Easter, Part 2

After the farm picnic, we drove to San Antonio and stayed with Geep and Pop. Luckily the Easter Bunny found us there, though Spencer was a little surprised (disappointed) that he only left Spencer's basket outside on a bench rather than hidden behind a tree or something like that. Also, Spencer woke up at the crack of dawn, which you can probably tell from the pics and video! I have a sneaking suspicion that the Easter Bunny barely made it by La Vista Drive in time...

There was also Geep and Pop's annual scavenger hunt to help Spencer find his basket from them. This year he graduated from picture clues to written clues that he read. Here's just one of the clues:

 Then we had breakfast and got ready for church.

At church there was another egg hunt, then we had a nice lunch with Geep and Pop.

Funny: I didn't have Spencer try on his new pants since they were a brand/size he's worn before. Well, I could barely get those suckers buttoned! They were so tight - but he was a trooper, which was lucky because Mama didn't bring any other pants. :)

Easter, Part 1

Thought I better write about Easter while we're still in April.  At least I'll get Part 1 done...

On Friday we dyed eggs and the hunted them in the front yard.

We headed to Frelsburg on Saturday for the annual Elliott-Trahan Easter picnic. Lots of good food (including Peeps-ka-bobs!) and visiting.

And of course a fun egg hunt. We even did a big group egg toss this year, but we used cascarones. It was really fun! Spencer and I made it through about 3 rounds before our confetti went flying.

More Easter festivities to follow in a day or two...

Easter Sunday

We woke up bright and early on Easter morning and Spencer started a fun scavenger hunt that Geep and Pop set up for him.

After he unpacked all the loot from Geep and Pop's basket, I remembered that I heard some sort of scratching on the front porch in the middle of the night. Maybe the Easter Bunny had left something outside?

 

Then we got dressed and headed to Geep and Pop's church, where there was an Easter Egg hunt.

We had lunch with Pop's cousins in Helotes, then we headed back to Austin for the last chapter of our Easter festivities at Garven's house. There was another egg hunt with Piper, Beckett and the neighbor kids, followed by lots of trampoline jumping and a delicious dinner.

Spencer was worn out when we got home - and we kept him up much later than we ever do - but it was worth it to pack in so much Easter fun with family and friends.

Easter Picnic at The Farm

Lisa, Ken and their families once again hosted a fun Easter picnic at "The Farm" in Frelsburg the day before Easter. We had a really fun time, but I didn't take that many pictures.

There was fishing...

 And eating...

And of course an egg hunt with Sarah and her cousin Mae...

  Spencer found both the gold and silver eggs, which had a combined $3.00 inside!
