Happy Easter

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. I love the rebirth that it represents. I love watching my girls look for eggs and re-hide them for the next week or so. They are so fun they way get so excited. I made a set of cards for them and of my nieces and nephews. My three year old kept on touching the Nuvo Crystal drops and asking if she could have her card as I was finished the sentiment after everything dried. She was so disappointed and thrilled when I told her "Soon!"

Love the glitter on the eggs

Easter Flowers

I love Spring, The flowers blossoming, the rainshowers and the way everything looks new. I saw The Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge and thought. Hurray!! I love Spring, this pretty flower, glitter and my little bunny with a scarf, because sometimes you need a scarf with those windy/rainy Spring days. I love the patterned paper with the fence design.

Spring time

When I was making my wobbly flowers, I cut a few extra bunnies. I love my PEEP BUNNIES!!!

Easter

We invited Sara and her children over to dye eggs and have a Egg Hunt. The sister missionaries helped us out with the eggs.  

 

 

 

 

 

 We have an amazing family in our ward (church congregation) who lets have an Easter Egg Hunt. We were grateful the rain stopped while the egg hunting commenced. The girls had a fun time searching for the eggs. The trampoline was a huge hit as well.

 

Cutie Pie loved hunting for the eggs. For several days after, we'd hide eggs for her to search.

Easter Egg Hunt

We had a lovely time at our Ward's {Church Group} Easter Egg Hunt.

Cutie Pie wasn't sure about the "hunting" for eggs, but she loved playing with them when Reed put the eggs within her grasp.

A little swinging time after the hunt

Cutie Pie loves to swing!!

Birthday Celebration and Easter Festivities

With Reed being in Taiwan and Shanghai for Ms A's fifth birthday, we decided to celebrate it a bit earlier. We went shopping for ideas a couple weeks before and the only thing Ms A wanted was a pair of roller skates. I told her she needed to learn how to skip (I figured it would help her with her balance and coordination) and then mommy and daddy would think about it. She practiced quite a bit with the skipping those two weeks with her end goal in mind. As a special bonus, Aunt S and her children came up for Easter. She was SO EXCITED to spend the weekend with her cousins! I love her expressions as she opened the present up and saw her skates!

Happy FIFTH Birthday my SWEET PEA!!!

Our ward, church group, had a Spring Fling with an Easter Egg Hunt and other Easter games. The party was great and the weather was perfect. Ms A loved hunting for her eggs and counting them as she gathered them. She and Ms E partnered up for the Egg Toss and Egg Relays. Ms A was devastated when she missed the egg in the toss. :(

Easter Sunday was perfect. I finally got to dress up my sweet little girl in a YELLOW dress with a little white cardigan. (She always wants to wear pink and never a little sweater) Aunt Sara braided her hair and Ms A was tickled to pose for mommy and the camera.

Coloring Easter Eggs

This was our first year doing Easter Eggs with Ms. A and she had a blast! She loves to have any reason to play in the water, so being able to put the eggs in the dye was perfect. She went a little overboard as she put the eggs in as many colors as she possibly could, but she came up with some uniquely colored eggs. Ms. A also enjoyed gluing the glittery flowers on her eggs!! It was a great success!
