Lissie's 1st Birthday Party

Lissie Tuley's first birthday party was an Easter Egg Hunt at Katie's mom's house in Sugarland. She lives in a beautiful home with an enormous yard which was perfect for the event. Lily is swinging on a rope on the playset.They were waiting so nicely for me to bring them their lunch.Sisterly love My boys
Aubrey is on a mission to find LOTS of eggs.
They had an amazing variety of eggs in different shapes and sizes that were filled with all sorts of fun things including...
...confetti. SUPRISE!
The best part about hunting the eggs is digging in to all the candy. Aubrey, Lily and Emery with their friends, Justin, Harper and Asher.

Good Friday Family Service

We went to the Good Friday Family Service at our church this year. They have a light service full of singing and dramas about the story of Easter. The egg hunt is divided up by age group so the kids are guaranteed to get some eggs. I went with Lily and Emery to get their eggs while Mike took Aubrey (and Carter) to get hers.

Lily got her maximum amount of eggs.

Carter discovered that the fun is finding out what is inside the eggs. This smart boy would throw the egg off to the side if he opened it and it didn't have anything in it.

Mrs. Schmidt (the nursery director) was showing the kids this adorable bunny. They also had baby chicks for the kids to pet.They did such a nice job of all holding the bunny together.
Not sure if Carter was trying to pet the bunny or squeeze the bunny!

Dying Eggs Playdate

On Mondays and Fridays I meet with some of my friends at parks around the area and the moms take turns running while the other moms watch the kids. This day we met at the Davis' so that after our runs the kids could dye Easter eggs and have lunch together. It was Good Friday so the bigger kids didn't have school which was even more fun! Meyer is such a wonderful helper and all the babies love her.

What a pretty egg Emery!

I got this idea for bunny cupcakes from my creative sister-in-law, Ashley.

The Davis' were petting sitting Pumpkin, the hamster. He was very popular with the kids.

Preschool Egg Hunt and Picnic

The Preschool 3's at Foundry Day School went to Bearcreek Park for an egg hunt and picnic lunch. Lily and Emery were in school that day but Carter came along to join in on the fun. Aubrey, along with her friends, Scarlett and Savanah, is helping her brother practice walking.

Carter had a blast crawling all over the playground equipment. He sat still long enough to pose for this picture. I love that face!

This park had two big play areas and a number of huge pavillions. It was the perfect place for a school outing. Ms. Kathy helping the girls with their lunches.

30th Birthday Celebration

Drew has been known to take some very random pictures when he gets a camera in his hands. Sometimes the pictures have to be deleted right away but these I thought I would share. Emery heading up the stairs.

Hello Lily
Sometimes you don't even know he is taking pictures.

I think Carter is trying to tell me to quit checking my phone.

Saturday night, Drew had two girls from his youth group come over and babysit so we could do an "adult only" evening.
We enjoyed dinner at Nate's Seafood in Addison and then headed over to Pete's Piano Bars to listen to the dueling pianos.
