Easter 2013

 We had a low key Easter this year. The girls woke up around 6:30 to see what the Easter bunny brought, they hunted eggs, we got ready for church, went to church, came home and relaxed. Timing for our egg hunt couldn't have been any more perfect. While Landry and Reagan were inside opening their eggs it started raining. It rained until it was time to go to church then stopped. It turned into a beautiful day!  
 
 

Landry's Easter basket


The Easter bunny left a story telling Peter Rabbit and hippo bubble blower in Reagan's Easter basket.

Daddy helped Reagan find some eggs.


Landry thought Reagan was really eating candy.


The Easter bunny greeted us at church.


First attempt at a family picture. Reagan let us know she wanted her paci back.


Second attempt: much better.

 
We had to get a family pic with the Easter bunny. Reagan was very interested.



She wasn't scared at all.
 Before the girls got out of their dresses we took some pictures.

Cheese!


Sweet baby.


Hey Daddy trying to make me smile and look at the camera.


Our blessings.


Landry likes holding Reagan.
 
 
She really loves her little sister.



 


This year we started a new tradition: Resurection Eggs. I had never heard of them until a friend asked if we had ever done them. You can get them at christian stores. It's a carton of 12 eggs. Inside each egg is a small trinket/object that tells the Easter story. Once we started them Landry asked every night "Can we do an egg now"? Before we would do a new egg we talked about what the previous eggs meant. By the time we got to the last egg Landry knew the entire Easter story (and so do we).
 
Here is a video of Landry telling what each egg represents. Sorry it's sideways.
