Easter

Easter this year was so much fun! We spent the first part at Danale's (Jason's sister) in-laws house. I love how our families are. Family is just family and it doesn't matter how we are related. They make us feel like we are family too! We had an early Easter dinner and then the kids had an Easter egg hunt outside.

Justin's Dad was so sweet with Ashlyn. This was her first Easter egg hunt and she wasn't sure what it was all about. He took her hand and lead her to her first egg and showed her how to put it in the basket. While he was shaking the egg to show her something was inside, it popped open and candy flew out! She got so excited when she realized there was candy inside!

I can't decide if it was more fun to watch Ashlyn get excited about Easter, or watching Jason's reaction to Ashlyn getting excited about Easter! He is definitely a proud papa!
