We had such a great time celebrating Easter this year!
We started off at a local festival. Landrie was the only one brave enough to pose with the chick!
We accidentally ended up in the area for the 6 year old hunt with our 4 and 2 year old right when it started. I began walking them in when a sweet volunteer told me all parents had to be outside the (huge) fenced in area. I gave them the option of staying or going and they both wanted to stay! The hunted with several hundred six year olds. Landrie stayed right with Tatem and helped her the whole time. Look at their faces as they ran towards us at the exit at the end! LOVE!
They danced at the Radio Disney stage, pet a SNAKE, checked out a fire truck, and even got to sit on a motorcycle!
Meanwhile, Harper snuggled and slept through the whole thing in the Moby Wrap!
The next weekend was Easter, and after celebrating at church (complete with face painting for the kiddos!) we headed to my parents.
Our Family!
My parents:)
Poor Tatem got an ant bite on her foot and did NOT want to take a picture, but it sure is sweet of everyone else!
Just like when we were kids, my parents hid candy in different rooms for each kid. Landrie LOVES candy, but I am so thankful that at 4 years old, she's really starting to understand how much God loves us and the true story of Easter!
Tatem, well, she's still learning! I posted this on facebook one day:
We've been teaching the Easter story to the girls. As I told the familiar story, I kept pausing dramatically so the girls could fill in the next part. It was going great when I got to the big finish and dramatically put my hands up on my head! (inadvertently touching my headband) "When they looked in Jesus' tomb, they found...!!!??" Tatem shouted, "a headband!!" haha!!
While the big girls searched for candy, P-Pa snuggled with a happy little Harper!
After the candy hunting, we got started on lunch, and my mom whipped up some of her famous guacamole!
The girls helped me make a bunny cake and we brought it over. After several attempts, this was the best picture we got! Ever since Easter, Landrie has been telling me that she REALLY wants a bunny cake for her next birthday!
After lunch, the little ones took a nap and Landrie got to do this 4 foot puzzle with my parents.
puzzles + grandparents = a happy Landrie!
We so enjoyed spending the afternoon celebrating our risen savior with my parents this year!
