Eastertime

Easter at our house includes but is not limited to decorating Easter cookies. Aubrey is currently enjoying a large Raggedy Ann shaped cookie obviously not part of the Easter collection.Here's the crew decorating. Easter came early this month and it kinda snuck up on me so we were little late with the cookies but oh well!
No matter how many eggs I hard boiled its never enough. The kids just love it. Luckily the twins weren't interested but Daddy had to show off his fancy Egg Dying skills.
We broke with a 10 year tradition and didn't go to Meinig Park this year for the Easter Egg Hunt. Instead we went to the Resort at the Mountain, it was closer and Kelsey could still participate. The twins still didn't really do it, Nate and I put the eggs in their baskets for them but they had fun!

Kelsey brought a friend, what a beautiful background! After the hunt they had prizes and hot coco with cookies. It was nice to avoid the crowds, but we missed the park and having the eggs somewhat obscured rather than just sitting in the grass.
My goal when buying the dresses this year was to find the biggest, poofiest, fanciest looking dresses I could find(that weren't too expensive). The girls loved them, they did have babies breath in their hair but they'd fallen out by the time we took the picture.
We also went to my Dads for dinner and had a egg hunt at the house Sunday morning.
We do all these activities while still trying to focus on what were REALLY celebrating. So we read about the daily events leading up to the crucifixion and we tried to watch lots of conference.
What a wonderful and busy time of year!
