Sunday we joined the Deshotel family in celebrating Chloe's First Communion in Church Point. Chloe was beautiful in her white dress and was so excited to recieve communion for the first time. After mass we enjoyed a delicious lunch at Prejean's. Aside from Kylee being hysterically afraid of the stuffed alligator, it was an enjoyable day!

So pretty..
This year we were able to spend Easter Sunday in the comfort of our own home and boy was I glad! It has been such a relaxing day and wer are enjoying our family time together. This morning Kylee was suprised to see that the Easter Bunny had passed and had a blast checking out all her new goodies. After church it was nap time for Kylee and movie time for Mommy and Daddy. Okay, so maybe there was a little nap time for Mommy too :) This afternoon Kylee has been enjoying her new bubbles and sidewalk chalk outside in the beautiful weather. We couldn't ask for a better day!
Yesterday was the annual Easter crawfish boil at MawMaw and PawPaw's house. Kylee knocked out her 3rd egg hunt like a pro and had a blast playing with all of her cousins. The crawfish was delicious and it was so great visiting with everyone..especially those we don't see very often. Thank you Mom and Dad for everything!

This year we started our Easter celebration with our traditional fish fry at Kyle's Uncle Mic's house. Kylee got her 2nd Easter egg hunt in and already looked more experienced after her school egg hunt. Kylee had a blast playing with her cousins Abigail, Carly and Chloe and we all enjoyed visiting with family.

This is Kylee's first year to help dye Easter eggs and I think she took to it pretty well! She was a little hesitant to help with the 2nd egg after getting dye on her hands with the first attempt. She eventually warmed up again when Mommy and Daddy said it was time for bed and she decided she'd rather dye eggs! It is such fun to be able to teach her new things and watch her develop. We love you Kylee!
Attempt # 1
"Look Mommy, eggs!"
Today was Kylee's Easter party at her school so we dressed her up pretty in pink and sent her on her way. This afternoon I joined her class along with the other parents for an easter egg hunt and Easter treats. Kylee had a great practice run of egg hunting for this weekend and it was great to hear the parents talk about how much their kids "love Kylee!" It seems Kylee is Miss Likeable!
Dressed and ready for school
This past weekend we had the pleasure of hosting Kyle's cousins Nicole, Matt and Jon from Arkansas. It was their first southern Mardi Gras experience and we had a blast introducing them to the traditions. Saturday we lined up for the trail ride in LeBleu Settlement. Unfortunately, I forgot my camera that day so I do not have any pictures to share. Kylee enjoyed seeing all of the "horsies" and dancing to all of the music. After a full day of float decorating, horse riding and dancing we drove back home to prepare for our next full day of fun. Sunday after church we continued our yearly tradition and attended the Scott Mardi Gras parade. After patiently waiting to find a spot in the crowd we unloaded and grilled lunch before it was time for the parade. All of the kids had a blast catching beads and all other kinds of goodies. It was a very busy, but exciting weekend. Happy Mardi Gras everyone!
Getting started with lunch
Saturday we made a trip to New Orleans to help celebrate Cohen's baptism. After mass the family joined Father in welcoming Cohen to the church. It was a beautiful ceremony and we were so glad to be a part of it. After the baptism we went back to Shane and Courtney's to continue the celebration with some delicious gumbo and cake. Thank you Shane and Courtney for having us!
