Egg hunting with the Blackwells

While we were in Alexandria for
the weekend we had an egg hunt
and hot dogs with my best friend
Ashley, her husband Brian, and their
daughter Isabella.

Easter Baskets

Aaron was very excited
about his easter gifts from Pop Pop,
Gram & Paw-Paw, and Mommy
and Daddy. He was thrilled with
his fishing pole and Toy Story Hat!

Pocking the eggs

We have a tradition of "pocking" or
"knocking" our dyed easter
eggs in my family. Aaron is still a
little confused by the idea but he
had fun anyway

and loves to go swimming. He learned the basics-
we are looking forward to next year!

Building and planting the garden

Aaron and Daddy built and planted
the garden this weekend. Aaron loved
every minute of it! Even if nothing grows
it was worth it to see him get into it so much.

Plus we will just turn it into a big
dirt pit for him to play in... but hopefully we
will get some veggies out of it.

Here are the tools laid out and ready.
Aaron made sure to match his tools
with daddys. He also knows all
of names of the different tools.

Each man to his corner

So excited about the finished product!
