Easter 2011

This is a very picture heavy post...

My beautiful family

Going on an egg hunt

I got it!

Lily and Bubba

She found one!

Lily and her daddy after the hunt

We had a great time with the girls this Easter. Lily celebrated her third Easter and Avery celebrated her very first. We got the girls "The Story of Easter" book and we read it to them before Easter in hopes of them catching on a little that Easter is not about the Easter Bunny, but about Jesus. Lily tells us that Jesus is in her heart and that he died on the cross for us. This couldn't make her parents any prouder of her. She is a smart little girl, but of course she loves the idea of the Easter Bunny too!

On Saturday night we had an Easter egg hunt for Lily and my nephew at my parent's house. Lily loved running around finding eggs and candy! On Sunday we went to church and then had Easter lunch at my parent's house. The girls got to play with their cousins and open even more candy and gifts from their GaGa and PaPa. They are just a little bit spoiled...:). The Easter Bunny brought them a wagon to share and he left Lily and overflowing basket of goodies. The Easter Bunny left Avery's bag of goodies at the checkout stand at ToysRUs, so the poor baby didn't have anything in her basket on Easter morning. This made her mommy very sad. We will have to call ToysRUs today to see if they still have her stuff. The Easter Bunny left behind some half eaten carrots and I had Lily check the house for jellybeans AKA Easter Bunny droppings...she says she didn't find any :) We hope everyone had a very Happy and Blessed Easter!
