We had a great Easter! The holidays just keep getting every year with these girls! I filled her eggs with money instead of candy, because I knew she'd be getting plenty of that from her egg hunts. She was super happy to stuff her piggy bank with all of her money. They both got a lot of clothes too, but I didn't bother putting them out since I know they really don't care!
She got lots of bubbles between me and Grandma, and we haven't stopped blowing them yet. She would chase and pop bubbles all day long.
After breakfast and Easter baskets we went to Aunt Shayli's Track Meet. After a little while of that we went to the City Egg hunt. Macie was SO tired and fell asleep just before it started. Emery got lots and lots of eggs! She got a prize basket clear full of Sweets Candy too.
Macie woke up right as we were leaving ;)
After lunch we put Macie down for a nap and then Emery and I made some bird nests. We took some to Grandma and Grandpa and the neighbors. Then Emery laid down for nap.
After both girls got naps we headed to Grandma's to color easter eggs. Even Macie got in on some egg coloring.
After Easter Eggs the girls had their Easter Egg hunt from Grandma! I'm telling you, we have so. much. candy. I sent most of it to work with Jake. I kept a few of Emery's favorites for bribing and special occasions!
Sunday ended up being a lot more low key, which I love about Easter. I love that you can get the business stuff done on Saturday and focus more on the holiday on Sunday. The only problem was we kicked off a week of the family flu that day! :( I made some yummy orange rolls for breakfast. But Emery wouldn't come eat, she said her tummy was owie and next thing I know she was throwing up. So we stayed home all day pretty much. Jake took Macie to church for a little while and then brought her home for a nap. And Emery threw up most of the day. We did manage to sneak outside to take a couple pictures for Easter. Emery was a really good sport about it too even though she did not feel good at all.
After church to went to my mom and dad's and Colton and Haley came up and we had Easter dinner and the "big kid" Easter Egg hunt! The best hunt of the year! Between the 2 of us we got $25, a subway gift card, and an iTunes gift card. We did well! It was a super fun day.
Since Emery and I missed out on church we watched the Easter Living Scriptures movie and tried to talk about it a little bit. She doesn't understand much, but still. We tried. While I was laying down reading the Ensign she came and laid down next to me. There was an article about the Resurrection that I was reading that had lots of different paintings of Christ. She came and laid down next to me and pointed out Jesus in all the pictures and said "I love you Jesus." It was pretty dang sweet. And opened up another conversation about Jesus that we talked about how much Jesus loves her, etc. I just love that little girls sweet spirit so dang much.
Hope you all had a Happy Easter!
