Eggs-citing Easter

We spent the Easter weekend in Cashiers with Annie, Poppy and Allison. This was the first Easter in a long time (at least since Thompson's birth) that Aunt Ally was able to join us for Easter. We had a great time together and couldn't have asked for better weather!  Annie set up a small egg hunt on the patio Saturday afternoon.

The boys had a great time and used it as preparation for their "official" Easter Egg Hunt Sunday at the Chattooga Club.

Thompson talked all weekend about wanting to find the golden egg (even drawing a picture of it in the church bulletin)...and sure enough, he did! We can't begin to describe how ecstatic he was.  The smiles in the pictures below are authentic!  As the golden egg recipient, he is now the proud owner of a huge stuffed rabbit he's named "Carrot".

Among the many memorable moments William provided, the one that "took the cake" was his comment after opening an egg the Easter bunny brought to reveal a dollar bill. William says "Here Momma. Paper for you." and proceeded to toss it across the table.  Needless to say, we were in stitches!
