Easter

The girls had such a great Easter this year. They went to many many egg hunts, and they definitely had their fair share of Easter candy and treats. The festivities kicked off with Blair's egg hunt and party at school. The kids hunted eggs on the soccer field, and then had wonderful plate of goodies waiting on them in the classroom. I love this group picture; I thought it was so cute!

We always go to Easter Chapel at Blair's school on Good Friday.  It is such a sweet service, and the students all bring flowers from home to decorate the cross. I let Carter-girl tag along this time and she was surprisingly well-behaved. I took her to story-time and face painting at a local boutique since she was such a trooper.

Saturday was a complete mess outside. Egg hunts were cancelled left and right due to heavy rain. The church held their hunt indoors, so we were able to make that one. It was Carter-girl's first egg hunt, so I hated to miss it. She didn't quite get it at first, but she caught on pretty quickly. All of the eggs in Blair's age group were gone in about 5 seconds. Blair was more concerned with hanging out with her friends.

Thankfully, the weather cleared up just in time for us to have a beautiful Easter Sunday.  Felix made a wonderful breakfast at home, and then we went to the early service at church. After church, we went with the Patnode's to their country club for lunch and egg hunting.

We had a wonderful low-key Easter, and we are so thankful for all of God's blessings!
