Easter????

What, you mean Easter wasn't in May?!?!

The girls were all excited to decorate Easter eggs this year (well, Olivia came around . . .)

First egg in! (pink of course)

Kate was amazed by it all - too cute

patiently waiting

Pretty quickly, the girls figured out that glamorous egg dying might be a few years away yet. : ) So we pulled out some paint the girls went to town.

The finished products!

Since Easter morning was going to be early, we did our Easter egg hunt after baths the night before.

And they wasted no time digging in.

Olivia didn't bother. Too much candy to be eaten. : )

Who knew a bunny's ear could be so delicious?

Nothing like winding down before bed . . .

Turned out it was a good thing we had already done our Easter baskets/hunt. Olivia came down with a temp of 103 during the night. So mommy got to celebrate Easter at home for the 3rd year in a row. : ) Olivia seemed much better that morning but we didn't want to chance it. She was SO sad to stay home so I let her get her church clothes on still.

(By the way, Olivia loved her Easter eggs so much she slept with the one you see, clutched in her hand all night)
