Easter weekend

This Easter was extra special as our girls are getting older and truly understanding the meaning of Easter. Keira loves to watch videos online of Christ's sacrifice and then will share them with Lexi. It is so heartwarming. I'm grateful that we can instill this in them so early because it's so important to know.

To add to the celebration, we participated in other traditional Easter festivities. Our HOA put on a big easter egg hunt for the residents so we just drove right over to the next neighborhood to fill our baskets with goodies.

Lexi was quite meticulous about which ones to take.

Counting eggs and checking out our loot

Finale! Easter cookies! Yum!
Our Easter princesses all dolled up for church...and I mean princesses. All they wanted to do was twirl in these precious dresses.

We finished with dying easter eggs.

It was a simple, relaxing, and very enjoyable Easter. Oh and the girls did get a visit from the Easter bunny...we just took video instead of photo. My bad...is it cliche to blame the pregnant brain?

They look so sweet all dolled up for church!

And you are the only person I know who wears rubber gloves to dye eggs. Good idea!

I know it's looks awesome :) I bought some die that you are supposed to use to make speckled eggs and Rick handled it before me which stained his hands! So I busted out them gloves.
