Happy Easter!
We survived a busy, busy weekend at church events and with our families in town.
Friday afternoon, we took Benjamin to the Peabody to watch his cousin, Abby Lynn, be the honorary Duckmaster. And yes...forgot the camera. However...we did have the video camera, so watch for a clip very soon. Benjamin helped her, and they both got to pick out a duck from the gift shop.
Friday evening, Todd's grandmother arrived with her sister from Texarkana, and his parents arrived from Jonesboro. We hung out at their hotel for a while and let Benjamin ride the bellhop cart, play behind the curtains, and otherwise entertain everyone.
Saturday morning, everyone gathered at church for our Children's Celebration and Easter Egg Hunt.
Benjamin acted like he had been doing this for years...picking up the eggs...
...putting them in the basket...
...and moving on to the next spot.
We had Todd's grandmother, her sister, Todd's Parents, Jenny's Parents, Todd's older brother, Jenny's older sister, Todd's niece, Abby Lynn, and her Grandparents, Dick and Jenny, who came up for the weekend to watch the fun.
In addition to all of the fam, Jenny's best friends Katie and Sarah came with their families...Sarah and Todd brought Abby, Ethan, and Emma. Katie and Jason brought Katie's sister and family, Katie's parents, and Jason's parents. We were so glad that so many of our friends got to enjoy the weather and take part in our Easter Egg Hunt.
This is Katie and Jason's little man, Zack...one of Ben's best buds...and who, apparently, was a little confrontational with another child who snagged an Egg! (Thankfully, no one threw a punch...) Just kidding. Zack's a doll. Just a funny snapshot of him.
Sunday morning, Ben woke up to a basketful of treats from Mommy, Daddy, Grammy, and Granddad.

Sunday afternoon, we had our family lunch at Jenny's aunt's house. Jenny's parents stopped in for some hoops, with the toy basketball goal they brought him for Easter (yes, he has two different socks on).
Thanks to Pippi, Poppa, Grammy, and Grandad for spending the weekend with us, and for all that you do to make Benjamin's life perfect! We love you!

What a fun Easter for Benjamin!! He looks so adorable in his Easter outfit! He needs to come and show Taylor how you keep the eggs in the basket and not just pick them up and throw them.
