Happy Easter 2012

Happy Easter! Today has been such a fun day with the girls. This year has really been the first year that Lainie anticipates a holiday, and knows when she wakes up that there is something to look forward to when she gets downstairs. It is so fun to see things through the eyes of our children.

This was the first year that Justin and I really tried to explain in very, very simple terms what Easter is all about. I know it is really hard for the girls to understand the concept, but we are trying to help them (Lainie especially) understand the true meaning behind Christmas and Easter.

Here are a few pictures from our day.

Easter baskets waiting on Easter morning

The girls were SO excited as they were coming down the stairs

Checking out their baskets

Ellie was digging into every basket. :)

Emmie looked outside for eggs, but realized the Easter Bunny had another big gift waiting for them in the backyard......

a sandbox!!!

Super happy that she has a new sandbox to play in.

The girls literally played in this all. day. long!!

All dressed up and ready to go to church.

Hope you and your family had a very Happy Easter! He is Risen!!
