Easter

Easter here was a pretty uneventful event....and given that the months of February and March were packed full of craziness for our family, we were grateful to have a relaxing family holiday. 

It started with egg dying on Saturday night (or, in Lucy's case, egg dunking and cracking!)

Then the traditional Easter baskets on Sunday morning awaited the girls.  They were full of goodies thanks to generous grandparents and me...er, I mean, the Easter bunny!

A busy morning of getting ready for church followed, where we re-heard the story of the Atonement and how Jesus died for us but then was resurrected- all for our benefit!  Always a spiritual story to hear each year.  There was a beautiful musical number as well.  I love church on Easter Sunday.

And then the park.  The unsuccessful attempt to get a nice family photo, a nice "sister" photo, or just a nice Easter photo in general.  No such luck with a cranky-pants toddler....AKA- Lucy.


We went home after the #epicFail photo-shoot at the park and laid Lucy down for a long nap.  When she awoke, we went on a family walk in the sunshine (was 70 yesterday- SO perfect!) and I finally got to ride my longboard!  It is so much fun!



The sun made Pipers eyes look EXTRA blue. I love the color!

We came home from spending some time in the sun and had a huge delicious cobb salad (topped with many colored hardboiled eggs-yep the egg whites were dyed from all the cracks), some Ham, and a very nice Easter blessing said by Shawn.

One last thing, Easter was day number 3 of no accidents by Lucy!  And today was another successful day! I love not changing her diapers.  She is pretty much fully potty-trained!  I say fully because she doesn't like to go #2 in the toilet...that takes some convincing. 

Besides my screaming Lu at the park, I'd have to say our Easter was a really nice day.
XOXOXO

  I DID get some really cute pictures of Piper when we got home and out of the sun/wind, but Lucy tore her dress off the minute we walked in the door yesterday.  Here are some of my sweet P.

I took some pictures of the girls this morning because they were playing with each other and looked super cute!  I'm such a bragger, I know, but I am in LOVE with these babes!  Plus, I needed redemption pictures after yesterdays :)
