Happy Easter!

Happy Easter from the girls! We've had a busy but fun-filled day getting ready for Easter!

This morning the girls got their Easter dresses on and we visited some good friends (and Jeremy's boss) Bernie and Heidi. They so graciously invited us to their family's annual egg hunt, which was amazing. They probably had over 500 plastic eggs filled with candy and other things, and there were only about 10 kids there, mostly teenagers (ours were the youngest by far.) The girls had a blast. Here is part of the group which included Jeremy's boss's four kids Afton, Tori, Kelsi, and Connor, Tori's boyfriend and another friend of Tori's.

Emily finding one of MANY eggs. She is doing great with her glasses, by the way.

Bri had a blast as well.

They filled their baskets so many times they had to keep dumping them in other bags.

Emptying all the goodies out of the eggs:

Every so often someone would open an egg that had a little piece of paper inside that said "Peep Shop." They would then go over to this shelf that contained all sorts of Peeps and other toys and get to pick something out. Grandma Susanne would have loved it. :)

The girls had a great time, and came home with way too much candy! This afternoon I helped in Emily's "Kid-O-Deo" room at church, then my sister Jessie and her friend Jill came over for the night. The girls and I made "resurrection tombs" (basically crescent rolls wrapped around a marshmallow, then when you bake them the marshmallow disintegrates and it's like an empty tomb inside.)

Emily was in bed tonight when all of a sudden she remembered she was planning to leave carrots and milk out for the Easter Bunny. So we got that all set up, and then she crashed after such a busy day. Tomorrow is Easter baskets, cinnamon rolls and egg casserole for breakfast, dying eggs, nap, and then to church (4:00 service). Jeremy is ushering and I hope the women's bathroom doesn't spring a leak like last week that left him soaked from head to toe!
