Easter

Easter Sunday before church

It's been nearly a month since Easter, but better late than never right?

It's been so cold and wet the last few weeks that it's hard to remember that it was warm and sunny on Easter Sunday.  It was a beautiful day for a beautiful holiday.

For the first time ever, we almost didn't color Easter eggs. I admit that I just forgot about it until 10:00 the night before.  Apparently it slipped BS and the kids' minds too.  But this tradition is a must, so I whipped up some homemade egg dye with vinegar and food coloring.  Luckily I had lots of eggs :)

The next morning, we woke up to sunshine and hidden eggs through the house.  The silly Easter Bunny also hid the kid's baskets under Quinny's castle bed so it took a little while to find them.

The baskets were filled with goodies including Girl Scout cookies (like every year), a movie (Wreck it Ralph), jump ropes, Skylanders figures, smelly lotions, bath bombs, and much more.  Most importantly gobs and gobs of Easter candy!

And traditionally, new swimsuits from Mom and Dad

After the morning fun, we went to church which conveniently starts at 11:00.  We put on our Easter clothes and the kids looked darling!  

After church we went to the cabin to celebrate with the Guffey's.  The following week was Spring break which will be the next post.

A couple weeks earlier, we celebrated Easter at Grandpa Judy's house with the Clarks.  We had an Easter Egg hunt and had so much fun discovering what was inside eggs, especially the "Golden eggs."

Grandma never disappoints with her goodies and surprises.  Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

We also celebrated the March birthdays -Will and Grandpa Judy :)
