class often in this blog. Well, the year is coming to a close, and we got her individual and team pictures on Monday - greatness.
