Easter Day!

Our church service was at 9 am (usually 10 am), so Brian and I had planned to get up at 6 am and get ready before the girls woke up so that we could have them find their Easter Bunny baskets, eat breakfast, and get them dressed in time to leave for church at 8 am.  Well, Hailey woke up at 5:45 am, so we had to revise our plans a little!  She said she thought she heard the Easter Bunny thumping outside her window.  After a great church service, we went over to my parents' house for dinner and to celebrate Brian's 40th birthday (as well as my brother-in-law, David's, who turned 30)!  The weather was beautiful!  70's and sunny!  Just a perfect day to celebrate Jesus' Resurrection and the promise of a new life after this one!

That bunny was sneaky!  She didn't even see the ones above her!

 

The lady-like way to pick up eggs while wearing a dress. :-)
