Easter Afternoon

After church, we came home to eat a yummy lunch and then the kids did their homework while Emma napped. After nap time we enjoyed a nice walk and then enjoyed the sunshine playing outside and cracking cascarones. Maddi was the first victim!

Then Emalyn. I don't think she knew how pretty her hair loooked, but she LOVED cracking the eggs herself.

Cade was the next victim.

Emma just smashed the pink egg! She was wearing one of Maddi's old costumes and the way she would smash the eggs and her costume looked like she was doing a salsa dance or something. It was funny.

Omie and Grammy had both sent the kids Easter baskets filled with goodies earlier in the week. Omie sent cascarones and the Easter Bunny brought some to the kids too, so there was plenty of confetti. It reminded me of Fiesta back in the old days in good old San Antonio!

More egg cracking....

...and egg throwing!

I think Emalyn would love Fiesta in San Antonio!

Emalyn also loved playing with her bubbles from the Easter Bunny. It was so crazy windy that it was very easy to make bubbles.


It was a fun day as a family. We did miss our extended family and Maddi was in tears Easter night because she missed her extended family so much. We gave all the grandparents a phone call and that helped Maddi a little. To make things worse, the next day was Grandparents Day at school and of course, like every year, she didn't have a grandparent to go to school. Miss Maddi is a sweet heart and loves her family more than anything. I pray that we can get back to Texas soon so she can have the love and attention that she craves from all of her family.
