The Cow Family: Easter Egg Hunt

This past Saturday was our neighborhood's annual Easter Parade and Egg Hunt. What an event! We had no idea what to expect, but knew Ava would love it no matter what. We started out at the Turtle Fountain where the Easter Bunny came in on a firetruck and passed out candy. From there, the parade went down the street to the "egg patch." At first, Ava wasn't sure what to do, but she quickly picked it up :) After the egg hunt, everyone headed over to the "Lion and Bear" park across from our house for an afternoon of fun and games. Lunch was catered by McAlister's (yum) and there were all kinds of activities for the kiddos. There were stations set up for cookie decorating, arts & crafts, face painting, and knap-sack races. The Easter Bunny even had a special place where a photographer took pictures of each child with him. Too fun!

On another note, Grandpa Putsey had cancer removal surgery on Friday that went very well. The tumor was removed and he is recuperating very well. Hopefully he will be out of ICU soon and can go home shortly after that! Pop Pop Vaca is also having some minor surgery mid-month, so we ask that you keep both of our Grandpa's in your thoughts and prayers this month!

We're looking forward to Easter. The Easter Bunny may have gone overboard this year, but what can you do? It's the first time Ava's old enough to get it, so we're excited to add to her happiness. We'll start off the day by going to our church's first service nice and early. Then we're going to our friends, the Clark's, house for brunch. Last but not least, we'll celebrate His resurrection with a complete meal from Honeybaked Ham (who wants to cook?)

Little Audrey is doing great. She's 8 weeks old and loves to eat! She's 11 1/2 pounds already and has nice chunky legs that mommy loves to squeeze. She has also started smiling at us which puts us over the moon. What a cutie!
