Easter

Oops! I can't believe that I haven't posted these yet!

Well, actually, I can believe it.

Whatever. Here's some memories of our Easter this year!

We had a few close friends over on Good Friday for a little party. The big girls, Bella and Kailyn, we so efficient at finding the "hidden" eggs that we had to congratulate them almost right away on "winning" and have them go to the table to decorate eggs. They were ecstatic and I was relieved that the younger girls would have a chance to find a few! Who knew that amongst the squeals and giggles they would be filling their little bags to the brim so quickly?

Thanks to Justin Major for saving the day and painting the little Easter baskets after Brian got stuck in Anchorage, each little girl was able to have a basket to carry her eggs home in. I'd say that we will do this again for sure!!

Then, Easter morning was beautiful. Kailyn wasn't sure if the Easter Bunny was going to come since she had such a hard time falling asleep. Plus, she knows that he won't risk coming in a home with toys on the floor since he could fall and get hurt and therefore not be able to visit other good little girls and boys. And she accidentally left some toys on the kitchen floor she remembered. Well, luckily for her, he found time to come after she did fall asleep, and Dad saved the day by cleaning up her toys (shew!). Not only did he leave a few candies, but he brought some presents, too!Here she is coming downstairs to check it out... a little worried!

Charlie's just happy that he woke up again - he thinks life is just fabulous!

Some presents from the Easter Bunny...

I wonder how he knew that she LOVES to color - the window markers were a total hit!
Jumping up and down with excitement to show dad the baby dress that the Easter Bunny brought.

And still more presents from Memere and Papa...
