We had a condo in Pigeon Forge so we got the pleasure of driving through all of it every time we went into Gatlinburg ha. I spent Easter at my husband's grandma's farm and the kids had an Easter egg hunt. The weather was beautiful so we spent the day outside.The Many Thoughts of a Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261949837343560602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-79043525294211562072014-04-26T12:15:52.845-05:002014-04-26T12:15:52.845-05:00I can't believe how old your niece is getting!...I can't believe how old your niece is getting!

Hopefully some day Ryan and I can make it out there to do some hiking! <br /><br />You got some great pictures! You all look so great! <br /><br />My Easter weekend was obviously treat - my Easter Sunday? Not so much ;). Had to say 3 tough goodbyes. And that evening I went for a bike ride, and took a huge fall. Now, let's just saw, I'm looking rather battered from my waist down. <br />Abbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06854266979976413979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-8648257913595476102014-04-22T16:49:12.562-05:002014-04-22T16:49:12.562-05:00I'm so glad it worked out for you to spend Eas...I'm so glad it worked out for you to spend Easter with some family - and visit a new, beautiful area to boot!! <br /><br />Our Easter festivities included a huge Easter feast on Saturday afternoon made by my grandma and an easter egg hunt with all our nieces and nephew on Sunday morning.

Anna is so big! Gosh, feels like she was JUST BORN. Crazy how fast time goes.<br /><br />My Easter was just a strange day. My family didn't plan anything and my brother opted to spend time with his in-laws, so my mom, her fiance, and I all went out for an early dinner and that's about it! We didn't do our "usual" Easter stuff so it didn't feel like a normal holiday. (And I successfully stayed away from all Easter candy so I am pleased about THAT!)Stephanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01664500645286563334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-72314217548496794682014-04-22T13:10:14.844-05:002014-04-22T13:10:14.844-05:00Love that your brother and his family decided to t...Love that your brother and his family decided to take a random family trip over Easter weekend. Love even more that it was close enough to include you! Looks like it was gorgeous. Bonus that you stayed in a condo, where you could have meals at home!<br /><br />I don't celebrate Easter, but I did go to church with Sweets and his parents. We spent the rest of the day at their house, mostly outside as it was almost 80 degrees here!Nilsa @ SoMi Speakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08474642034399063234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-55969047581405746312014-04-22T12:57:03.136-05:002014-04-22T12:57:03.136-05:00We had a low key day.

It's a beautiful part of the world. I was in Gatlinburg about 20 years ago -- still touristy, but less so. We loved the art studio drive in the country -- there was a map and you just could go (or not) to as many places as you liked. I still have a wonderful stained glass lamp I bought on that trip. But yes, the town itself, not so much, unless you like an overabundance of funnel cakes!<br /><br />We were here and loving every minute as you saw on The marmalde Gypsy. Thanks for popping in. I'm still smiling about your good news!Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17482528482559445943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1131924142966006519.post-57122116473794947452014-04-22T08:09:41.806-05:002014-04-22T08:09:41.806-05:00Those pictures are beautiful, especially the ones ...Those pictures are beautiful, especially the ones with the kiddos in them!
