The Next Step

We had a great Easter weekend. Sunday, we headed to Raleigh to spend Easter with my family at my parent's house. Thankfully, everyone was able to come and the cousins got to spend lots of time together. This was the first day Ruthie was around a lot of people who were paying attention to her and she didn't have a meltdown. Lots of people held her and she may have actually liked it. It was a complete change from the norm. It was awesome.

Another advantage was that my Grandma and Grandpa were there so we were able to spend time with them. Unfortunately, they lost their house in the recent tornados, but miraculously were unhurt (other than a few scrapes). They are staying at my parents until they can move into their condo this week.

We had a delicious lunch and afterwords, played with bubbles,
Ruthie loves bubbles



played some golf and baseball


Hanging out with Gigi

and PapaRuthie and Aunt Nana matched
and had an Easter Egg hunt, of course!


Ruthie was happiest with an egg in each hand, banging them together

and showing them off

here she is checking out Jay's stash!



We attempted a family photo, and here is how Ruthie felt about it, I think her face is hilarious!

After that all we had to do was put her on her Daddy's shoulders and she was happy!
Here is a close up!We were also able to get some good cousin shots! So cute!!!


We had a great Easter and hope you did also!
