Kids of Compassion Easter Egg Hunt
We hosted the first ever Kids of Compassion Easter Egg Hunt tonight & it was a blast! We kicked the evening off with a pizza supper & then Amy read the Easter story to the kids. We did a typical Easter Egg hunt but decided to use the money in the prize eggs to buy bunnies or chicks through World Vision for families in need. I explained the 'rules' of the hunt to everyone and then the whole crew was off! They all did a great job finding their prize eggs with a little help from some windmills. When the hunt was finished, each child chose whether to buy a bunny or chick & turned their money in the designated basket.....in return they got either a bunny or chick sucker. We ended up with $80.00! It was a great experience & the older ones are really starting to catch on to the importance of giving. After the hunt, the kids indulged in the content of their eggs, along with rice krispie treats, brownies, Easter suckers & popsicles. They ran wild until well after dark & had so much fun! We are already looking forward to next year!

Gumbeaux's
Mine & Dan's most FAVORITE restaurant in Douglasville is Gumbeaux's. It is absolutely the BEST cajun food anywhere, owned & operated by Robert, a 'Rajin' Cajun' himself. It is also a great past time because it was our 'go to' restaurant with friends & family while we lived there....lots of memories. Needless to say, we miss it & eat there any chance we get. We just always leave Daniel & Laura Ann with Nanna & Big Daddy & have date nights there when we are in town. We realized today when we stopped there for lunch before getting to Nanna & Big Daddy's that this was their first time to eat there! And that certainly is a momenteous occasion, so I recorded it with my camera! Welcome to Cajun food heaven, Daniel & Laura Ann!!!
A Visit with the Easter Bunny
We went to the Bass Pro Shop tonight to see the Easter Bunny. Daniel and Laura Ann were very excited to see him and gave him LOTS of hugs, high fives & smiles. As we were walking away, Laura Ann said, "There was a people inside there!" Ha! Daniel had already pointed this out to her earlier in the week when I got out our Easter Bunny pictures from past years. After our photo op, we went to the snack bar and had some yummy grilled sandwiches for supper. Daniel and Laura Ann also enjoyed watching the fish and 'riding' the four wheelers while we were there. The Bass Pro Shop never fails to be great entertainment! :)
Dying Eggs!
Daniel decided he'd rather play outside, so Laura Ann and I dyed eggs by ourselves this year. She loved every single minute of it and did a great job!

Charlotte, John David, Ian & Laura Ann (modeling one of the most beautiful dresses from Mimi's dress up bin)
Me, Leigh Ann, Precious Baby Catherine & Alison
Laura Ann & I headed to Decatur today after church to meet the newest Wise baby, sweet Catherine. Gran, Alison & Ian came too and we all met at Charlotte's house. Catherine is just beyond precious & I got to get a good baby fix in! The kids had a blast playing (minus Daniel who had baseball practice) and the rest of us had a great time catching up. After a yummy dinner, it was time to say goodbye to my sweetest, oldest friends. Congratulations to Leigh Ann on another precious little girl! It was a great visit & I will be looking forward to our next one!

Fans from Everywhere!
Sweet Cousins
Twins, complete with matching ponytails!
Daniel playing 3rd base
Big Daddy, Nanna, Uncle Matt & Caroline came today for Daniel's game. Daniel & Laura Ann haven't seen Caroline for awhile & were super excited to have her visit! She and Laura Ann wasted no time dressing up in princess dresses when she got here and Daniel did his job of terrorizing the princesses. Dan grilled hotdogs for lunch and not long after we ate it was time to head to the ballpark. Laura Ann has the same shirt that Caroline was wearing, and she insisted on wearing hers too so that they could be 'twins'. I made them matching ponytails too. Cute girls! Then we all headed to the ballpark where we met Gran & Papa. Daniel had quite the cheering section.......fans from Georgia, South Carolina & North Alabama.......what a treat! It was a great day at the ballpark & we all enjoyed watching Daniel play.
