I had told DJ back in November that I wanted to go home for Thanksgiving. I had several family members that I haven't seen in years since I haven't been home for the holidays, and I really wanted a big family Easter like I had growing up. We tried to work out a way for him to come too, but he had practice on Friday until noon and had to be back Monday; if he would've come it would have been a super fast trip and we would've had to leave Sunday afternoon missing out on a lot of the fun. So, we opted for him to stay home and the girls and I to go together. They were out of school on Friday, so we got up and left around 8.
Gretchen and Gabby were front seat buddies.
We stopped in West, Tx for kolaches! We use to always stop at The Czech Stop on road trips, but haven't in a while because we like to get where we are going ;) But, kolaches were a must on our girls road trip to Gee's house.
We arrived in to Little Rock, stopped by a friend's house and made it to Gee's around 6 just in time for dinner.
Saturday morning, Gee made bacon and pancakes and the dogs split a piece.
Megan and Adalyn went to their cousin's house while Gretchen and I had a slow morning. We got dressed and waited on DJ's mom to drive down to spend the day with us.
She arrived around noon, just in time for us to go to Amelia's family birthday party.
After the party, we ran in to town and picked up shoes. I had forgotten that the pair I was planning on wearing had broken, so I needed new ones.
When we got home, Gretchen booted me out of the driver's seat and drove down the driveway.
We spent the rest of the afternoon dying Easter eggs.
Megan helped Gee mix up the dye.
The girls all took turns using the egg-magic marker kit to color their eggs.
The kit that Gee bought was dinosaur themed, so the girls had a blast turning their eggs in to dinosaurs!
Once we ready to dye the eggs, we took it outside.
Egg dying use to be such a pain when they were little, but gosh, now that they're older we can sit back and watch and it's so much more fun! Ha!
Megan opted for licking her eggs. She also tried drinking the dye but that's neither here nor there.
A quick picture with Nana before she had to leave to head back home.
That evening we had dinner, and the girls decided to sleep in Gee's camper!
Which meant our Easter bunny could come early and I could get to bed!
