Easter

 Our city's Saturday easter eggstravaganza!  Bounce houses, easter bunny, easter egg hunts for different age groups, pony rides, and more!  It's a tradition in our family!
 Girls weren't scared at all!
 We dyed easter eggs Sat. afternoon... and made easter cookies for some of our friends... and some for us!!
Sunday morning easter bunny pancakes! 
 
 I am in LOVE with the easter dresses Nana got them... from Costco.  I love Costco.  Someone at church said they looked like cupcakes lol  I totally agree.  They look so sweet I could just eat em!  We love our cute girls!!  I love easter and the meaning behind it.  I'm grateful for the knowledge that my Savior not only died for us, but that he still LIVES!  And what makes Easter extra special is getting to spend this special day with my family and teaching our little girls about Jesus Christ.  I felt like the girl's beautiful dresses and radiant faces made them look like little sunshines that silentily whispered "today is a very special, happy day."  Their faces were glowing and I got that feeling that I always get that my girls are truely daughters of God and He truely loves them.  But the feeling went a little further... I felt like they were radiating Christ's love for everyone as they wore those pretty, yellow, eastery dresses.  This is why I love the tradition of having an easter dress...  something special you get to wear to honor this special day.  I always loved getting an easter dress and I hope my girls love it as well!  Kailee even got to say the opening prayer in primary today :)
 My attempt at taking a picture of us b4 church :)
 
 Allie was already buckled in, so I snapped a quick pic. of Kailee with Daddy!
 Jared took a few pics. at home too!
I love this pic... even though Allie's "smile" looks like she's yelling or something :) 
 Candid for sure!
 Cute!
Cuter!  Maybe next year we'll get a family easter pic!  Now I feel like singing "He is Risen!"  I love that hymn.
