Easter Day ... a bit late!

Well, just to preserve that we actually did do something for Easter, here are a couple pictures.

In the morning we all came down as a family and Kaelynn wanted French toast for breakfast. So, I started cooking (and she is always my helper)... we were about done and she (nor Alicia) had noticed their Easter baskets sitting at their spots at the table, which is right next to the kitchen. Well, I saw this as a great opportunity to get some breakfast down them before the onslaught of candy so I sneakily hid them elsewhere while we ate. Then, we had to convince her that she should look for something that might have been left the night before and she finally decided to give it a try and both girls were very excited once they'd found their baskets.

This next picture is of the girls in their Easter dresses. While these weren't intentionally their Easter dresses, it worked really well. You see my Mother (an amazing seamstress)made a deal with her kids that if we bought materials she would sew whatever we wanted her to. Well, I'm no dummy... I have taken her up on it. She helped me pick everything out and she finished the dresses and I got them at Christmas time. They are a bit springy and cool so I was waiting for warmer weather and decided Easter would be a great day for the first time to wear them. You can't totally tell in this picture but the red on the print is cherries and they are just adorable!

Thanks, Mom!
