Easter 2010 (April 2-4)

I've been waiting to post Easter pics because my sister-in-law has the great photos. These are just the shots taken from my camera. Andrea's are much better and include pics with the entire family, so hopefully I can add those later.

We decided to pack up and meet ABCDE at DeDe & Pop's house for Easter. We had an awesome visit. It was quick and action packed (as always). The kids had such a blast together. We are so fortunate to have loving cousins. Everyone gets along perfectly. I am so incredibly blessed to have this family in my life!

The majority of the pics displayed are from our adventure to Wye Mountain. There are thousands of jonquils on Wye Mountain, so it always makes for a beautiful photo op.

Carson was a maniac! When we loaded in the car to go home, he had scrapes and bumps and cuts from running and falling down so many times. He was not interested in the flowers. He just wanted to run, run, run (as you will see by the lack of good Carson photos). Needless to say, I was whipped when we were done. It was worth it though!

DeDe is a great helper. Such a cute shot with Alex anxiously waiting.
Alex leads the way...
But Carson tries to pull ahead.
Our precious kids
Alex was trying so hard to keep Carson still ;)

This is my favorite photo of the group. Carson is running towards the cross.
Happy, happy girl
Beautiful flowers
Look at all of those gorgeous Darby kids
Everyone is looking!
Eston is unsure of what Alex is up to...shocker ;)
He quickly takes the lead
Eston is so dang cute!

Look, the silly Easter Bunny hid an egg by the birdhouse just for Alex ;)

What a wonderful holiday!
