Happy Easter!

We have been celebrating Easter for 2 days around here! Our church hosted a big Easter Egg Hunt yesterday. And it was such a beautiful day for an egg hunt! We took Leah's talking eggs with us and put them near other eggs so that she could "find" eggs with treats in them! At the egg hunt there were lots of other fun things to do, too - face painting, crafts, bounce houses, balloon animals, putt putt golf, and pony rides. We took advantage of a few of the events that we thought Leah would like.

Leah liked petting the soft bunny

She really wanted to get to those little peeping chicks!

Leah did NOT like riding the pony, but she stayed on it because Daddy was right there with her

Just because we didn't want to leave Rebekah out of the pictures!

Today we had our own little Easter Egg Hunt at home.

Leah's egg hunt all ready to go!

Found her Easter basket!

Yummy jelly beans

Rebekah says, "Next year, I'll find eggs. This year I'll hit the animals on my bouncy seat and watch"

 Leah still doesn't understand why we leave plastic eggs on the floor or why we want her to find them, but she does enjoy the candy that is inside of them! Maybe someday she'll get it! In the meantime, we have fun with it and always include our special egg. It's the only egg that is empty and for a good reason:

 He is not here; he has risen, just as he said. (Matthew 28:6)

Unfortunately, we don't have any pictures of our girls in their Easter dresses! I know I'm a bad mom for not taking pictures before changing them, but it was a rainy Easter day here and we will all be wearing the same outfits on Mother's Day, so I figured I would just get some good pics then. Just picture a very cute coordinated family in your mind. We looked good, trust me!
