A Busy Easter Weekend
























We had a very busy fun weekend. We started Saturday by going to our churches Easter egg hunt. It was unique in that we dropped 10000 eggs from a helicopter for the kids to gather. The girls had a blast. They sat with the Easter bunny, did an egg toss, got their face painted and then were pelted with eggs! Ally didn't like the helicopter egg drop so much. She sat in my moms lap on the sidelines. One egg landed right in between her neck and shoulder and stuck there. I guess she didn't bat and eyelash. There was an estimated 400+ people there. It was definilty packed.


After that, we dropped Rylee off at Nana and Papa's house and took the girls to the mall carnival. They had so much fun. Ally liked the simple rides but Emily has changed a lot in the past few years. Her favorite ride was the one where you go in and stand against the wall and the room spins really fast and it suctions you to the wall. She thought that was great. She actually wanted to ride some of the bigger rides but she wasn't tall enough. That was a huge step for her. They were very tired by bedtime!


Sunday we woke up nice and early. Mike and I both had to be to church a little extra early than we normally do. So we gave the girls a "look" at their easter baskets before we ran out the door for church. After church we had nana, papa and grammy over for a little bbq. We decided to make it low key
this year and it was really nice. They got to open their Easter baskets and grammy and nana even brought stuff over. They had a really nice day. I think it's a good thing that Emily has the week off, I think she'll need it.

On a side note, Rylee decided it was time to start sitting. She has to be put in that position but she does really well once she's there. I even let her take a bath with the other girls, I had to hang on to her most of the time but she really looked super proud to be one of the big girls. Also, I would have more pictures of the girls in their cute Easter dresses but to be honest, I've given up with expecting any super cute pictures as my girls ALL have the allergies and don't look all the well! Oh well, we'll just have to look all the cuter come Christmas!

Even with the allergies they looked beautiful on Sunday morning. And super cute with their glasses on.
