Easter 2010

We started our Easter celebrating early with an Easter egg hunt at the church. This is the first time we've taken the girls and they had a great time. They wore their matching bunny shirts and shorts and were so cute. They each had their own area to hunt for eggs and Mady was good at helping KK get her eggs.

Since the girls were celebrating Easter at Mimi's house as well, we decided to make treats to share with all of their daycare friends. This year we made little bird nests. It was chow mein noodles, chocolate, peanut butter, chocolate eggs, and a peep. They came out adorable.

We also had an Easter party at our house on Good Friday. We invited all our friends: the Pearsons, Fredels, Pedersens, and Maddox families. The kids had a blast playing with each other and we kept them busy! Each kid had their own set of eggs to dye, we ate pizza and cupcakes, the daddies had a beer bottle hunt, and the kids had an egg hunt. Instead of putting candy in the eggs, we decided to make treats to take home. I made carrots out of icing bags and puff corn, and egg shaped rice krispie treats that weren't so pretty! The kids had a blast and luckily the egg dye came off their hands pretty easy!

On Easter Sunday Mady and KK woke up to a visit from the Easter bunny. He always brings the girls new bathing suits and brought Mady a princess beach towel. They also got new DVDs and some candy. The Easter bunny always manages to make it to both grandma's houses, so they got even more treats and gifts over there!
