Happy Easter!

We went to our friends' house for an Easter Egg hunt on the Saturday before Easter. We had a lot of fun, and Allie was excited about another egg hunt; she remembered that there are goodies inside of the eggs. Her friend Lily was much quicker to pick up eggs because she did not know that candy was inside. Allie, on the other hand, wanted to find an egg, open it, eat the candy or marshmallow, and then get another one. We had to really encourage her to just keep finding eggs. Here are some pictures from that egg hunt.

 We decided that, since we haven't had a family picture taken in a LONG time, we would ask our friends to take a quick photo of us. Here we are.

Just a fun one. Photos are fun with toddlers.

After the egg hunt outside, we went inside to enjoy candy and each other's company. The girls had fun playing together, as always.

Easter Sunday was a pretty relaxed day for us. The Easter Bunny didn't come until after church, so we enjoyed a calm morning with a pancake breakfast. Church was wonderful, and then we enjoyed a Sunday afternoon nap. It was after the nap and dinner that Allie enjoyed seeing and tasting what the Easter Bunny had left for her. Here are some pictures and videos.

Some stretches at the end - phew, that was work.
