Easter

We had a great Easter this year! Here are some of the highlights!
It all started with the egg decorating on Saturday! As you can see...this is taken very seriously at our house!
The kids were very excited to look for their baskets on Easter morning! Rylie has been counting down the days until Easter for weeks! Mason found his basket first this year!
Rylie was very excited to dig in to her basket! She was actually up at6:30! She came in our room to inform us that the Easter Bunny had come and that he had hidden all of the baskets...but that she hadn't looked for any yet! She then told us that we needed a bigger house so that the Easter Bunny would have more hiding places for baskets, and a bigger backyard so that he would have more hiding places for eggs! Finally at 6:45 we let her wake up the boys and the fun began!
Parker found his last...that Easter Bunny was very tricky this year!
All ready for church in their new Easter Outfits...Rylie especially loved her dress and the opportunity to sport her "wiggy hair"!

The kids couldn't wait to get home from church so that they could hunt for Easter Eggs in the backyard. Rylie talked Mason out of a few of the eggs he found!
Rylie made sure she looked under everything for eggs!
Parker made sure Rylie found all of the "girly" eggs. He's always watching out for his little sister!
The Easter Bunny brought Rylie and Elizabeth matching sundresses. Here is one of them! Rylie loves to dress her dolls the same as her!

We had a great Easter...and we even took the time to focus on its true meaning...the sacrifice our Savior made for us...his life, his death, and his resurrection. For that, we will forever be grateful.

Hi Kristin!
Your photo's make me miss my kids being small! They are beautiful!
Riley and her American Girl doll with the matching dresses remind me of my Aly. She LOVED to wear the same dress as her Ameican Girl dolls too! Now, sadly they are all boxed up {I try not to think about the amount of money sitting in that rubbermaid}, waiting for Aly to share them with her own little girl someday!
Keep enjoying them...they grow up way too fast!
Loves!!
