Easter in Shreveport

We spent this Easter in Shreveport. The Saturday before Easter we celebrated at Jee Jee's church. They had games in the gymnasium and an egg hunt outside. Here, the boys and cousin Jack Michael are hoping for a catch at the fishing booth.

This is our cousin Jude. He's only two years old, but is becoming the family comedian. He kept us in stitches the whole weekend.

Cousin Hannah, Patrick, Adam, and cousin Noah.

Adam proved to be an excellent egg hunter!

Patrick and his winnings

Cousin Jacob fell and scraped his knees right before the egg hunt. So Dad carried him, as we all helped to gather eggs for Jacob.

Jee Jee had a stuffed pinata waiting for us at home. Uncle Mike and Aunt Kelly rounded up the kids.

Cousin Abby pulled the winning string! CANDY!!!!

Our little chocoholic, Adam, immediately broke away from the crowd to eat his share. No sense wasting any time!

Cousin Jacob feeling better.

Going to Shreveport always means taking lots and lots of pictures.

Happy Easter Morning! The Lord has risen and the Easter bunny paid us a visit!!!

Lots of candy and bi-plane kites!

Adam is so excited to have more chocolate!

Before getting dressed for church, the boys had to try their kites. They weren't so lucky. Later, we even tried flying them out of the car as we drove down the street--wish we had a picture of that. We still weren't lucky!

A few pics before heading off to church. Adam was not happy to leave all of his candy.

A little help from Patrick!

Part of the boys' new Easter attire were these preppy little ties. Surprisingly, they loved them; Adam was just still upset to be away from his candy.

Now, Patrick's upset because he thinks he saw a bee buzzing nearby. Family pictures can be a nightmare! Happy Easter!
