What a fun Easter weekend we had. We decorated eggs on saturday and the girls had a blast doing it. On Sunday the girls woke up to a trail of half eaten carrots throughout the house. It went from their room to the kitchen over the counter, under the table and ended by their Easter baskets. They loved the 'hunt' and couldn't figure out what would be at the end of the trail, don't ask me why it was such a wonder.
On Saturday night for story time we talked about Jesus and why we celebrate Easter. Alyssa kept saying she does not want to live in heaven right now, she wants to stay and live in her house. She also doesn't believe that there will be lions who are nice, nor ants who won't bite (have you heard her ant story?). McKell reassured her that 1st dad will die, then mom, then her and then Alyssa. Mckell said "The oldest people always die first, and Alyssa don't worry about all the animals they really will be nice." Alyssa of course believes most anything McKell says, so all was well.
McKell asked me to make here cinnamon rolls so I woke up early and made those and then made some potato rolls for dinner. They are SO good, I will post the recipe later. So I was cooking most of the day, but it fun. We went to church and had dinner after with some friends. The Easter bunny left eggs out back so we did the egg hunt after dinner, it was SOOO COLD! I want the warm spring to come, NOW!
Anyway, here are some pictures of the kids before church. I made these cute skirts with some friends last week. Phil was in charge of picture taking and for some reason didn't get any of them standing, sorry for those of you who wanted to see the full skirts.

The tutus are really cute! Happy easter.
The dresses are DARLING, even sitting down. Love the half eaten carrot idea!
Sounds fun! The kids look darling. I'm glad you liked the potato rolls- I made them Sunday too!
We love the Easter skirts you made and they probably didn't cost too much. What cute pictures! Love McKell's blue nail polish to match her skirt and Nate's tie. How did you get him to pose on one knee? Alyssa is such a character - never know what she is going to come up with next.
so the bad devil didn't prevail eh?
How fun and Happy Easter!! The kids look so cute!
I can't believe you do all of those things. You are a supermom. Jeremy was actually the one cooking all day on Sunday. He is a way better cook than I am. Sounds like you had a great Easter.
I LOOOOOVED those skirts! I can't wait to make one for Tilly.
What a fun Mom you are! I loved Alyssa's little response and of course McKell assuring her that everything would work out-so cute! Those skirts are DARLING, I'm sure a lot cheaper than those other skirts you were looking at. If you want to make a couple for me, I'll take a size 3 and 4. :)
The pictures of your kids are SUPER CUTE! Alyssa's hair is getting so long.
Oh yeah, we got 3 inches of snow today!!! Watch out! Will a warm spring ever come?!?!?!
