Easter Morn

We woke up Easter morning to hidden baskets and eggs...so off we went a hunting, and look what we found:

  

The Easter Bunny might have gone a little overboard on the amount of eggs he hid :) But the kids weren't complaining!

Next, we got all dolled up in our Easter best for church:

 We may have been running late for church, and I may not have realized that Ellie had the baby doll and kept pulling funny faces because it was super windy...but the kids are still super cute despite the bad photographer :)

We are so grateful this Easter for our Savior. We get caught up in the eggs, baskets, and outfits, but we didn't forget the real reason we celebrate Easter. We are so blessed to have a loving Savior who died for us and was resurrected, making it possible for us to be resurrected and be a family forever!

Happy Easter!!

Eggstra Special Family Fun!!

We had a blast dying our eggs for Easter!!

Mommy is pretty simple, Daddy got fancy with his plaid egg, and the kids had their fun multicolored ones...but they are eggstra fun because of their silly faces :) They are so cute I'm not sure we will ever eat them!

We had a super fun night coloring eggs together as a family!! Thanks Danna for the kit!

Easter Fun!

The Easter festivities have begun!!

We ventured out into the rain and the cold this morning to Centennial Park for the Waukee City Easter Egg Hunt:

Cole and Ellie took off in different directions and they were both super picky about what they would pick up, so we didn't make it out with much. Good thing they will get more tomorrow :) I guess the fun of the hunt is more important than what you get, right?!

We didn't want to wait in the hour long line to meet the Easter Bunny at the park, so we went to the Machine Shed restaurant to meet the Easter Bunny there...and for a delicious easter brunch!

The kids didn't get enough hunting in at the park, so they decided to make their own hunt when we got home:

They took turns being the "Easter Bunny" hiding the eggs and finding them. 

I love that these kiddos like each other and play so well together! We have a blast no matter what we are doing!!

Princess Party!

Addy had a party and invited Rapunzel, so of course all of the little princesses around came!

They played games, made crafts, ate snacks and had a ball!!

   

 We were all pretty excited to meet a real princess, let alone Rapunzel who is the favorite!!

Even my cute little princes snuck in to meet her :)

Spring?!

We had our first warm day of the year!

It was SO nice to feel the sun and not have to wear a coat!! So nice that we finally broke out sunglasses and sidewalk chalk and hung out outside all afternoon :) 

We are so ready for spring...I hope it lasts!
