This Easter, the kiddos and I got up bright and early. We got ready for church and then Papa and Nana came to pick us up to go to Missouri. Grandma Shirley and Grandpa James followed us. Unfortunately, Jason had to work, so he was unable to go. Papa got us to Aunt Ashley's house a little earlier than expected, so the kiddos got to play for a little bit before we left for church. Karsyn had fun playing Jessi's drum set.

Church service was great! Chad and Ashley's church had an Evangelist preaching and he was really good. At one point, he asked the question if anyone had ever locked their keys in their car. We all started cracking up, because Evan accidentally locked us out of the house this morning. We knew Daddy would be home before us, so no worries. =) After church, we had a super yummy cookout at Chad and Ashley's house. While the burgers were cooking, I was trying to snap pictures of all 5 kiddos while they were still in their Easter clothes. This, yes friends THIS, is the best picture that I could take.

After we took pictures and ate, it was time for an egg hunt! Some of Ashley's super sweet neighbor kids joined in on the fun.

| Sweet Karsyn egg hunts like a champ! |

| One last check for eggs! |
After the egg hunt, I made one last desperate attempt to get a picture of the kiddos. I think this is the best picture of the day.

Then, Aunt Ashley and Uncle Chad handed all of the kiddos jumbo pixie sticks. Yikes!

After the Egg-stravaganza, it was time to head home. When we got in the car, Karsyn started coughing a lot! Just as we entered the great state of Oklahoma, Karsyn got sick. We stopped and Nana bought her a new outfit and we got her and the SUV all cleaned out. After that stop, she got sick 3 more times. Payton was sitting right next to Karsyn, but instead of being grossed out, Payton took amazing care of Karsyn. She wiped her nose. She propped her head up. She even helped me clean up her throw up. If that's not love, I just don't know what is. =) Hopefully, Karsyn will be feeling better soon. I'm glad that we got to enjoy such a wonderful Easter before she got sick. Thanks so much to our family!
Oh no! Poor Karsyn! Does she get carsick? I thought maybe that was all it was since it happened in the car. I had terrible car sickness when I was little and still have a little case of motion sickness when we drive in the mountains or I get to hot in the car. Hope she isn't sick or that it is just a very short little bug. I love all the Easter fun, and Addi's faces definitely show she is the life of the party! Sadly, since our trip meant we got home late last night, we didn't do any egg hunting. I actually didn't even have a chance to give them Easter goodies this year, but they really haven't even noticed. ;-)
ReplyDeleteI hope Karsyn feels better soon.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun Easter! I love the picture of Karsyn with her pixie stick... maybe she had too much pixie dust??
ReplyDeleteLooks like everyone had a great time! Happy (belated) Easter!
ReplyDeleteI am so glad you guys came up. It made it feel like a holiday.
ReplyDeleteOh poor Karsyn. What a way to end Easter. It looked like you had a good holiday before that though.
