Easter in Severna Park

Our Easter was filled with tons of family events. I plan to document each one of those in order, so Mooneyhans your pictures will be posted next. As many of you know, the girls and I spent the week before Easter in Maryland and had fun seeing old friends and shopping at the outlets! I loved sleeping in each morning since Mom got the girls up, fed them breakfast, and entertained them every day! On Friday, we picked up Bennett from BWI (how exciting!) and then went to Severna Park to stay with Mom and Dad Wise. Holly had delicious chocolate coconut bird's nests made and the kids headed straight to the back yard. Later that evening, we dyed Easter eggs with Holly, Jacob, and Adam which was fun.

Saturday was an exciting blur of Easter events. Aunt Christina and Uncle AJ came that morning and immediately started playing with the kids. Uncle Bob and Aunt Melissa, the Easter Bunny, showed up with homemade flower cupcakes for the kids (which Mary Claire did not eat because she came down with ANOTHER bought of the fever, ugh). And Uncle Neil and Aunt April along with Patience, Charity, and Neilson to complete the family gathering. Once we were all together, we dressed the kids up and sent them outside into the COLD afternoon (it sleeted! Mary Claire kept asking, Why is Maryland so cold???) to hunt for eggs. Mary Claire cried because she was freezing (didn't know at this time she had a fever) and Elle loved every minute of the hunt. Jacob and Adam sweetly shared their eggs to give the girls more and Patience and Charity made sure they got the biggest baskets and were all over the yard picking up eggs. I loved seeing the kids have a good time.

Later that night, we celebrated something like 9 family birthdays. This is a typical Wise family party. I think Mom even made Scout the cat a cake. We had a great time but we were all exhausted after all the festivities!
