Easter

Easter at last! We all came downstairs early to see that the Easter Bunny had indeed made a visit to our home!

My basket...

The girls had so much fun exploring their baskets.

We also did a family egg hunt. I hid the eggs around the front room for the girls to find.

The different thing about this Easter Egg hunt is that it was a testimony egg hunt. I asked family members for their testimonies to put into the eggs and then after we had gathered all the eggs we took turns reading them...

A big thanks to those who were able to get them to me! 

I also had clues to find these two puzzles in two of the eggs.

Then it was time to get ready for church!

Madeline looked so cute and was so excited! She loves being fancy and wearing dresses!

Abi also wanted a side braid.

All ready to go!

Van Wagenen Easter Egg Hunt

It was so much fun this year to be able to participate in family Easter activities for the first time since Abi was about 4 months old. Our first activity was an Easter egg hunt at Doug's parents house.

The girls were so excited!

We drove the Mini instead of the van which is always fun and the girls thought they were so funny when they sat in each others seats at first.

We had dinner and then an egg hunt. The table was so pretty!

Our nephew Strauss hid the eggs and he did a good job. It took forever to find all of the girls eggs.

Maddy and her cousin Kassandra enjoying the treats from their eggs!

Easter Sunday

We were all excited to come down Sunday morning to see what the Easter bunny had brought.
 Maddy loved her bunny glasses...

Abi was thrilled with the Lalaloopsy movie!

She liked her glasses too. And by the way, her eye is not crossed. She is looking to the side.

Abi's loot...

My basket .

Doug got lots of candy and the blue ray of TinTin.

For breakfast we had "souper"eggs and orange cranberry scones. I was shocked that the girls didn't like the scones. I thought they turned out great. Everyone always loves the eggs- they look gross but are so good and easy.

The girls got so cute in the new Easter dresses from Doug's parents. Maddy's didn't look quite right with a white bonnet so I used a yellow polka dot one that goes with a different outfit and I think it worked! Of course her shoes weren't that matchy because the shoes that came with the dress were too small and I realized that morning that she grew out of her white sandals. Still cute though!

After church we had ham, rolls, and mashed potatoes for dinner. Maddy was tired.
