Celebrating Easter

We had a very lovely Easter this year.  My husband was home, which was a wonderful treat because he is traveling so much lately.  Saturday we participated (I use that word loosely) in our church's Easter egg hunt.  The girls liked looking at the eggs, taking them out of their baskets, and pulling at the grass.  It was fun to watch all of the bigger kids scramble around filling their baskets.  Sunday we went to church in the morning and then had a nice afternoon together as a family, cooking and working outside.  I am so thankful for the time we had together celebrating this very important holiday.

Here they are looking at the eggs already in their baskets.

Off Emma goes to explore.  I think her hair is really starting to have a reddish hue.

Charlotte loved this neat carrot egg our friend brought for the girls.

Here are their Easter baskets ready and waiting. 

They didn't know what to do with their baskets at first. 

  It didn't take long though to start pulling things out.

My mom made these beautiful dresses for the girls to wear.  They are really wonderful.  Unfortunately, it is getting very hard to get a good picture of both of them together.

Here is a good shot of the back.

Even the Travelocity Roaming Gnome couldn't keep their attention.
