Although the weather was pretty yucky today and Madelyn is fairly sick, we still had a nice Easter with the family...
We started with a family egg hunt in the living room (it was raining outside). Madelyn knew exactly what to do and loved putting the eggs in her basket!
After a nice nap we got dressed and headed over to Gigi's for Easter Lunch
Modeling her Easter outfit.

Playing with her goodies and even sharing her stickers with the kitty!

I grew up in San Antonio and a big part of growing up there is Fiesta. Fiesta and Easter are almost always back to back. A tradition of Fiesta are confetti filled eggs called cascarones. You take these eggs and crack them over someone else's head. My parents always have a few dozen of these for Easter. Today, Madelyn had her first taste of cascarones.

HAPPY EASTER!!

A Texas Tradition
It is a Texas thing to take pictures in the bluebonnets every year...Unfortunately, the bluebonnets do not last very long and they are on their way out so we had to go take some today. I do not think that these pictures are the best but I had to get some with Madelyn this year :)

Early Easter Celebrations!
Madelyn's school had a little Easter Celebration today...They went on an Easter Egg Hunt around the school and then had a picnic lunch. When we got home, Madelyn was so excited to play with her eggs. She did not really care what was inside of the eggs she just wanted to open and close them!

Easter Basket
My good friend, Jennifer, had a great idea for making an Easter Basket for the kiddos this year. I, of course, had to make one for Madelyn. I think that it turned out pretty cute :)
