Easter Weekend

With it being Easter weekend, we had a nice three day weekend. Friday afternoon I dropped Camden off at one of his friend's house and one of the mom's took a group of boys over to the intermediate school where they all played some basketball and then another mom picked them up and brought them back. They hung out, played video games, rode bikes and had a good time. 

Meanwhile, Casen and I pose for pictures with the dog. :)

Yesterday, Casen and his team played in a one day tournament at the Scrapyard in Conroe. Coach Paul gave each of the boys a wooden bat for Easter.  The bats have the player's name and date engraved on them as well as the following 'He has rise, He has risen so that Easton will have eternal life.' When the coach gave the example to the person making the bat, he used his son's name (Easton) and the person ended up putting Easton's name on every bat. LOL Regardless, it was a very thoughtful gift.

We left home a bit after 8:00 am and after playing all day and winning the Scrap Yard Easter Showdown, ended up not getting home until close to 11:00 pm.

Thank the Lord for Ms. Susan, our
nextdoor neighbor, who loves Nina
and will gladly let her out and love on her
when we have long days like today.

This morning started with the boys checking out at all the good things the Easter bunny brought in their Easter basket.

We then headed to church and found Melissa, Shawn and Mason and took a Easter family pic, but unfortunately we were missing Braden.

After we got home it was time for the Easter egg hunt. As the boys get older, the eggs start containing more money and less candy. It is of course always a race to see who can find the big silver egg. This year Camden found it first, but in his excitement, when he found it he shook it and heard nothing he threw it down and exclaimed he didn't want it thinking it was a trick and was empty. Well, lo and behold, it had money in it, so Casen scooped it right up. Camden didn't think it was fair that Casen was able to then have the money since he was the one who originally found it, and was rather dramatic regarding the news as you can see in this pic. Needless to say, some lessons were learned today.

Aside from that disappointment, all in all the Easter egg hunt was fun.
