Easter 2012

We had a wonderful Easter this year.  It was pretty low key but lovely.  The weather was beautiful all weekend.  On Saturday mom and the kids and I went to Cracker Barrel for breakfast and then came home to color Easter eggs. 



Coloring eggs isn't one of my favorite motherly obligations but Nana insisted and I'm glad we ended up doing it.  The kids enjoyed it and we has some pretty colorful eggs.


Saturday night we headed down to our best friend's house for a twilight egg hunt with flashlights in her cul de sac.  There were a ton of kids and hundreds of eggs to hide.  They all went into a neighbors back yard while the eggs were being hidden then they all came charging out with their flashlights.  They had a blast.  The little kids got to participate too but they had their hunt before dark.  Lyla and Seth were very excited with their full baskets.


Sunday the kids got up and checked out their baskets from the "bunny".  Then we got ready for church and the biggest miracle occurred.  Lyla wore a dress AND a bow.  She looked adorable!  And she didn't even fuss about it!  Kyle wore a cute polo and my babies looked sooo cute! 



After church we headed home where the dress and bow came off immediately, but at least it lasted through church.  Then we went over to Mom's where she cooked us a yummy Easter dinner.  My cousin Missie made a delicious cake for dessert and we had a great day visiting.  We stopped at Grammy and Poppy's on the way home where the kids collected even more Easter goodies.  We were sad when the day was over because it meant spring break was over and it was back to reality on Monday.
