EASTER WEEKEND......TERRE HAUTE

Chuck, Jill and Maddie came over to have a fun Saturday. The girls loved watching themselves singing on tv !!

Checking to make sure the audience was paying attention.

Having fun watching Rachel and Maddie perform for us!

All the performing for us made for a couple of hungry little girls. Enjoying their mac and cheese and chicken nuggets.

Rebekah was enjoying all the people and the commotion.

Maddie and Rachel chilling before the big egg hunt. Learning the rules.

Finding the first eggs, the easy ones.

Maddie was really starting to get the hang of finding eggs and every time she said "wow" !!

Maddie was real excited when she found several eggs on the shelf.

Rebekah is trying not to move, afraid where she will end up!!!

Rebekah didn't know what to make of all the attention on her !! She looks unsure, like who is supervising all this??

Randi and I had fun getting a few shots of the girls in the chair together.

Maddie thought this baby swing was great fun. I wish I could have gotten a picture of her getting into it. Then she would push herself and go whee!!

Rachel got right up to the camera and said cheese take my picture, Grammy!!! She is avoiding getting her hair done before we go!

Rebekah getting ready for pictures, she will probably hate this one later in life when she sees it!!

Rebekah is alert and awake for pictures and we were able to keep her that way !!

Ready to head and for pictures and looking cute as a button !!

Jill & Chuck were gone all day to Tailgate and watch the game. They came home happy, Purdue won. Maddie spent the day with Grammy, we had a great time!! Chuck got a fire going in the fireplace and we settled in for a little Saturday evening relaxtion.
