Katie's First Easter

Katie, Matt and I spent Easter weekend at my parent's home in Patrick County (PC). PC is about as low-key as it gets, and after a stressful couple of months at work I was grateful for the opportunity to go back "home." Bear with me on this picture happy post - sometimes this country girl just misses the country! :-)

On Friday Grandpa Brammer wanted to give Katie some pointers on farm life. April is the time of year when we start planting the garden (and hoping/praying it doesn't frost). In the picture below, I'm not sure my dad has ever been happier....he's got his granddaughter, his dog, his truck, and the first seeds of the year in the ground!

Saturday we went walking/hiking in one of my FAVORITE places in the world - Rock Castle Gorge. Matt says its "the place I go to recharge my batteries." He's right....I always leave there happy. Just like her mom - Katie loved it. She kept watching the water rush over the rocks and giggling.

The water was pretty cold, but we at least let her get her toes wet...
Two happy girls at the end of the hike! :-) What's that I'm wearing...its the Moby. What would I do without the Moby?!?!?!

On Saturday evening, Grandma Brammer - against my instructions - gave Katie a couple bites of chocolate cake. No wonder I can't get her to eat her green vegetables!!! :-)

On Sunday Katie opened her Easter baskets (thank you Aunt Mary Lynn) and we went to church with great-grandma. After church, my cousin Angela and her children Allie and Brayden joined us for Easter lunch. A few pictures below from the day.

Great weather, family, food, and fun on Katie's first Easter weekend.
