Priddy-Mullen-Stauss-Bona-Mishoe Family Easter Weekend 2011

The biggest and brightest event in April was Easter weekend...which I like to call "Priddy-Mullen-Stauss-Bona-Mishoe Family Easter Weekend 2011." It was awesome! Though everyone couldn't make it...and believe they were missed terribly...we had an incredibly blessed weekend spending time with family. Here are some day-to-day play-by-plays of the weekend:

FRIDAY:
Everyone arrived Friday afternoon and evening. We inhaled some pizzas, and then the adults went to the Good Friday service while the kids stayed home and got Baby Carowine through her evening bedtime ritual. But before that, we just had fun smiling!

Aunt Suzy-Q got to help Caroline with her favorite time of day...bath-time!

SATURDAY:
We started Saturday with an awesome breakfast...big, beautiful Belgian waffles and fruit...and lots and lots of coffee. As you can see, Uncle Wayne is really enjoying his breakfast!

The Mullens and the Bonas took a trip to Target for some last minute Easter items. Aunt Suzy-Q and Uncle Jeff bought Caroline some really cool blocks and a "Fancy Nancy" book. Caroline is playing with Aunt Suzy-Q and enjoying her new blocks!

Sometime Saturday, it got hot and muggy so we decided to let Caroline run around in just a diaper. But we ran into one small problem...she kept taking her diaper off! So in an effort to keep
her from doing this, "Engineer Papi" was on a mission...and he succeeded!

Another bath-time...this time with Aunt Nancy and Aunt Pam!

























EASTER SUNDAY!
Easter was fantastic. We all went to church together and took up two pews! Then, we came home and ate a big Easter dinner...ham, turkey, two kinds of potatoes, rolls, and all kinds of great stuff! Then, we watched as Caroline found what the Easter bunny had left her! The weekend was absolutely wonderful and we will never forget it. Even though we don't live as close to each other as we'd like, I thank the Lord daily for the family he has blessed me with. We love each other and genuinely enjoy each other's company. I know it was a long blog posting of the weekend, but I wanted there to be plenty of memories for everyone to share and enjoy, and I wanted the Mishoes, Priddy's, and Andrades to feel like they were part of the weekend as well! God bless my family! Miss you all!
