It was a Happy Easter!!

This year, there were so many things going on! An Easter party at our church, Easter egg hunt at grammy's, Easter bunny leaving stuff all over our house! Kadie and Laney thoroughly enjoyed it. Laney especially loved all of the Candy, Kadie just wanted to be the one to find it all..so that worked out really good.

This is the only cute picture I could even get of the girls together because they were either running to find more candy, or running because they had eaten too much candy.

Easter morning started out with the girls finding some treasures from the Easter Bunny. Who knew that the Easter Bunny shopped at Coscto? Their Easter basket came equiped with lots of candy, and a GIRL shark and a GIRL killer whale according to Kadie. Laney got the shark and Kadie named her GIRL killer whale "Scott", but when daddy told her it was a weird name for a girl, she named her "Unicorn". Much better.

Kadie and some of her treasured eggs that she found at grammy's house.

Laney found the left over eggs that Kadie didn't want to wast time on. Poor Laney, we were hoping she would find most of the candy. She needs a little plumping up.

After Laney ate some (TONS of) candy, she was obviously thirsty when she began to dip her plastic egg the pool for a refreshing drink. Don't worry it is a Salt Water pool, so her dress didn't get ruined by any chlorine...oh or get a tummy ache.

I guess that this meant that the girls were done taking pictures.

I had to put this picture in the blog. If you know Kadie well, you know that she loves to play with boys, and always has loved boys more than girls (as friends...she loves Laney too). This is Cole, Kadie's "good friend" from church. She won't admit it, but she has a major crush on the little guy. Kadie has excellent taste in boys right now, I hope it lasts until she is in her teens!

After all of the candy bliss, it was good to reflect on the true meaning behind Easter. Josh and I were able to attend the temple Friday night, and it was so good to be reminded of all of the amazing blessings we can receive all thanks to our Savior. I can't even comprehend the entirety of the Atonement, but I am so grateful. It is still a lot to grasp as children, but Josh and I make an effort hoping that it will instill something in our girls. Having Kadie and Laney has also taught me so much as a mother. Of course sacrifices are made, and everyone hears about those experiences...but I never knew how much joy two tiny girls could bring to my life.
