EASTER PICTURES!!!

Easter was great for us. It was our first Easter in Washington and it went pretty well. The Saturday before the girls and I went to the Primary Easter Activity. I was in charge of the cookie decorating station. It worked out pretty well until Lydia woke up and wanted to be held. Arlee took her time decorating her cookie. I didn't mind since I was still trying to figure out how everything was going to work once she was finished.
Hans was working that day and wasn't available to help me. Luckily, I have some friends in the ward that offered to help me with Arlee. While Arlee was at a different station Lydia had a blow out and people needed help with cookies still. Thankfully the rush was pretty much over when I discovered Lydia's blow out. As I was changing her diaper and clothes they announced it was time for egg hunting. So I hurried and got Lydia cleaned up and in the backpack all bundled up so we could go out with Arlee. 
Arlee went out already with some friends and started hunting. She was so excited and thrilled to be out and about. I tried getting a couple of pictures, but Lydia wasn't having it. The wind was hitting her right in the face no matter what I did. Then the Easter Bunny came. Arlee wasn't having it! It scared her so bad. So no picture of the Easter Bunny with Arlee. The Easter Bunny started walking around to each of the kids and it was fine as long as it was about 20 feet from Arlee. She scared enough that she wouldn't even put her back to it far away so I could get him in the picture. Oh well, maybe sometime she will grow out of it. 
We went inside and started cleaning up. While we were cleaning up the Easter Bunny came inside and caught Arlee off guard and she started screaming! Man, this was way more than I anticipated. Arlee has never liked Santa, but I thought maybe she would be okay with the Easter Bunny since she hasn't seen them before, NOPE! It is okay though. I did feel bad for her. I am pretty sure I was the same way- so I can't say much.

This picture reminds me a lot of an expression that Hans makes.

 Holding her hand so she can be happy.

 I just love her hair.
AHHHHH....

We hope you all had a wonderful EASTER.

Kali- I am loving her giggles as we are taking pictures of her these days. She is pretty giggly while we are doing them. Arlee loves making her laugh and everything. Can't wait to see you and hear what you are having. TWINS RIGHT? Hahaha jokes, jokes.

Cassie- I really wish she liked the Easter Bunny, but maybe next year. Did Mallory have the bunny encounter? How did she do? Are you going to be in Salt Lake this summer?
