Happy Easter 2009!

Easter was awesome in the Coulter family. The Easter Bunny visited Caroline and left her a basket full of goodies. (See below)

The bunny came!!

I am so pumped!
Caroline got a bunny that sang and danced to "Peter Cottontail"
Some lovely blue Dollar General crocs that she adores and calls her "coot shoooes"
A bunny cup and some other goodies.

We made it to early church almost on time and Caroline actually stayed in the nursery and did not cry too much! We sang all of the old traditional hymns that really make me thankful for what Easter is all about. After that we headed to Mammy and Papa's for lunch with all of my side of the family (about 45 people!). The kids hunted eggs until Mammy told us there was one egg with $100 in it and all of the children were pushed to the side by the adults trying to find it! Congrats to John Pylant this year, but watch out for the Coulter's next Easter!!

Caroline was perfectly content to just find one egg and eat the candy inside then hunt for more.

We have a tradition in my family to hit the hard boiled eggs with a baseball bat after we find them. They explode all over our nice Easter clothes but that is part of the fun. Everyone has to hit one, from the oldest to the youngest, and Caroline got in on the action this year.
Hit it on our very first try!

After naps,we went to the Coulter's for an Easter dinner cookout. Caroline and Hannah hunted eggs and Caroline got her easter basket. We ate and had a great time. We even had a photo op in Me Me and Pappy's gorgeous back yard.
