Easter

Our Easter weekend was fun filled family time.  On Saturday we went to Gridley to be with Rich's family.  We were excited to see Anne's family before their move to Colorado.  We enjoyed hanging out and having an Easter egg hunt.  We also celebrated Kobie's & Rachel's birthdays.  It is so much fun being with everyone and watching Ava interact with her cousins.

Ava using a bag for her eggs after she already filled her basket.  It was so hard to get a picture of her because she didn't want to stop and look.

Rich holding Abby.  She is so cute!

Ava sad because Rich is holding Abby and not her.

Now everyone is happy.

Aunt Jessica got out the t-ball equipment for the kids to play.

Ava actually hit it.

Rich playing (wrestling) with the little ones.  I love that the Bowling boys are such awesome dads and uncles.  I feel very blessed to be married to Rich and into his family.

 On Easter Sunday Ava woke up to a note and map from the Easter Bunny.  The Easter Bunny knew she loves Dora and had her go on an adventure to find her treasure.  After Ava found some eggs and candies around the house she was lead to her treasure on the kitchen table.  She got a Rapunzel doll, Jake and the Neverland Pirates smoothie cup, and hand bells.  Ava was excited about all of them.  Rich and I were excited to try out the hand bells.

After church we spent time with my parents and brother.  It was a nice afternoon of eating, playing games, and Ava unwrapping presents.  We feel very blessed because she is so spoiled and loved.  It was a wonderful day.

Luca followed Ava throughout the hunt and was hoping she would drop some candy for him.

Ava found the candy hidden on the freezer handle.
