Dennis attended our church's Maundy Thursday service at the arboretum and I stayed home with the girls since we had all been having runny noses and I had strep throat. On Friday morning, I ran errands while Dennis stayed home with the girls and awaited the arrival of Lolly, PopPop, and Nanna. They came in from Plainview that afternoon and we had a yummy Italian birthday dinner for Lolly at Alfonso's.
On Saturday morning, the girls and Eli hung out at the Connells to dye Easter eggs and play outside. The boys went to play raquetball but the game was short-lived when Dylan cracked his two front teeth with his raquet. After spending some time calling dentists that might be working on the Saturday of a holiday weekend, we got back to the business of dyeing eggs. Aunt Becky is always crafty (in the good sense of the word)!
It was a beautiful day to spend outside, especially when you are wearing the cute outfit that Lolly made for you...until you accidentally step in dog poop. Oops!
After naps, we had dinner at our house and then had an Easter egg hunt in our front yard. The girls hunted on one half of the yard and Eli had the other half to himself where the guys had really made it difficult.
Unlike Eli and Eiley, Amity had only ever hunted empty eggs before. Such a deprived child! She didn't even realize that she should look inside them and was all about filling up her basket and then sharing with Nanna. This weekend, she started using the phrase "I go show ___." Since Nanna stayed with us, she said "I go show Nanna," a whole lot!
Of the four pictures that I took, I didn't get one with them all looking at the camera! There was just too much to be excited about!
On Easter Sunday morning, we piled into the Pilot with Nanna and the girls and headed to Lakepointe to go to church with the Connells. I sat in the very back and was able to capture a shot of each of my cuties.
I am already looking forward to celebrating Easter next year as Amity is getting more and more interested in her Bible stories at night. We pray that Easter will be much more than eggs and good food and pretty dresses but that her heart (and ours) will see the Gospel and know its Truth. Happy Resurrection Day! He is RISEN! He is RISEN INDEED!

Since our wedding scrapbook is still in the form of a scrapBOX, we plan to use blurb.com to occasionally convert this blog into a photobook for our girls. Your comments will be included in the book and we love them! Thanks again for dropping by!
