Easter Weekend

Well, it rained for our Easter, but that sure didn't dampen our atmosphere OR the egg hunting...

Yeah, that's the best we got. :)  We went for some pig tails in Em's hair but she needs a little more up there to really get anything cute out of it!

I told Nana K didn't have any dresses so she made these for the girls. So cute!

I am so glad K is generally now looking at the camera and giving me smiles!

Really, this was the funniest picture of all!

Check out her fingers...the grass was wet so she was picking the eggs up with only two fingers. :)

They made two different egg hunts...ironically, the little ones all grabbed a couple and then stayed under the awning and left the rest of the eggs in the grass! (They did finally let the big kids get the rest of them).

Em grabbed these well hidden ones.

But couldn't figure out why they needed to go in the bag.

Once she got two, she just walked around shaking them and could care less about getting more.

Since it was raining (and we knew K couldn't have most of what was inside the other eggs), we had a second hunt inside after naps.

Yeah, this was just to show Em's hair...no hair spray but it stayed straight up until her next bath!

Mmmmmm, chocolate.

Making kissing sounds with Poppy.

The day before was beautiful! So we went to the beach...this was Em's maiden voyage in the backpack. She loved it, so we are looking for another one. Almost time to start trying to camp with the girls!! :)

On our way...

Building castles together.

Dumping water in the can so she can water the castles again...she's been talking about the beach since we went the last time. She LOVES it!!

This is my kid who wouldn't walk barefoot ever and now she's out in the water and won't wear shoes in general unless I make her. (I know it looks like she is all alone, don't panic, I cropped Daddy out...he is standing right next to her).

Being Em, she took a look at the sand...

tasted it...

decided it tasted terrible...and continued to try to do this for the rest of the day.

Oh yes, it has finally happened. We patch Emily's eye still and K finally decided that she needed a "patch eye" too. She left it on for a couple hours, wandering around the house saying, "Only one eye" and, "I have patch eye on, like Emmy. I like Emmy."

Hope your Easter was marvelous and you were reminded once again of the sacrifice Christ made for us on the cross.  What a great God that He would humble himself to do for us what we could never do for ourselves.  Glad He wants us in heaven with Him that much!!  We serve a good God.  God Bless!
