Girl's snack

Chocolate covered strawberries with my favorite little girl - yummy!

love of my life

Um, yah... We ate way too much for Easter dinner!

A couple things

Ok, 2 things.  First of all yes we did all match for Easter.  Yes it was planned.  Yes I am a total dork.
Second, there are no after shots of Emma after the curlers were taken out because they only lasted 5.7 seconds in her hair. 

pink rollers

Ugh. how sweet is this? Saturday night I put Emma's hair in rollers. She absolutely hated it. I loved it. It may never happen again. I will never forget how it felt to put my daughter's hair in those soft pink rollers. I have waited all my life for this moment. I never thought I would get this experience. I thank God every day that I am a mom to this sweet little girl.

Happy Easter!

Here are just some random pictures from yesterday...

Easter baskets

Of course the kids had a great time with their Easter baskets, so much stuff! I made each of them a fleece blanket. Emma's is Disney princesses and Jack's is U of I. I also made a small baby doll blanket that matches Emma's for her baby. Emma also got an ironing board and iron - oh my goodness does she ever love it! She is a little confused though - she calls it a washer and dryer ;o) Aunt Darcey brought them baskets too. No more candy!!! We still have candy left from last Easter!

Easter egg hunt

Easter sunday we got up verrry early and went to the early service at church - the kids thought it was so neat to go to church while it was still dark! Our pastor gave a great sermon and after the service we had breakfast at church. We thought there was going to be an egg hunt at church but there wasn't so while the kids were at Sunday school Christie, Darcey and I went to the store and got stuff for an egg hunt at home. I am so glad that we decided to have a hunt at the last minute because it was Jack's favorite part of the whole day! They had so much fun. I love the picture of Jack running with the basket , the look on his face is priceless! This morning he told me he had 2 favorite things from Easter - Jesus' resurrection and the egg hunt!!!!
