I feel like we had Easter for a week straight this year between all the easter egg dying, hunts, baskets, etc...but, I do love Easter. What could be better than celebrating Christ's resurrection and the beginning of Spring {better yet...the end of winter, hurray!}, with all kinds of fluffy little animals and Reese's peanut butter eggs? We dyed Easter eggs, but sadly lost about half of them to the tile floor. Caleb got pretty into it this year, and Janie got really covered in dye from head to toe. We also made sugar cookies and then the kids licked the frosting off.
Caleb was up extra early to search for his basket. He also found Janie's before she could even make it to the stairs. Notice they both have their "Mimis" with them and received smaller versions to be their baby mimis. Needless to say there was a lot of happy, high-pitched squealing going on that morning as the baby "mimis" were lovingly welcomed in by "Lammy" and "Tail". I apologize to those of you reading this who have no idea what I'm talking about.
We were fashionably late as usual for church and so we had to take our Easter photos afterwards. By then the Easter magic had worn off for Caleb so this is the best shot we have of him in his Easter apparel. I was just excited that I miraculously got him into a button up shirt that morning. Usually he will have nothing to do with them because he thinks people can see through the holes to his belly. And if you know how he feels about "armpit" shirts then I'm sure this isn't surprising.
Janie on the other hand was loving the camera and struck all kinds of poses for me.
Do you think it's a gender thing maybe?
Last, but not least was the adult easter egg hunt {the kids got a little too} at my mom and dad's house. This is one of my very favorite parts of Easter. I especially liked that my mom threw some bottled waters and bags of carrots into the hunt this year. Nice touch! We definitely have enough candy to last until Halloween at least. Can that count as food storage?
We also got to take some last pics of the kids with cousin Ellie before Jamie & Kyle took off for the summer to South Carolina. We'll miss you guys!

Corie, your kids are so stinkin cute! I can't believe how grown up they are. I loved your alphabet soup by they way. I am totally going to have to keep that one for in a couple of years with Cecilia. Kids are such a blast!
You weren't kidding about the eggs on the floor. I get a bit controlling with the spoon. Where did you get that huge egg? Love the Easter picts.
So stinking cute~!
I love Janie's poses! So cute!
Those are some dang cute kids and Caleb's shirt issues are hilarious. I love Janie's poses--she should model!
Cute! I love that Janie was so willing to pose! And what is this about armpit shirts? I can only imagine. Even though it probably drives you crazy, I think it's cute that Caleb is so opinionated!
