{ Easter Eggs }

The kids still love dying eggs every Easter.  I hope this is a tradition they'll always enjoy.  I  boil LOTS of eggs!

Here they are getting started.

 Sarah has an interesting way of doing it...

and ended up with hands that looked like this!!

 Emma Taylor is waiting patiently.

 And Anna Grace is obviously tickled about something!

 Here are some of their favorite eggs!  

We had some monogram stickers this year, so personalized some of them.  

Harrison wanted his picture with the famous brown egg, just like Papa D used to make.  You can't really tell how brown it is in this picture, but it's not pretty!  Papa D would be so proud.

 Here's my egg!

My favorite little egg dyers!

Aren't they pretty?  Harrison tried to make the brown one look better by adding green glitter. It didn't help.  Ha!  We had a great time working on these eggs together.  So much fun!

{ Boys Weekend }

While the girls and I spent the weekend in Birmingham, the boys had a guys weekend at home.  On Saturday Lee and Ben took Harrison and Cameron to do some shooting practice.  It was Harrison's first time and Lee said once he got comfortable, he really enjoyed it and ended up shooting about 100 rounds.

Later that evening, Ben took both boys to the monster truck show in Tupelo.  The boys loved it!

Turned out to be a fun weekend for everyone!

{ Snow Day }

We've had lots of crazy winter weather predictions lately and school even let out early on both Friday and Monday and then nothing happened.  Well today was finally a different story!  School was cancelled last night and nothing happened most of the morning so I thought the winter weather was going to pass us by again.  Finally a little before noon it started snowing and it hasn't stopped yet.  The kids are in heaven!


Emma Taylor went out first.  She was wanting a photo shoot!

Knox enjoyed the snow too.  When we took these pictures we didn't realize the snow was just getting started!

By the time Harrison decided to come outside the snow had really started accumulating!

 Kevin brought Kailey over to play with the kids.

 Lots of snow!

Kailey and Emma Taylor with Chill Bill!

 

Jay brought Quinn over to play with Harrison, so the kids were perfectly matched for snowball fights.

 These three were supervising.

 These kids made some BIG snowballs.

 Harrison couldn't escape this picture.  Ha!

We made some snow cream and later drank hot chocolate to warm up.  It's after 5pm and it's still snowing!  School's been cancelled for tomorrow, so we are enjoying it!

{ Valentine's Day }

Lee was out of town, at the Turkey Convention in Nashville, so the kids and I partied with the rest of the family all day.

The girls and I  started with lunch and shopping with Memaw, Candace and Cora Beth.  Cora Beth is such fun these days!

We stopped by Kathryn's new boutique in Tupelo and then headed over to the mall.  The girls all picked out some new outfits from Memaw for Valentine's Day.

We finished up with the mall, went home and packed an overnight bag for Harrison (so he could spend the night with Cameron) and then headed to Granna and Papa D's for dinner.  We ordered pizza and had some fun Valentine's Day snacks.  We also made out own sundaes, my favorite part!

Yum!

We had a great Valentine's Day.  Hope yours was full of love too!

{ Valentine's Party }

Harrison's the only one who still has a Valentine's Day party and he doesn't enjoy them nearly as much as the girls did.  :)  I was working on Friday, so he invited Granna to meet him for his party.  She was happy to join him.  He'd left his Valentine's on the table at home, so she really helped him out too!

Here are some of the pictures she took...

Waiting for Valentine's to be delivered to his (festive Black and Yellow) Valentine envelope.  :)

 Passing out drinks.

 Finally time to eat and read all the Valentine cards.

 The kids all chose their own paper and decorated their envelopes.  At least he added a heart!

Harrison and Granna both seemed to enjoy the Valentine's Day party!

{ Pre-Valentine's Day )

The kids spent some time this week getting ready for Valentine's Day.  Harrison addressed all his valentines and added some candy for each of his classmates.  His class still has a party to enjoy on Friday!

Emma Taylor doesn't have a party anymore, but she wanted to take some valentines for her friends.  We made the pretzel treats (again) and some Cupid Crunch for her to share along with some mini valentine notebooks.

 Cute Valentine nails!  

Granna printed these cute candy bar covers for their teachers too.  Hope they enjoy!

We are Valentine's Day ready!
