Easter 2026

We had a wonderful Easter at Cathy and Bob's.

Big and little cousins this year!  Jillian is holding Hazel, Brock and Kaylee's little girl.
Harper has Jo, Ty and Deb's baby, and Bridget has Grant.
Challenging getting a good picture of them all.


Egg hunt, Harper helping Hattie.

Josie's bag was full when she was done!


Looking through their stuff.


Josie in the background was excited to get K-Pop socks!

The adult egg hunt/craft challenge.
This one was third place.

First place winner-Dan told a great story about the Easter 
bunny looking for the gold.

Second place, James' story was about an Easter bunny war at the beach,
if I heard it right!

The kid's discussing who should win.

Giving out trophies.

Next up was the kid's egg roll.

The little girl's playing with their prizes.

Adult egg roll.

Cale won, Dan's Step-Mom Wendy was second and Ava third.

Jillian and Bridget won the raw egg toss.  Ava and Harper
did better than they've ever done before.

It was a very warm and fun Easter!
And me with my favorite guy.

Hattie & Ellie

I had some playtime with Hattie on Tuesday, she's such a sweetheart.

Ellie is sitting up pretty well now, but she would much rather be exploring.

She loves these rings, takes them off and throws them.

Ellie

With the sunshine yesterday we were able to take Ellie out for some swing time.



Allissa's picture of Ellie in the tub-looking more like Daddy than ever!

Ellie, Ava and Harper

Ava and Harper came up Saturday.  We did some thrift shopping and then went to see Project Hail Mary at the Theatre Pub, it was really good.
Sunday we painted with an Easter theme, except Papa's painting-it looks like something under the sea.


This was a worried Ellie on Friday, she loves to tip over the toy basket, but this time something went wrong and she was in it.

Rielee, Parker, Ellie

Rielee and Parker at a birthday party for Des on Sunday.  
Rielee is on Spring break and working at Red Leaf.  She told us how her classes are going.  Of the three nursing clinicals she has - pediatrics, labor and delivery, and NICU, she prefers labor and delivery.
She'll graduate in December.

Laury loaned us Hattie's bouncer, Ellie really likes it!

Ellie and Hattie

Ellie came over a couple of times this week while her Gigi
ran into town.  She's trying hard to learn to crawl.

Hattie came over today, we played with Play Doh, Barbies,
and blocks, and she drew a picture of Grandma and added lots of stickers.

Josie

I had such a fun time playing with Josie today.
She painted an Easter bunny decoration, we made a fort that she turned it into her office,
and played Barbies.  Today's theme was a baby shower.
