Can you say crawfish?

Our annual family (Easter) crawfish boil was a blast as always...Uncle Steve and Jeff were the crawfish chefs for the day, and as usual my Mom made about 15 of her best desserts!
Elise was fascinated with the live crawfish...



Bennett (surprise, surprise) loved chasing them with his bat!



Bennett and Grandpa Roland (a.k.a. PaPa Rollin) hanging out....




Little cutie pie...



Lila with her two favorite Aunts!!



Taking a walk to see the turtles with Steph...



Was pretty hot on Saturday, so we decided it was the perfect time to bust out the baby pool!
The kids had a BLAST!! Especially Lila, she would still be swimming if we would let her!!
Elise posing for the camera...


Think it is time for a bigger pool?



The "little kids" (as Elise calls them)...(I love how Lila's belly is hanging over her bathing suit!!)



Bennett would drop the football into the pool and make a splash...this absolutely cracked Lila up...they were having such a good time!



Time for a swing in the hammock...Erinn and Jared brought the girls the cute little cover-ups from their Mexican honeymoon...so cute!
Most of the family gathered around the table chatting...
Bennett taking a rest on Steph's shoulder...I really thought he was going to fall asleep he looked so comfortable!

So, as you can, it was a fun, full day! I was really glad the kids got to spend a lot of time with all of the family and especially with my cousins (although Brad wasn't able to come into town)...usually at holidays everyone is (understandably) pulled in several directions and the visits end up being pretty short...but Saturday we really just hung out, grazed on good food, enjoyed the weather, and spent the day together....it was so nice!
