The Dream Concludes..Part 4...Easter Festivities

Yay! This is my last section of my "catch up on the past 3 months blogging day"!!

We had a fun Easter week. On Thursday we had a picnic and Easter Egg hunt with my two friends and their twins. It was the first time the girls had ever been introduced to Easter baskets, hunting for eggs in the grass, etc. etc. I wasn't sure they would be that into it....well, I was wrong! They thought it was so fun....especially when they discovered that their were treats inside the eggs :)

Gabbie wanted everyone to know she found and "EGG, EGG, EGG, mommy, EGG, EGG"...

Then they discovered the treats inside the eggs.... :)

After discovering the treats, Jocie decided she was done with hunting and wanted to just eat all the treats :)

On Friday, the YMCA had an Easter egg hunt for all the kids. Here the girls are eagerly awaiting the hunt...

Jocelyn sprinted out and had her basket full in like 30 seconds!

Strategizing over their next move...

We got to got to Church on Easter Sunday (which we were thankful for since last year they were sick on Easter and we couldn't go). It was an awesome service reflecting on the life, death, and resurrection of our Savior. How grateful I am that He has conquered the grave and given us Hope!

After church, we got an unexpected invitation to have lunch with one of my twin friends and her family. We would have been having turkey sandwiches for lunch, but instead we had ham, potato salad, smoked salmon, pasta salad, fresh fruit, and amazing ice cream. Shane was especially excited :) That afternoon we went swimming in our friend's pool and went for a boat ride on the lake. The girls had a blast! Thanks to Stephen and Julie for letting us celebrate Easter with you and your family!

It's like they are doing it on purpose.... :)
