Just a few days before Easter I was chatting with Eliza, who was telling me it was hard to find the FOUR dresses for her girls this year. I hadn't done one thing yet and I panicked a little. The boys really didn't need anything new, they were re-stocked at Christmas and really don't care for new church clothes. Paisley, on the other hand is always giddy to receive a new dress. And what is Easter without a new dress? I realized I would not have time until Saturday to run out and find some things, which was pushing it too close. I looked through my fabric stash and got busy. Real busy. I made three pink ties for the boys and one pink and lace dress for Paisley. They turned out alright, if I do say so.
We dyed eggs, a favorite with all the kids still.
Right after they were all dyed most were gobbled up.
Easter morning was lovely. Beautiful weather and a special feeling in the air. We talked a little about the meaning of Easter and what our Savior did for each of us. We talked about the empty tomb and what that means to each of us.
The kids were excited to find the zillion eggs hidden around the house.
It was an extra special day at church. I really love Easter.
Afterwards Eliza was kind and invited us over for a super tasty Easter meal. She did it all! The kids of course love to run crazy with all the cousins. We did a giant egg hunt. I don't think the kids could get tired of hunting for eggs! It was lovely to be together, chatting in the darling Whitmore house. That house is cuuuuu-ute.
