Garner family Easter

The Garner family was up first for Easter celebration this year.  Unlike last year, the weather was perfect! We arrived a little late but got there in time for the good stuff! We were there just in time to hunt eggs and then play outside with the family.  The Garner family gets the award for the most rapid growth! Two years ago, Drew and Anna Kate were the only kids around. Now they get to share family gatherings with 5 new cousins! In addition, this is the only side of the family that has little girls for Anna Kate to play with! Everywhere else we go, its stinky ole' boys. Granny Ann sure knows how to make a holiday special and we really enjoy getting to spend time with everyone!
We had a busy day before our dinner. Drew and Anna Kate went for their Easter pictures earlier in the day. I am happy to report that the bunny and baby chicks did survive although they were probably happy to see my two go! Since they have been around chickens at DotDot and Grandaddy's they weren't scared of the chicks at all. Anna Kate obviously didn't like the way their feet felt so she kept holding them upside down by their back and Drew kept trying to pick them up by their wings.  The bunny was on his fifth or sixth session of the day and was over it. We finally got him to calm down enough to sit between them for a picture and Drew started trying to touch his eyeball! Needless to say, the bunny took off so I am not hopeful we will have sweet, wonderful pictures with Mr. Easter Bunny!
After pictures, Anna Kate got to go on a very special adventure. Mimi Jo and Whitney took her to a fund raiser that was at a salon. It was everything girl and she had a ball! she got to get her hair done and take pictures in the photo booth. She didn't get to stay long but from all accounts she had lots of fun and asked me when they would be going back when I got her in the car.

 Anna Kate getting "ready" for pictures. She ended up looking like she had a black eye! She also had on striped tights. Inside out. It will be a while before she is dressing herself.

 Smelling the flowers! These kids are some flower picking fools so I had to watch closely. After pictures we dropped by Home Depot to see Daddy.

 They will try to tell us they don't need a nap these days. I disagree.

 Anna Kate and "baby Rylee"!

 Hunting eggs. Daddy was still at work so Uncle Aaron and Granny Lisa helped out.

 Drew got distracted by this "toy".

 I threatened begged them for a picture and this was the best I could get.

 I think I tried a sneak attack and still came up empty handed.
