Can you believe it is the end of March??? That Easter is Sunday!!! And Lily Kate's 3rd birthday is 2 weeks from Saturday. I sure can't. I guess time is flying, except for the fact that it is still 6 weeks away from knowing what baby #3 is. But I'm sure that will be here soon enough!
This weekend we went to Ninnie's church to their Easter Egg Hunt. We had a GREAT time. Here are pics from last year, haven't my babies grown!!! Here they are with their plain, undecorated baskets. Just wait until you see the ones that JuJu (Aunt Julie) painted. Too cute, pics coming soon!
Sweet DaDa came. I think he had a good time too!
The kids were playing games at the beginning. This game was to see who could keep blowing their feather up the longest. It was so funny to watch these kids! Ella boo was doing great...
Lily Kate didn't care anything about blowing her feather, she just wanted to play with the Easter egg that was supposed to be decorations!
This was Lily Kate most of the morning. Non stop. Just running around crazy.
These two just sat on the side watching everybody. GIBSON, enough said...
Then it was time for the Easter story, and to make Resurrection Rolls. The crescent roll (Christmas rolls if you ask Lily Kate) represented the tomb, the marshmallow (Mishmell if you ask Lily Kate) was for Jesus' body, the melted butter is the oil & the cinnamon sugar is the spices used to anoint Jesus' body. Close the crescent roll completely and bake. Open the tomb and Jesus is no longer there! He's ALIVE!!!
Ella boo did a great job...
Nikki and Ella...
Mrs. Becky helped Lucy Cullen make hers...
And of course Lily Kate made hers all by herself. Like she does most everything...
While the rolls were baking, it was time for hunting eggs!!! This is Lucy Cullen's first year, and she loooooved it. It didn't take her long to catch on and she was a pro...
Lily Kate realized there was candy inside, so she was excited to find the egg and get the candy out. Then she gave Lucy Cullen the egg, because what did she need with the empty egg when she had the candy!!!
Notice she has the candy from previous eggs still in her hands. She was not putting it down!
This is her buddy, Jack. She loves him!
Lucy Cullen loved having all the eggs and both baskets. For once they weren't fighting, because Lily Kate only wanted the candy, and Lucy Cullen wanted the eggs and baskets!
Cousins. At least they are all looking in the same direction!
Then it was time for the Easter Bunny. We have a pic on our refrigerator of the girls with him last year, and Lily Kate has been talking for weeks about how she wants to see him. She saw him walking out, ran up to him, and held her hands up for him to hold her. The sweet Easter bunny picked her up and carried her over to the picture station. She was thrilled...
Look, Lucy Cullen is in his lap and smiling!!! I wasn't sure how she would react, since she wasn't fond of Santa...
That's the end of that party. Then we went to Ninnie and Poppy's house, and the girls insisted on hunting eggs again. So we went out into the front yard, and hunted eggs!
This is my favorite pic of Lucy Cullen. She did this all by herself...
Look at this girl. She is on a mission to find those eggs!!!
These last few pics are the same outfit, but from a different day. I just thought they were cute so I am including them...
Ok, that's all for today. Can't wait for church on Sunday, Easter is my favorite. It's the best part, Jesus is not dead, HE is alive! Thank you Lord!!!
