Easter is always a fun time at our house. Not only do we celebrate the resurrection of Christ with a wonderful feast, we decorate eggs, make a special dessert for Mimi's house (last year it was fancy decorated cupcakes), deviled eggs galore, gorgeous spring weather (hopefully!) and just lots of fun with the extended family. I tend to take a million pics of the kiddos and love when they are all dressed up! Here's a tip! Easter is the perfect time to take pics for moms/grandma's Mother's Day presents!!
Since this is Pen's first Easter, I had to go out and find a special basket. Since she was about 3mo old, I've been buying little stuffed lambs for her. It started with one and now she has about 5 of them. Now whenever I see a cute stuffed lamb, I buy it for her. Well, almost. Right now our grocery store has one for Easter and it's HUGE!! Almost life size! I've thought about it....hahahaha Anyway, as I was saying, lambs. When I was at Hobby Lobby, I found the cutest basket and guess what it has attached to it?! That's right! A lamb! I couldn't resist. For her basket, Pen's getting a new pair of sandals, a new sippy cup, a Carter's plush bunny (gasp!) some plastic eggs filled with yogurt melts and a few new sets of PJs. Piper is getting two new pairs of flip-flops, a bathing suit, The Princess and the Frog DVD, a new outfit, plastic eggs filled with money and some candy. When I was a kid, my Easter bunny would put money in my eggs and I thought that was the coolest!! The tradition continues! Thanks Mom! ;)
One thing I always do is have pictures taken of the girl, now girls, for Easter!! I was able to find and purchase matching dresses for them! That sounds pretty easy, but finding matching dresses in a size 12mo and a size 8 is EXTREMELY difficult. That's why when I found them, I HAD to buy them. Now black wouldn't be my first choice for an Easter dress, but I'm actually pretty pleased with how these turned out!! It doesn't hurt that I have the two most beautiful kiddos around. ;)
