Parade and Prebirthday bash

Jacob and Merry's little preschool had a fiesta parade. Our float was sort of sad so we had a band instead.

Cousin Paul came along to be the tambourine player.

We also had a prebirthday bash for Gracie this weekend. We made a giant cupcake cake to celebrate.

Gracie was rather confused,

but she warmed up once we gave her a piece of cake.
Another cake to come.

Easter egg hunters

Jacob carefully stepped around my flower to retrieve an egg from the yarrow plant. I am really liking the tan socks with shorts look.
If you look closely, Merry has a bloody nose. Jacob and her collided in the excitement prior to the egg hunt.
Gracie found one egg then happily sucked on the candy inside. After the eggs were brought inside she looted the other hunters baskets.

Lest you thought I forgot sweet baby Grace

Even more blue bonnets

My sister's kids. This is in front of my brother's house in College Station. It was so beautiful there it made me want to move there. Then I went to the Walmart in Bryan and decided I was happy just where I am with multiple Targets in a five mile radius.

My sister's cute family.

Usually I think pictures are priceless- this last picture I can definitely put a price on. The cost is 1 pink cell phone that is somewhere in this field of bluebonnets, a pair of broken flip-flops and a few plastic eggs. These are the items that were casualties of our blue bonnet pictures in College Station. So if you find a pink cell phone in a blue bonnet field, dial #2 and let Brian know.

Easter finery prepose

I have still been on a fabric buying ban, so for Easter dress I dug out some leftovers from a quilt I made Merry. I think the light blues are so cute on both my girls. I tried to talk Jacob into trying on his Easter finery but he didn't want to take off his spider man shirt. I see where his priorities are.

She didn't want to take off her leggings because she was worried someone might see her legs.

Sweet baby Grace.
