A Great Easter Weekend!

The Easter Bunny came to our house on Saturday morning! And boy were the girls EXCITED to see what he had left for them! The rubber duckies were a hit, Emily has barely taken off her pink flip flops since she got them, they are excited to have their own watering cans for our porch garden and our girls LOVE stuffed animals, so the Easter Bunny knows them well!!
I think after the girls found their baskets the goodies inside kept them busy for about an hour!! Good sister play time with hardly any arguments! Micah and I thoroughly enjoyed it too:)
Then we got busy making treats that we needed for our neighborhood party and then for Mema's house on Sunday!
And the time flew, as it usually does, and before we knew it we were packed up and headed out the door to Mimmi and Dooders house for Easter Saturday Lunch and a Fun Easter Egg Hunt! We all had a blast!! Our family didn't find too many eggs, but that's not the point right? The point is to have fun doing it, and fun we had! The girls enjoyed eating ice cream cones and playing with some of their aunts and uncles and cousins...and of course, Mimmi and Dooders! The party went right up to nap time and when we got in the car to come home, the girls were OUT in a matter of seconds, I think:)
Later that evening we went to a neighborhood gathering where all of us met more new friends and played and talked! Then we came home and were able to watch How to Train Your Dragon before all of us fell over in the bed for the night!
On Sunday we got up and got ready for church! We went to earlier meetings so that we could go to Mema's that afternoon for a late Easter lunch! It was Hot, but really beautiful outside! And little did we know that Emily and Haley were able to do another mini Easter Egg Hunt of their very own! It was low key and very slow paced, which was nice!
Overall we had a great Easter weekend and were so glad that although we didn't get to see all of our family members that we were able to see quite a few! And I am so thankful for the Ressurrection of Jesus Christ and that we had an extra opportunity to celebrate Him and some of his selfless sacrifices over this past weekend!
