Happy Easter!

It is Easter time once again! I really do love celebrating all holidays with my girls and seeing them get excited about the little traditions we have started. This year my sister and her kids were at our house so we had a fun filled morning before heading to church. We hid little plastic eggs around the house the night before. You would have thought it was Christmas when the kids all woke up on Easter morning. They were up early (way earlier than we wanted) and were ready to check out all their goodies.
I found these super cute kitty umbrellas online and thought my girls would love to use them in all the Florida rain showers/hurricanes we tend to get.
The kids all lined up with their baskets, ready to hunt for eggs.

Of course I would have matching dresses for my girls :)

Egg Hunt


We had so much fun last year at an Easter egg hunt that my friend's church had that we decided to go again this year. We were running a little late but got there just in time to find the eggs.

I (usually) love that my girls dress themselves. By that I mean that they are very particular about what they wear and like to pick out their own outfits. What I like about it is that it shows their independance and helps them learn to make decisions. The hard part is that sometimes what they choose is not so appropriate for the day. Avery chose her own dress today because Easter is a special occasion and even though she would running around in the grass, she still wanted to wear a nice dress. Paige on the other hand decided to dress up with lots of jewelry. Most of which I made her take off in the car because the amount was a little bit of a safety hazard.
