Easter

I hope you all had a lovely Easter (if you celebrate).  We did.  I'm sorry Karina made such a wonky face in the group picture.  Believe it or not, that was the best one I have from my camera.  I may or may not see the ones Bill took for a while.  It takes him months and months to upload his pictures, so I always try to get him to take ones with mine too.  Anyway, he took four, and this was the best.  Silly girl!  Elena is actually smiling in a bunch of these.  The striped dress is her Easter dress, and the white onesie is what I put her in after church.  On Karina's first Easter, she had this gorgeous dress that was supposed to be a Christmas one, but was clearanced at JCPenney's. It was creamy white with silver all over it and super poofy.  Oh it was gorgeous.  Then I had this white onesie with eyelet trim at the shoulders and it was so pretty, so I was happy when I found this similar onesie at Gymboree for Elena a while back.  I remembered it Easter after church and put it on her. 

The Easter Bunny came to our house and hid eggs in the front yard.  Normally he would have left them in the house, but since our house is, um, a little messy and the weather was nice, he hid them outside.  She was very excited that he gave her Rapunzel socks in one of the eggs.  She kept saying, "He really knows what I like!" and had to wear them that very day.  At my mom's house, the Easter Bunny's helper hid some mini My Little Ponies for her to find.  And at church, she found about 25 eggs hidden out on the playground.  She was running all over.  The eggs aren't really hidden, they're just everywhere all over the ground and the playground equipment.  But the kids will run past some, pick up others, and then go back around.  I have no idea how they determine which ones to pick up and which to leave, but it's pretty funny to watch.  She really wanted to stay and play on the playground afterwards, but I was hot and hungry and she was in her fancy dress so I made her go inside to the social hall so we could eat.  Now I have to take her back one of these days to play there.  This girl loves a playground!

Hope you all enjoy the pictures!  Oh, and just quick, nobody paid me to have the opinions about brands I mentioned, and they never do.  It's all me.  And if you have my button on your blog, don't forget that Jennie made me a beautiful new one, so it would be awesome if you would be kind enough to switch them out.  Thanks!
