Happy Easter!

We had a fantastic, fun-filled Easter weekend. It was a little bit chilly, but we still had a ton of egg-citement. We started the weekend with the city Easter egg hunt. It was the first year Owen could walk...last year he was just crawling and he was a pro. He was double-fisting it, picking up two eggs at a time. We stopped when his basket got full, so the other kids could get some eggs. Harper had her most successful egg hunt yet. She was aggressive and didn't get overwhelmed by the crowds. She had a strategy, run to the back of the grassy area first before the rest of the kids got there...It worked!


Easter morning was a success as well. Both kids were so excited to see the goodies that the Easter Bunny left for them. The best surprise for each of them was...of course...the Chocolate Bunny!





Easter Morning Mass was wonderful. Perfect weather, beautifully decorated church and celebrating with family! Harper picked out her Easter dress this year and decided on a white tea length dress. She was most intrigued by the hats she had seen at Dillard's. She asked for awhile and I finally caved in to get her a hat/headband that fit her much better. It was very Kate Middleton-ish and was super cute. She was so proud of her "hat". Owen looked like he could have been sailing on Gilligan's Island and was so proud of his snap-on tie! :)








Easter lunch was so yummy and it felt good to get to spend some relaxing time with family. Harper and Owen got to go on a massive Easter egg hunt inside...because it finally rained! They had the help of cousin Kyle and his girlfriend. Don't worry, they got a cute of the profit also!
