Happy Easter!

This is one of my most favorite portraits of the Savior. The Easter season gives us a message of hope and peace. I'm so grateful for the Savior and the Gift He gave to all of us. Hunting time. James and I decided to do the baskets and egg hunt on Saturday. I loved doing it this way. There was no rush on Sunday morning, and that gave us Sunday to focus on the true meaning of Easter.
Anna had her hunt first. Each girl went separately. They had to find 8 eggs and then it was the next sister's turn.


One of the Easter basket surprises. I love these balloons!

Raychel and Anna making a valiant effort to blow up their balloons by themselves.


Raychel gets too busy to give me a real smile. Notice how she is looking to the side. Notice the forced pose and smile. "Yea, yea, mom, hurry this up."

Leah with her goodies.

Sunday Morning. I always love new Easter dresses for church. Bargains this year! Leah's dress (in blue) came from Wal-Mart last year for $3, Raychel's dress and sweater came from Goodwill $4.50 for everything! Anna's dress was a Goodwill find too. A Laura Ashley dress and sweater for $4.50. I know some of you will care about those details. I love hearing about good deals!

I love that you got all the dresses at different places and they have the same theme with the cute little sweater! I love your bargins, you are great at finding them.

Happy Easter! I am glad the girls had such a great one.
