Celebrating Resurrection Day!

I meant I was going to get somewhat caught up so 2 posts in one day!

I decided to try something new with eggs this year.  I went through A’s old ties that he would never wear and used them to dye eggs.  It was a little more work than I had thought and not sure the girls were as into it as traditional dyed eggs but it was something different. IMG_0497It was fun to unwrap them and see what they looked like!IMG_0503IMG_0504IMG_0506

We normally make a bunny cake but this year was a little different.  A lady in our church body died last week and her funeral was on Saturday so we were limited on time.  I was not going to stress over a bunny cake and the girls never asked so we skipped it this year. 

The girls enjoyed their Easter treats IMG_0516IMG_0519IMG_0522We barely had any time before church to take any pics and by the time we all get ready for church the girls just want to go.  A normally goes to the church a while before us but since it was Easter he had stayed behind with us and it was time for him to go SO all of that to say THIS is what we got

Think Sallie was aggravated???IMG_0540AND Millie will one day kill me for this!  Poor baby apparently needed to potty!IMG_0541I do LOVE this one!  I also DO need to clean the dust off my front door!IMG_0545

Once again, you take what you can get!IMG_0555

Each Easter after church we have an Easter Egg Hunt.  Here the kids are coming out to hunt.  YES, that is one of the two twins!IMG_0563Our girls think they can take care of them!  They still are attached to Ell and Sallie is CRAZY about them!  IMG_0565She would not let her go!  They have grown so much.  They are back here for now and doing good.  We do love them!IMG_0567SWEET precious MillieIMG_0568Remington who Sallie also adores!  It makes her day to see Remi!  She is so motherly!IMG_0570SWEET precious LizzieIMG_0574Now Sallie thinks she can take care of both the two twins!  I wish I had gotten a good pic of them from the front but I was too busy trying to make sure Sallie did not hurt them.  Not that she would intentionally but she thinks there is nothing she can’t do!IMG_0577Look at all those eggs!  We still have tons of candy!IMG_0581IMG_0582

After church we joined a family in our church and several other church families for lunch followed by a Passover Seder.  We did this last year as well but we did it on the night before Easter.  We really enjoy it and it was a little more laid back for us this year since we knew what to expect! 

Everything felt a little more rushed than I like but we had a wonderful time celebrating our RISEN SAVIOUR!!!
