Easter 2009

We celebrated Easter with Erin & Dylan during the morning, then we headed over to the Boudreaux's for family fun. It poured down rain, so we all sat under the patio and had to have the eggs hidden various places around and under the patio area.

Gone are the days of precious Easter dresses, new spring shoes, and exciting Easter basket treats. Most times it's great having kids that are getting older and more independent, but during times like this I kind of miss them being smaller. I requested that Dylan put on a nice shirt before going to Granny's house, but he threw on an old T-shirt with his jeans. If he were a little kid, I would have dressed him how I wanted to and made sure he had a fresh haircut. Now, I have to allow his own style. Erin used to love hanging out with her cousins, but all day today she moped around asking when we were leaving so she could go see her friends. If she were younger, she would just be happy to play with any other little kids. Any other day of the year (except maybe Christmas) it's cool having older kids now, but today it was just a little sad. All this said, I am thankful this Easter for family, although they are getting older ;-)
