The girls get SO excited about coming to Easter each year!  You can’t imagine all the fun we have playing with our family in East Texas!

The Pond girls + Mommy!

  

 

Anna Kate was having a fun photo shoot with Daddy (see how far the hill goes down behind her… so cool), and Anna Kate and Noelle were so excited to see their cousin Melissa!

Cousin Brittany and I had fun catching up!  She moved closer to us now that she finished college, so we will see her a lot more often, yay!

These were some excited girls right here!!!

 

I love the back of Anna Kate’s dress!  Here go the big girls to check out the big “surprise!”

Oh sweet baby Rose, what I’d give for you to smile at the camera, lol!

 

There.  Got it!  You’re sooo cute and funny!  By this time, Noelle and Anna Kate were having a ball on the big slide!

Aww, love this pic of me and my Cutie Kate!

 

Harper and Rose really hit it off this visit!  I think they will remember each other next time!  Cousin time is so special!

  

Harper and Rose were amused by Noelle and Anna Kate’s silly faces.  My sweet little diva still looks so cute and little in my lap… I want to keep her little forever!

The PondFam5 is all smiles tonight!

Our first game tonight was a scavenger hunt around our family center.  The big girls and I ended up at Pawpaw and Granny’s grave reminiscing about how special they are to us!  Some might find it odd, but it’s a big part of our lives and why we come home to celebrate Easter.  To thank God for our loved ones, remember them and our hope in Him during this time.

 

We waited a little too late to take grandparents pics, as the sun was already going down… they’re still super cute!

After Mike taught Rose how to climb up the slide, I bet she went round and round 100 times!  She was in heaven!

 

So was our middle child!

Next was the bunny hop sack races! 

Anna Kate won her little division… yay Anna Kate!

 

Such cute little sack hoppers!  Rose was so intrigued!

She actually did a pretty good job!

 

Until she thought it would be more fun to put the sack over her head!  The Pond girls were in the middle of the best night ever right here!

 

Noelle was determined to win the egg and spoon balancing race!  I’ve never seen her so focused, and it paid off!  It was so neat… everyone won something special thanks to cousin Linda and all her amazing efforts to always make our reunion weekend so special and down right FUN!
