We all had a wonderful weekend full of lots of family time. April 15th is now behind us (this year they are extended to the 18th though) and we can spend a great deal more family time together. I got back from work by 9am on Saturday (we had to quadruple check extensions!) and had the whole day to ourselves. After Addison's morning nap, we headed over to Weatherford for lunch at Cabana followed by a little retail therapy which no doubt included Target. We came back to town and grabbed and snow cone and headed home. We got all of our purchases unloaded and headed to Granny and PawPaw's house to celebrate PawPaw's birthday (a few days late).
We had a wonderful fajita dinner catered by On The Border (no such thing as too much Mexican food in one day!) and more dessert that you can imagine. Candi had an Easter egg hunt organized for the kids following dinner. We weren't certain how Addison would do (attention span, etc.) but she continues to amaze us. She and Grammy have been practicing placing eggs in the basket and her practice certainly paid off. She got about a dozen eggs on her own and kept trying to find more after they were all gone. She wants to be like the older kids and can most certainly hold her own.

On Sunday, we had lunch and an Easter egg hunt following church. Addison continued to do well at this event, but became much more distracted by some of the candy which had fallen on the ground. The shiny wrappers on the Reese's cups really caught her attention. She is now ready for the official Easter day celebrations, but too bad she can't really enjoy the candy. There is always next year...

Oh she can enjoy the candy!!! Jameson has given Mackenzie a couple M&Ms (amazing that he shared) and she LOVED them. Granted that's not a regular occurence, but I imagine on Easter she'll get a few more.
It's amazing what you let your second child, all because (1) They see the older one doing it/eating it (2) You're too busy & overwhelmed to put up much of a fight and (3) You're just more laid back
