Early Easter and Birthday celebrations in West Texas

We headed to Lubbock last Friday morning to celebrate all of the April birthdays on the Winters' side, not that we needed a reason to get together. All of Brett's siblings (and spouses and little ones) piled in to Kayla's quaint (and oh-so-cute) humble abode both nights. These pictures cannot do our trip any justice on the amount of fun (kids and adults) we had! But some of the pictures are pretty darn cute :-)

Jameston and Ruby hiding out underneath the bed

We drove to Brett's grandparents' house in Plainview Saturday morning. The kids did a trial run Easter egg hunt inside first before we took it outdoors

Jameston and Layne comparing baskets and loot Memaw also had lots of fun games planned for them all day

Love this picture of Memaw and Jameston both :-)

Then we headed outdoors for some bubbles!

Greeaat one! Jameston loves bubbles (and his most recent obsession are shadows)

On your mark, get set...GO!

Ms. Riley Ann, the eldest of the cousins, showing the youngsters how to hunt with some etiquette

Jameston was attached to Memaw's side. Here she is "helping" him find one

He got it down pat!

Ruby and JW following Papa's lead

Checking out his findings

Three generations. Pappy's 86th birthday!

Wish we thought to have Brett's dad in the picture :-(

All the great-grand kids (minus Collin) with Memaw and Pappy... with two more on the way later this year!

More egg-hunting action! Layne paving the way...

The tots did great...they really understood what was going on (I was surprised)! JW and Ruby

Boys will be boys! It was so funny watching Jameston and Ian, who are third cousins and just a month apart, interact. TOO CUTE! I need to upload a video we took of them playing ball!

After a long-day of play, indoors and outdoors, we got these tow-head little ones in the bath together. It was a splash-fest! Riley was at the far end of the tub try to get away from all the splashing...

For part of the night-cap, Layne and Jameston sat on Memaw's lap for story time

And then serenaded us for the remainder of the evening (I mean, until their bedtime :-)

We had a WONDERFUL trip, although it was too short. More posts from the trip to come...these weren't the only good pictures we got of these little ones :-)
