Easter and April

This year we did Easter just a little bit different...we spent it in Burnet at Nano and Papa's. We also did it on Saturday, which was nice because Sunday wasn't as rushed. Most of our family came down from my mom and dad's sides. Crawford loves getting to hang out with his cousins, so add in Easter egg hunting and it's wonderful.

Gwen had fun too, mainly trying to fit the whole egg in her mouth.

We got a pretty good family picture also. We will be having more done soon, which will be for Gwen's first birthday (crazy!).

Since we did Easter with the family on Saturday, we went to church Sunday morning and then tried to get pictures in the bluebonnets. We will just say that was not our most successful endeavor. This is the best picture we got of the kids, and didn't get one of them together. :(

We unfortunately sat Crawford in a bed of ants (don't worry, he was only bit once), so he of course would not sit back down. Now when he sees blue bonnets he says, "Those flower have ants!". I think we might have scarred him for life.

This was the truck that the Easter bunny brought Crawford. He had been asking for it for a while, so this fake smile here doesn't do it justice.

Then it was date night out on the town for Nathan's birthday. Nathan and I had a blast just getting to hang out together and go dancing just a little bit! Grandma took care of Gwen for us and Crawford spent the night at Nano/Papa's house. They went to the Blue Bonnet parade, which was right up his alley.

The next day we picked up Crawford from Nano and Papa then we went to our friends' daughter's first birthday party. This was Gwen's first time at the park and she loved it. I see a bunch of that in our future this summer. Crawford is the best big brother and was so helpful.
