Happy Easter

We had a wonderful Easter, and this year we actually got to celebrate with egg hunting. :) Having a mobile kiddo sure makes for fun stuff to do! This Easter brought with it the gift of pollen, so we all were visions with our snotty noses but I think we pulled it off. We went to church Sunday morning where I kept the nursery and then in the second service got to go sing in the choir. It was a WONDERFUL service and really brought focus to the reason for the celebration!

We were invited over to some friend's house for lunch where we ate a fabulous meal and chatted while the girls took their naps. Then when nap time was over the egg hunt was on! Sarah Katherine went for the more obvious eggs and Emma took the challenge on and climbed in for the tougher ones. For her first egg hunting experience, SK did great. She threw her basket on her shoulder like a purse and went to town! After all the eggs were picked up then it was time for some sidewalk art. Both girls got chalk from the Easter bunny so they got to channel their inner artist (really so did the mom's and dad's also).

I hope this is a start of some wonderful Easter traditions. I hope everyone else out there had a great Easter and is enjoying our new-found warmer weather. Try not to drown in the pollen though. :)

Here is the Easter girl in her fabulous dress from Grandmommy. It has little Bo Peep and her sheep around the collar - note the matching purse (again, thank you Grandmommy)!

Because the dress is longer than SK is used to, she would spin and kick the bottom of the dress all morning! She knew she was looking sassy. :)

The egg hunt is on! As usual, my cutie daughter gets very excited over stuff - even finding eggs that are laying in the middle of the yard.

The Emma and SK with their haul. They don't show up in this picture, but they are sitting under the "Easter tree" that is fully adorned with Easter eggs on the branches. Way to go Mr. Michael!

Because the Easter bunny was so busy, SK got her Easter basket after we got home from the day's activities. I think she dealt with the delay pretty well! Her favorite things from the bunny were a spinning, light up egg and a frog that sings when you push his hand. Good job Easter bunny!
