Happy Easter!

We had a busy, fun, family filled Easter weekend! We started off Saturday morning with an egg hunt at Pops and Mimmy's church.
 
Waiting to hear "GO!"

 


 
 


 
Church cousins...Sam, Tori, Macey, Emery, Merrill, Henderson, Brady, and Madison

Ended the day with the Church-side Easter festivities at Aunt Kay's house for dinner and another hunt 
 
 


 
It was raining, so I made my girls take their dresses off...luckily they had a shirt and leggings on underneath
"Mad Mad" (as Sam calls her) always helping out her "Buddy"
 


 Everyone's creative and festive dishes: Jessie had bunnies going under a garden on top of her chocolate cake
 
Nat made Easter Basket cupcakes
 My deviled egg hatching chick...this wasn't my best one, but the others were already eaten before I could get a picture.
 
The Easter Bunny came!!

 
 
Macey loved her bunny purse

Mad was really excited about her jump rope
 
 
Madison ready for church...I cannot get a normal smile/face out of her anymore. 
Macey stayed home from church...she didn't feel well through the night. We thought she was sick, but turned out they ate too much candy at Kay Kay's while they were playing after the hunt. Merrill apparantly had the same kind of night as Macey :(
Hunter Easter after church for lunch at Bebe's. Ready for the hunt:
Libby, Thomas, Macey, Gretchen, Madison, and Frances
 Had the hunt inside since it was cool and wet.

Disney World!!!

We just got back from our Spring Break trip to Disney World staying in Fort Wilderness. The kids are at such a fun age for Disney right now, and we had a fabulous time with fabulous weather!!!
 
 The two cabins are getting pretty tight. The girls shared a cot this year...don't know how we are going to fit two more next year!! :)

 Campfire sing-a-long with Chip and Dale. Dale came to our side to visit.
 
 Macey was bummed the new Dwarf roller coaster wasn't ready yet, but she really liked all the dwarf signs around the work in progress. :)


First ride of the trip...the new Ariel ride in Fantasyland; it was really cute
 
Climbing Swiss Family Robinson Treehouse in Magic Kingdom. Swiss Family Robinson is my girls' favorite movie right now, so they loved going up in the treehouse for the first time.
 




Aladdin's carpet ride
The girls' first time on Pirate ride...a little unsure in the beginning. They also rode Thunder Mountain for the first time this year...Macey loved it, Madison said, "Mommy, I'm just not a roller coaster girl." :)

 Tiana


 The new Storytime with Belle in the new Fantasyland. Thankfully, Uncle D had a cousin working there so we got to skip the hour long wait


Tori (6), Brady (4), Sam (2), Macey and Madison (4)





 



 

Jessie and D's late-night date ride on Dumbo
 Sam rode Goofy roller coaster for the first time this year too...he liked it that afternoon, he wasn't so sure about his late-night ride on it though


 
  
Sam honked every character's nose he met...funny

 
Sam is turning into a big ham, and he loves copying expressions on things...this Donald Duck sweatshirt is one of my favorites, and we couldn't believe we got him to actually do it for Donald...it was hilarious!
 
 
 
 
These cousins sure do love each other :)

 

 
 
 
 
 
We saw the Pixar parade at Hollywood Studios...Sam LOVED it with all the Toy Story characters

 


 


 
 
 
Macey and Sam trying on hats while the other kids rode Star Tours
 Pirate Jake
Macey the "Mad Hatter"

 We went to Chef Mickey's for Luke's 3rd birthday...one of the kids' favorites to go to
Andrew, Brady, Luke, Nathan, Madison, Sam, Tori, Macey
 


 
 


 
 


 
 
Cupcakes back at the cabin for his birthday

As you can see, Mad and Mace were already well-lathered up for the pool after the party :)
