The Alexander Crew: Happy Easter!

Whew - what a whirlwind of a weekend we had! Our Easter festivities began on Friday morning with an egg hunt with our Moments 4 Moms group from our church. We had our egg hunt at the playground and could not have asked for a more beautiful day! God's sun was shining and his birds were singing and his little children were hunting for eggs and having a GREAT time!

Jill and her friend Coleigh playing - we don't get to see her enough these days!

Luke with all his "loot" - he is now a professional egg-hunter!

Jilly finding a little "loot" of her own.

At first Luke thought he should open each egg he found but he quickly figured out that if he continued in this manner there would be no more eggs to find so he changed his "strategy."

After our egg hunt on Friday, we went and checked Eli out from school to get ready for his soccer game in Tusacloosa. Jamie got off work early so that he and Eli could head to the game and I took Jill and "the littles" and headed to gymnastics. After gymnastics, we came back home, loaded up the car and set out for Grammy & Poppa's, with a stop on the way at Jill's favorite restaurant, Oskar's in Dadeville, for a little catfish! Eli's team won their soccer game - GO STING and Saturday they joined us in Tallassee. Saturday morning we had Elam's annual Easter egg hunt, complete with puppet show and telling of the Easter story. In the afternoon, the men got to enjoy a little golf while the rest of the gang did a little last minute Easter shopping and then played! A fun time was had by all until...the stomach bug hit! About 1am poor little Jilly got sick and so early Easter morning, she and Dad loaded up and headed back to Chelsea - just after opening Easter baskets. The stomach bug also hit at the Bryant house, poor Uncle Mike! So the photos below are missing three smiling faces but enjoy! (You will see Jill in the egg hunt photos!)
