The Mixon's are Redefining Normal: Easter

We took the kiddos to Arkansas to visit my Papaw for Easter. Anyone that knows me, knows that I ♥ my Papaw! I talk to him at least 1 a week and send him pictures of the kids every couple of months. He is such a wonderful man and I want my kiddos and myself to spend as much time with him as possible. Since he is very set in his ways, he is not much for flying or traveling the 5 hour road trip down here. We decided to load up the kids and take them to Arkansas for Easter.

I should also tell you that my Papaw is 1 of 10 children and a large majority of his siblings live very close to him (not to mention all of their children, and their children - you get the point), so we knew we were in for some card playin', coversation havin', showin' those babies off kinda time! Of course, like any parent we always relish in the moments that we get to show off the twins! We love taking them around family and being at my papaw's house just feels like a second home to me.

The babies traveled extremely well both to Arkansas and back home. They were little troopers the entire trip, despite hearing the word "No" at least a hundred times because my Papaw has tons of breakables in his house.

We bought them Plastic Easter eggs and they quickly proved the quote "One in the hand is worth two in the ~~bush~~ grass". Once they got ahold of 1 egg, they were content at leaving the rest lying on the ground.

IT was great seeing my papaw entertain them with little things like his coin holder than he keeps in his pant's pocket or to give them a piece of candy he had hidden in his front shirt pocket. All of these little things remind me of when I was younger and how he would entertain me with the same old tricks. I sure do love him so and L & M were pretty fond of him as well!

They loved the John Deere Car my Papaw brought out!
