Easter Weekend

Easter ranks right up there with Christmas as one of my favorite holidays. Is there really anyone else more worthy of celebrating than Jesus??? We packed the weekend full of family time and loved every single minute of it. We love it when we don't have to share each other (sounds selfish I know) and can just devote 100% of our attention to each other. Here's a breakdown of our weekend and pictures!! I have no idea how to narrow down pictures to post so beware...there may be a lot.

Thursday - Trip to the New Orleans Zoo and Cafe Du Monde (but they taste better when you make them at home from the mix). Nora started saying Ava! Ava is so proud! It sounds more like "A-ya." We also got to see some filming of the movie "Red." I wanted to catch a glimpse of Morgan Freeman or Bruce Willis but no such luck. I love Morgan Freeman. That would have been awesome!
Good Friday - Nora's first time in a pool, planted more tomato plants in our garden and Nora filled her tummy with dirt. Movie night (Friday night tradition) with Pete's Dragon. Nora said "bye bye" and "nana."
Saturday - Easter egg hunt at Christ United Methodist, lunch at the diner where Ava said, "I think I need caffeine," when the waitress asked her what she wanted to drink. Love her!!!
Sunday - Church, lunch and egg hunt at Nana & Papa's. Papa was the favorite after he put quarters in the eggs. Way to go Papa! I also got a craving for homemade bread. I've had good luck with it in the past but this recipe...not so much.

Of course a day doesn't go by where Ava doesn't say something wonderful. Yesterday, she was talking to her Granny who had told her that Mamaw was in Mississippi. Ava said, "Oh...is Miss Sippy there too?" Bless her sweet heart. What sweet and perfect inocense.
