It's that time again...
The Easter Egg Roll Lottery opened today!
As you remember, I was really hoping to go to last year's event on 4/1/13
but since I hadn't had baby # 4 yet, we just had to do our church's egg hunt instead.
Here are some shots of our family from Easter over the years. Above, Chandler on his 2nd Easter (he was only 5 days old on his first). Below, our first Easter as a family of 4.
Boys are getting bigger...
Maverick's first Easter was a little challenging to get a family shot. This is probably the best one:
When Chandler turned 5, Daddy and Granddaddy Bob weren't here for Easter. They were at the Masters in Augusta, GA. They are heading there again this year, but it's not Easter week.
And here is 2013's Easter shot. I was still waiting on that baby to come out...
Jamison will be almost 13 months before his first Easter.
And for those of you that would like a little more info about the Easter Egg Roll...keep reading...
The White House Easter Egg Roll is a tradition that dates to 1878. Originally, young children in Washington, DC, would flock to Capitol Hill every Monday after Easter for egg rolling and a day of activities. Members of Congress grew tired of the growing crowds and passed an Act of Congress which prohibited egg rolling on the Capitol grounds. The event was moved to the White House in 1878 after President Hayes was approached by young children to use his backyard to roll eggs. Nearly every Easter since, the White House has invited young children to roll eggs on the White House lawn.
Today, the Easter Egg Roll has grown from a few local children rolling eggs on the White House lawn to become the largest event held at the White House, filled with live entertainment, sports and interactive cooking demonstrations. And, of course, the traditional rolling of the Easter eggs. The Easter Egg Roll promotes healthy and active living and is designed for children 13 years of age and under.
Maybe we'll be lucky enough to win tickets again this year.
Here's hoping!
