For the weekend we headed down to David's parents house in Liberty Hill. My Mom (who has officially been named 'Gigi' and is no longer 'Grandma') flew to Austin (courtesy of David's parents, they're so great) and we picked her up on the way. It was so wonderful to get to spend the whole weekend with everyone I love!
We didn't really "do" much of anything the whole weekend. We just hung out and enjoyed each others company. Saturday we filled a kajillion Easter eggs to hide in the house, Sam's were filled with little puffs and organic biscuits so that he could have 'treats' as well. The upstairs part of their house has all of the toys and things from when various people were children. One of the things I love about their house is that almost everything in it belonged to somebody else somewhere up the family tree. Sam found Nonnie's rocking horse and absolutely LOVED riding. He squealed with delight and we couldn't get him off of it. Cousins Tori and Alee found Veggie Tales tapes and they watched them together, while Sam was on his horse of course.
On Easter we all went to church at First Baptist Georgetown, Sam slept through a little bit of it but then Daddy had to take him outside for the rest of the service. While we were getting ready Sam, Tori and Alee hunted Easter eggs. Sam got so excited with the first one he found that we couldn't get him to pick up any more. While we were all in our Sunday best we took some bluebonnet pictures, Texas is in a wee bit of a drought so they aren't as thick as they usually are. But they were still lovely.
Easter lunch was a lovely steak dinner, and then it was time to go. We headed back to Austin around 4:30 that afternoon. Gigi got to stay until Monday afternoon, lucky. Going to their house in the 'country' is always such a restful time. Austin and it's suburbs are rapidly encroaching, but for the moment we just try and ignore it. :)
