Easter 2013

I know, I know!! One post last month, seriously.  What can I say, I just haven't been feeling it lately but today I am driven to post up about our holiday.

My brother Cory and his cute kids came over and joined us on Saturday for some Easter festivities. First we went to the City Egg Hunt at the park by our house.  We haven't gone in four years because last time we went the girls were too intimidated and only came away with a couple of eggs.  Boy how a little time and maturity changes things- plus having some cousins with us didn't hurt!

We came away with tons of eggs and lots of goodies- including Abby finding a dollar in one of hers, score!!

It was the most perfect day.  The sun was shining brightly, there was no wind, and it was almost 60 degrees in the morning. We were shedding our layers and couldn't believe our good fortune at how wonderful it was outside. So we spent the rest of the afternoon doing our own "Number Egg" hunt at home, had lunch, and then went back to the park for more play time together.  Sorry I didn't take any pictures of this, but just know it was a grand time together!!

Sure enough the Easter Bunny did come that night and the girls were thrilled with all the treasures, although Eva has been asking more than she should if I am the Easter Bunny :) But believing Liv is quick to tell her,  "of COURSE NOT, how could mom go to all those houses in one night?"  I mean really Eva, don't be absurd!!!

Then of course we all put on our new Easter dresses and withstood the yearly photo torture session before we made our way to church.

I hope you all had a terrific holiday with your families too!!!
