Easter in South Carolina

Hello... figured that this was the best way to get some pictures out there.  Seems to work well for Karla.  So here you goes...

So my trip to South Carolina started off on Thursday (4/9)... Terry drove me to the airport on Thursday afternoon and finally arrived in Charlotte at 11pm (eastern time).  Keith had to pick me up from Charlotte and then drive the hour and a half to Greenville.  Everyone was asleep by the time I got there, which I figured.  My niece and nephews need their beauty sleep, and lets be honest I don't want crabby kids.  

The next day I got woken up by Kassidy and Kaleb wanted to see their aunt... Of course who wouldn't.  We then waited patiently (well as patient as me and Karla could) for my mom and Jim to come down.  

After a little lunch Kassidy had to show us her dance that she is learning in her dance class.  She did awesome!  Can't wait to see the final performance.  I am sad that I will miss it.  But I am sure Karla will record it for me.  

After Kassidy's performance sh

e wanted to take a picture with my camera... check out that, she got our faces.  I even helped and couldn't get us both in there.  She also fell in love with my sparkley head band... i didn't get that one back before I left.  She is lucky she is so cute, well and the fact 

that she is five!

Here's the picture after I got the 

 camera.... I had to get one.  But you know... Kaleb the little stinker wouldn't let me take a picture of him.  He kept on hiding his

 face...

So Mom and Jim also came down to visit... and I had to capture this part of the trip... Keith and Jim bowling on the Wii.  It definately was a sight to see. 

 

Well besides... my well needed vacation, I went down to see the newest member or my family, Karson James Gailey.  He is a cutey...  I ca

ll him my "chunky monkey."  Which mom quickly hated the whole time.  She told me that Chunky Monkey is an ice cream and would yell at me.  I just to

ld her at least it was an ice cream I liked.  

 

Me and my Chunky Monkey (Karson)  Gosh I was having a bad hair day!

Okay, Saturday we made our way to the park... Kassidy insisted on having me follow her around and go down the slide with her.  What I forgot is that I am not a kid anymore.  I ended up with a little bit of slide burn.  But it was a small price to pay for this face...

Even Mom and Jim had fun at the park!

Easter Sunday... We got up and started cooking.  And Karla, Keith and I hid all the eggs for the kids to find in an Easter Egg Hunt.  Kaleb had to wear his sunglasses that the Easter Bunny brought him.

 eggs then everyone else.  

Kassidy in her Easter Dress... She insisted on having 3 ribbons tied to her bucket.

All the kids with Karla and Kelly... checking out the goods.  What we didn't realize is that the chocolate melted while we were waiting to start the Egg hunt.  Ops!  Kassidy needed a little help with a couple of her eggs.  I had to tape some closed.

 

Family picture time!  Of course the only time that Karson cried while I was holding him was during this picture but it's okay.  

Its been a while since Me, Mom and Keith had a picture, maybe my high school graduation.
