Easter

On Saturday we went to the city park for an egg hunt.

Then we went to the movie theater and received a free viewing of Monsters vs. Aliens with complimentary pop and popcorn. This is the first movie Cara has seen in a theater and she did really well as long as I did not take the popcorn away. Merilee loved it! Sorry everyone, she is a loud movie watcher. She laughs loudly and gets very excited.Then we went next door to a furniture store that was going out of business and got some really great deals on bedding sets and a TV/VCR. I will have to post pictures of our new bedroom set, but it is a heavy comforter, so it will have to wait until next winter. I am so excited to use it!! After the girls took a nap, Daddy and Merilee dyed eggs and then the girls hunted for them in the backyard.



On Easter morning, Merilee was surprised with a visit from the Easter bunny. He left the girls dress ups, movies, socks, hair bands, and candy!! It was a busy morning and I didn't get any pictures of the girls in their dresses and after church was so hectic, I didn't get any then. I had their pictures taken at walmart in their dresses, so I am not too worried. I will have to get some pictures from my sister with the festivities that went on at her house that evening. We had a great time with family and the special talks/music at church that day. We even had "resurrection potatoes"!

I am so awesome, I totally came up with the name for the Resurrection Potatoes lol Cara is so good at getting those eggs. I dont think that Merilee and Maren did that good when they hunted for eggs before. -Morgan
