Easter 2011

 The twins woke up bright and early (as usual) and found little surprises! I love Kennedy's reaction when she saw that they got the movie Tangled!

 Princess socks!

 Of course, princess fruit snacks are always a hit! :)

Jillian woke up about 30 minutes later and got her Easter surprises too. (She always brings down her "friends" when she wakes up...that would be Cookie, Elmo, Bob and Larry). She was most interested in the fruit snacks that she got.

 I let them eat their breakfast at their little table and they got to turn on Tangled and watch it while they ate.

 After breakfast, everyone got ready for church. Here are the twins in their Easter dresses. They are wearing white gloves that their Ya Ya sent them! They loved their gloves! :)

 Attempting a group picture.

 One more!

 Jilly

 After church and naps we let the kids have an Easter egg hunt outside. 

 Jillian held onto her little pig that Ya Ya sent her for Easter the whole time.

Found one!

We had a great Easter. He is Risen! He is Risen indeed!

More Easter fun!

 Friday afternoon we dyed more eggs! After doing them that morning at Grandma's house, they were a pro doing these eggs!

 We spent the rest of the afternoon/evening outside playing in the pool! 

 On Saturday, we got everyone ready to go to another Easter egg hunt at a nearby church.

 

 The Easter bunny was there. The twins stayed far away, but Jillian LOVED him and kept wanting to be next to him (and Alice in Wonderland).

 They had separate egg hunts for different age levels. The first age group to go was the 2 and under group! Jillian was all set to go. She got the hang of it quickly!

 But, she picked up her 4th egg and put it in her basket and in an instant the whole inside of her basket was covered with ants!! UGH! The ants had gotten to the candy. We had to stop and get all the ants out and by that time the hunt was done. :( She ended up with 1 egg. Poor thing. Good thing she really didn't know any better.

 The bounce house made everything better! :)

 Kennedy and daddy...waiting for her age group's egg hunt.

 Bounce house time! Kaitlyn stayed in here almost the whole time. (As to not be near the Easter bunny)

 Finally! It's egg hunt time!!!!

 Look!! EGGS!!!

 Daddy and Jilly watching the twins hunt eggs. Kennedy and Kaitlyn cracked us up because they kept running to the places where there were no eggs!

 All done!  Hot and tired!

Sweet thing...she walked back to the van all by herself with her basket dragging behind her.

They had a great time! Jillian kept talking about the Easter bunny! When we got back to the van, Kaitlyn had ants all inside her basket too! Those ants love that melted chocolate. :(   We got them all cleaned out and we headed home. They were all worn out.....Jillian took a 3 1/2 hour nap! WOW!  

Good Friday

 Friday morning, we all headed over to my parent's house for a big breakfast! We were so happy for be off from school and to just visit with family.

Can't believe I got all 4 looking at the camera!

 My girls!

 We had a very yummy breakfast.

 Jenn, Cooper and Chris

 Next on the list....making Easter cookies with Grandma!

 Meanwhile, Jillian was having a great time playing with Uncle Chris!

 After cookies, it was time to open Easter baskets from Grandma and Pa.

 Kennedy was excited about her new book!

 Kaitlyn opening her eggs! What fun!

 After Easter baskets there was an egg hunt in the backyard. Jillian slowly got the hang of it.

Searching!

 Then it was bike riding time!

 This is one of my favorite pictures! I LOVE the way they are all just doing their own thing! (And I love Kennedy's pose! ha!)

 I love seeing this smile on her! 

 Family picture time! (How did I end up holding 2 out of the 3???)

 Back inside to dye eggs! Thanks Aunt Jenn for bringing the supplies! This was the first time the twins got to do this.

 Then there was a big surprise!!!!  About three houses down from my parents, they had baby chicks that had just hatched last night!  The kids loooooved them!!!

 What a fun Easter surprise!

 Petting the sweet chick

The twins were very gentle with them.

Awwww.....sweet baby chick

We packed a lot into that morning! The kids were worn out and all took great naps!  :)  Thanks for a wonderful breakfast!

School Easter Egg Hunt

 Today was Kennedy and Kaitlyn's school Easter egg hunt. We drove them to a park off of Eldridge in old Sugar Land and they were sooo excited. Before we left I snapped a quick picture of my cuties! :)

Kaitlyn, Kennedy

 When we got to the park, we found their teacher, Mrs. Kasey, and she took them to their table. Later they would have a yummy snack here.

 Play time! They had a little playground time before the hunt.

 2 happy little girls! (Kennedy, Kaitlyn)

 Kaitlyn

 Mrs. Kasey gave their class instructions about the egg hunt. 

 And they're off!

 

 Getting the eggs!

 Mrs. Kasey checked each basket to make sure they got the right amount of eggs.

 Kennedy after the egg hunt. :)

 

 Happy Kaitlyn

We got the kids to sit still for a minute to take a class picture!!  Such cuties! Only one of their friends, Gabrielle, was missing.

They had a few more activities planned for the kids and then they got to eat their snack! I had to leave for work so I missed that, but thankfully my parents came and took my place.
More Easter fun to come!
