Easter 2014

Wow . . . 41 days off the blog! That's got to be some kind of terrible record for me. So let's just play a little catch up, shall we? 

Easter weekend was PACKED with activity this year! 

Saturday morning, Paul and I ran the Easter Sun Run 10k. Mom and Dad (Nana and Papa) brought the girls down to cheer us on from the finish line. Emma thought it was SO COOL when her daddy gave her a high five when he ran past her. I would have, but I was ready to die after letting Paul (aka Long Legs McSpeedy) pace us. I can now say that I am the proud owner of a 51 minute 10K personal record (that's an 8:13/mile) and that I never, ever want to run with him again. I love him with my whole heart, but my legs wanted to fall off after that race. 

Easter Sunday we made plans to meet my sister at Magdalen for Mass at 8 a.m. - she was coming from Augusta and I insist on an early Mass on holidays, so it worked out well. We got the girls up early and they found their Easter baskets (stuffed with new books, a new shirt each, matching nightgowns, and Barbie each, and one chocolate bunny . . . the Easter Bunny kind of rocked it out this year). 

 A few precious PEACHY pictures later  . . . .

 and we were off to Easter Sunday Mass. 

After church, everyone headed back to my parents house and the kiddos had a few (dozen) Easter egg hunts in the yard. As you can tell from the photos, my hiding technique is somewhat lacking. I prefer to just scatter the eggs. No one under the age of 6 was complaining.

The cousins had a great time playing and being silly, too! 

And to end our fab weekend - Miss Emma FINALLY was deemed fully potty trained! The deal was that when she was a big girl and no longer going in her diapers, she would get to have her new doll house that Grandma Kay had given her for Christmas! We are so proud of Emma!
