Taylors Every Day - Ella's EOY Play and Easter

Monday
I had a staff meeting so the kids got snow cones and watched a movie in the nursery after school
I was having a "I really miss my dad" day so me and Ella went to his spot - new spring flowers!

Tuesday 
Ready for her K program to begin 
The show was "Baby Beluga" and the kids did a great job!
Rise and Shine!   Shake Your Sillies Out!  Brush Your Teeth!  Down By the Bay!
Ella had a speaking part "It's always fun to wiggle and shake, look at us now we're wide awake" 
Singing and dancing! 
What a cute little class!  Between her favorite girls right here - Grace, Olivia and Josey
The whole K - they have 4 classes at her school 
With Mammy after the show 
With her best buddies from school, Olivia and Grace 
Dairy Queen treat after the show
I started making party preparations for Caleb's bowling party
How is he going to be 8???
Wednesday 
Ella was ready for her Easter Egg hunt at school
Her teacher gave them all sand buckets to collect their eggs
Lined up and ready to go! 
Hunting in the bushes 
Counting their eggs to make sure they had 22 
With her basket full! 
Ella's teacher let her go early so we went and got slushies and sweet tea and came back to pick up Caleb 
Quarter maps arrived - Papa had lots of state quarters so we are filling them up for the great grandkids

Thursday 
Last day of school before Spring Break - YAY!!
Caleb's Easter Egg Hunt - ready to run! 
With the bags they made in class 
Two of his buddies - Eli and Grayson 
With his snack 
Caleb and Adelaide (Shh!  Don't tell but this is his first crush)
I asked him if I could take his picture with her or if he would be embarrassed and he let me!
The three amigos at school - Grayson, Caleb and Govin

Caleb has been praying Govin.  He told Caleb he believed in another god and Caleb has been very concerned he doesn't believe in the "one true God".  He is such a sweet boy and told Caleb he doesn't tell many people because he gets picked on.  Pray for Govin and his family!

The Easter bunny came to visit Ella's class 
Playing with the bunnies after school 
We tried the new snow cone place "Southern Sugar" - definitely not as good as Pelicans! 
Decorating Easter eggs with my Nana's stencils 
They had fun but made a mess!

We went to Sunrise and it was a beautiful morning!
I couldn't help but think about how Dad's, Papa's and GG's 1st Easter in Heaven was!
My sweet babies all dressed up and ready for church 
They sure do love each other (and love the cross Dad made is in the background)

Getting ready for the Easter egg hunt at mom's 
Sweet cousins - so thankful my kids have cousins to play with and grow up with on both sides of the family! 
Finding eggs - they were all so sweet to help Brooklynn and make sure she found some! 
Ella collected hers in a toy picnic basket
After they found them all - we all forgot their Easter baskets 
Mammy hid some money in a few special eggs 
Papa collected coins and had a bunch of state quarters - Caleb was helping me put them in the maps
Easter Goodies from Mammy 
With their map of state quarters - special way to remember Papa!

We had a special Easter weekend with family (Just missing dad, Mike, GG and Papa and Nana!)
So thankful that Jesus died for our sins - the nails didn't keep him on the cross - LOVE did!
