Easter in Aiken

We continued Matt's birthday celebration in Aiken, heading down there on Friday to spend the weekend. Matt's mom made him a pumpkin pie with "33" on it, and we had a great salmon dinner.Hudson tried some fish, too. Cheerios are still the fave, though.Lily also likes that Hudson enjoys Cheerios. I can't imagine how much time we would spend picking food up off the floor if we didn't have a dog. It always seems like our time in Aiken goes quickly. We made a couple trips to Hitchcock Woods, although one was cut a little short since we tried to take Alden. She was extra whiny.

Starting out in the backpack.That didn't last long. The cat wanted out.Easter morning, we went to church with Matt's dad, leaving Hudson back with Matt's mom since he was sick. Then, we did Easter baskets and went to brunch. Alden and Hudson really liked the Easter bunny. Alden did not like having her picture made, surprise, surprise, so there aren't a whole lot of great pics from Easter. This was especially disappointing for me after working to get their outfits done in time, envisioning the perfect Easter picture in front of the azaleas while I was sewing them. Whatever, Allison.
Alden likes the "wolves" (they are really foxes) in front of the club.Note: No Alden. She was running around trying to figure out how to highjack a golf cart.After naps, Matt and I took Lily to the woods and had a great hike without the kids. Lily LOVES the woods, and it takes us back to our pre-child days when we went out there a couple times a day to walk around.

Alden and Grandma colored eggs that night.On the way home, we stopped in Charlotte to visit with Nana. Hudson loved playing pat-a-cake with Nana, and we all enjoyed getting to visit a little bit since we missed the big family Easter get together on Sunday.
