Easter


L & M were especially excited about Easter this year. When I asked Maddie where her Easter basket came from, she said, "Easter bunny came and brought trick-or-treats!" I guess for them it was like Halloween and Christmas combined.


I got the girls new dresses and they told me they looked like Cinderella (twirling for the effect). They asked me to do their hair like Cinderella....


Which in mom's hair skills equates to pony tails. Here is 3/4 of a family picture.


I am realizing I didn't get great pictures of the family gathering but we were invited to Ryan's Aunt Tricia's house for Easter dinner. I was pleasantly surprised that Tricia loves to go all out for holidays just as much as my mom, so it really helped with the homesickness I had been feeling all week. After dinner the kids had an Easter egg hunt.



Mostly I ended up with pictures of their backs. Who wants to take time out to pose when there's candy involved? And yes, just like Halloween, I confiscated all the candy afterwards. It should last us all a few weeks. Hope everyone had a great Easter!

Ha ha, I also tried confiscating the candy afterwards, only to find that Austin had already plowed through it and ate every last piece. I am sure we will be going to the dentist very soon.

i'm jealous of your fun easter! our easter bunny showed up nearly 20 hours late and then since i wasn't invited to go on an easter egg hunt, i took a nap for several hours. when i woke up i found out that i was not the only one napping. you're so lucky you can steal all your kids candy... haha

I just love the twins, they are so much fun. I liked their dresses. I also loved the ears that they sported that day. So funny that they kept them on so long. I wanted to tell you how great the cake was that you made, I didn't feel like we really had a chance to chat since we were both chasing kids around. But I was so glad to see you.
