We had a fun weekend. It was a little sad since we didn't have any family to share it with, but we managed just fine. The Easter bunny found Avery & Quinnie on Saturday morning (we know the Easter bunny, so we requested he come a day early to our house...). He left each of the girls a bucket filled with a bunch of fun toys, candy, and a new outfit...and he also hid some eggs out in the backyard.
Later that morning we went to an Easter Egg hunt at a church down the road from us. There are so many Egg hunts out here it is ridiculous....but I guess there are a lot of people in Indy. Anyway, the church we went to probably had close to 6-7 thousand eggs filled with candy. Quinnlyn was so funny to watch. There were eggs pretty close together (no hunting needed), but she would pick ONE up and then run to a totally different spot to pick ONE more up and so on.....she finally caught on after a while and just stayed in one spot until all the eggs were gone. They both came away with a good amount of eggs...and of course too much candy so Brett and I have been helping them eat it!!!!!
We went to Mcdonalds for lunch (mmmmm.....my favorite), came home and took naps, and then flew kites and colored easter eggs. Here's a bunch of pics:
Sunday the girls got to wear their new dresses to church (from G & G Jones...who also got them new swimsuits....thanks guys) and they looked really cute.....but I forgot to take a picture :( Then we went to some friends in our ward for dinner and had another little egg hunt (thanks Garyson's). The kids had a fun time playing and we didn't feel like such losers eating a big Easter dinner by ourselves.
And of course, even though all of that was fun, we know Easter is really to celebrate the Savior's resurrection. I am so grateful for his love & sacrifice.
We hope everyone had a Happy Easter as well!!!!! And we miss all of you at 'home'

We also "know" the Easter bunny. I think we will do the "fun" Easter things Saturday so Sunday as we get ready for church we can talk about/focus on why we really celebrate Easter.
Your girls are getting so big and they are both so adorable. Glad you had a good Easter, even without family around.
