My sister called me one morning a couple of weeks ago and mentioned, "I need to get stamps to mail my Easter cards so they make it in time." Easter cards!! Oops. Totally forgot.
"Hey GIRLS...wanna try on your Easter dresses? I'll take your picture and send them to grandparents!"
I may have also mentioned that if they cooperated I'd let them watch Frozen.
That movie has power, y'all.
Dangerous power.
Okay, okay girls...you can show some personality!
Okay, tone it down.
Mina...
Sweet, little Mina. She is so petite. I want to eat her up.

By the way, I dropped the ball on Easter dresses for the girls too.
These were ones they already had in their closets.
But it turned out fine -- I think I'll forget to buy Easter dresses next year too.
The girls were thrilled to pick out what they wanted to wear.
Gosh, I love this girl...

EasterEggs
This year I used the oven to make hard boiled eggs.
(Put eggs in a muffin tin, bake at 325 for 30 mins. Put eggs immediately in cold water for 10 minutes.)
I broke two during the process because I have a gift for finding ways to mess up the simplest things.
I bought a speckled egg kit from the Dollar Tree. It was another fun (and messy) way to color eggs.
Egg Hunt
Speaking of eggs, we had a little egg hunt in the backyard.
This sure made me miss our Annual Laws Egg Hunt with our Oklahoma friends. :(
Easter Day
This is our second year of doing Resurrection Eggs on Easter morning.
I plan on doing it until my kids are grown adults, and then I'll do it with my grandchildren.
It's so easy and such a neat illustration of the resurrection for little ones.
Oh, I just have to include this random photo from our Easter lunch...it's my favorite. :)
Hope everyone had a lovely Easter!
