Church Egg Hunt

On Saturday, we enjoyed a beautiful day up on the mountain. Allen and Dot Womack from church are always so sweet to host the egg hunt for the little kids at church. They wait to have it so that it will be warmer and the kids can enjoying playing on their beautiful land. They have gator rides, hay rides, and all kinds of fun with a gorgeous view. Brinlee and Josie both hunted eggs and since Anna Grace opted out of hunting this year, she helped her lil sis. :)

Easter Sunday

We stayed at Opryland Hotel until Sunday morning. We left Nashville and came straight to MiMi's to see Josie, who we missed terribly and for a wonderful Easter Sunday lunch and egg hunt. I wasn't able to get a good family shot in Easter dresses, but don't worry I plan on dressing the girls back up so I can get some good pictures of them. Isn't that the reason that we buy Easter clothes...so that we can get some cute pictures of them?? Here are some pictures from the day.

Hunting for eggs...








Even though we weren't home, the Easter Bunny still made sure to leave the girl's baskets for when they got home!!

Being Silly...






At Saturday Night Awards. I wasn't able to get a good family shoet, but you get the picture. People, who I used to call friends, were making fun of me for taking so many pictures. They are just jealous that they are not a proud mom like me!




Dinner with friends at Rainforest Cafe. It was Justin's birthday so they brought him this gigantic volcano dessert! Yummy!! :)

Lads to Leaders Convention at Opryland Hotel

The Bensons spent this past weekend at the Opryland Hotel for Lads to Leaders. As I explained below, this was our first year to attend the L2L Convention. We had heard that it is a lot of walking and rushing from one place to another so we decided to leave Josie with my mom and dad. The rest of us had a fun time haging out at the Opryland Hotel. You will see from the pictures that the girls had lots of fun. Anna Grace did fantastic on her Bible Reading and Puppets. We also got to see a couple of my cousins and hang out with church friends while we were there. Overall, we had a fantastic first trip to Lads to Leaders!

When we first got in the room, the girls had to explore and check everything out. They discovered this one cup coffee maker and thought it was "so cooool!" She is so silly...
