Easter Sunday

Let's first go back to Friday.. we dyed eggs for the first time ever. She was way more into the stickers and other little decals that come in the PAAS box than actually dying the eggs but we had fun and she said she was excited to do it again next year!


Easter morning we got up and went to church. Evelyn was so excited to wear her Easter dress.. she has had it for a LONG time and I wanted her to save it to wear it today and she did! After church we went to my mom's for brunch. Still not sure how Doug and I are going to do the whole Easter Bunny thing... really not a fan of it, but its a fun for the kids. My mom and her Doug played Easter bunny this year and Evelyn had fun opening her stuff.




I really wanted to get a family picture... I am hoping it will get easier as the kids get bigger!!


Both Evelyn and Doug were under the weather, so they both took long naps when we got home from my moms. Matthew and I headed over to Doug's aunt Mary's to be with his family, and they joined us later.

His cousin Mitchell kept saying "Matthew.. do you want some cake?" and Matthew was just cracking up.. total belly laughs. It was great!

Evelyn LOVES her Granddad.. and he loves her too!

We had a lovely meal with Doug's family and then came home and all of us went to bed early!!

One thing to note about this year is that Evelyn is now really understanding that Jesus died on the cross.. but she kinda focuses on that. She wants to read that story in her bible more than the resurrection story. So we have had a good teaching opportunity this Easter season to focus on the fact that He is RISEN.. and that is what we celebrate!

Happy Easter all!
