Easter in BR

These pics are from Easter Day.  We spent the day at my grandparent's house and ate crawfish and drank beer all day long...well James did anyway.  Avery had a great time with her cousins, playing with her and keeping her busy.  

Of course we had to start the day with cafe au lait and beignets!!

The uplifted tree stump behind my two uncles in this picture is the old pecan tree next to my grandparents house.  You can see it upright in the June 2008 BR crawfish posting, behind Avery and her cousin Nathan.  Unfortunately, it was blown down onto their house during Gustav last year.

This girly-girl has to have her heels!  She had a few to pick from and of course chose the ones that went best with her dress.

Our Little Horticulturalist

I meant to put these up before the Easter pictures.  Our little Avery is becoming quite the toddler with a green thumb.  She thoroughly enjoyed helping me plant the new flowers for the side of the house.  Before Easter, she and Sharon got different herb and veggie seeds planted.  Soon we will have a nice little herb/veggie garden to enjoy.  And in case they aren't distinguishable in the pictures, she has her very own Dora the Explorer garden gloves and hand cultivator. Everyday is Earth Day here!!

Easter Egg Hunt At School

Since Avery goes to school everyday of the week, she got to participate in two Easter egg hunts. Sharon (her Mimi) and I were the (last minute) "volunteers" those two mornings to help out with getting the kids ready for the hunt and hiding the eggs.  Here are some shots on both hunting days, in the classroom and outside as the hunting is getting underway!
