Weekend Happenings

My sister and the kiddos arrived on Friday and my sister surprised us with this beautiful monogram for Emersyn's room! My favorite part about the whole thing is that some of the buttons came from clothes that belonged to our Mom. It's so special!


On Saturday we dropped my sister off at the airport and got our day started with a local Easter egg hunt for the kids. They had 3 designated fields for different age groups and the kids loved it. They got a ton off eggs!

On Sunday it was rainy out so the Easter bunny hid eggs around the house and they still had a blast finding them. We also dyed eggs and spent lots of time at the playground down the street from our house.


Emersyn enjoyed Easter too from the comfort of my tummy haha.


Since Kyle had a long weekend we ventured off to Alexandria to go to the zoo. After a yummy breakfast at Cracker Barrel we found the zoo and had a blast! It was a lot bigger than I expected and the kids loved it, heck we loved it. It took us about 2 hours to go through and we enjoyed the train ride as well. We had a late lunch at Applebee's and then headed home.

We ended the night with some fun at the playground again.


We are enjoying their visit so much and love that we get this time with them.

I hope you all had a great Easter!
