Easter 2009

There are a TON of pictures on this post...watch out!
Our Easter celebration started at MDO. The girls had Easter egg hunts at school on Thursday. This is Courtney and her friend, Harper, finding eggs.
Lindsey and Madison finding eggs. They were going to hunt for eggs outside, but it turned out to be rainy and cold. They didn't know the difference and had lots of fun!

Then on Friday we dyed eggs at home. They had fun. We didn't do anything fancy, just colored the eggs and that was it.





We weren't sure about how to "do" the Easter Bunny or what we wanted to do with it. So, we just said the bunny left surprises for them in their baskets. Nothing big...


Our Easter was a rainy day outside, but that didn't damper the real meaning of Easter. We headed out to church in the crazy weather! POURING rain doesn't begin to describe it. So, some pictures before were imparitive! I love these simple, precious dresses I found last fall!! It was nice once spring rolled around, to not have to worry about finding their outfits!


This goofy smile became Courtney's signature smile this weekend...not sure what that is!
The Scogin Family! So crazy to think that we will have another one sitting with us here next year! Will we be buying another dress or some of those precious saddle shoes for a little boy??

Honey made the famous bunny cake for the girls. She did it last year and asked me if I wanted to do it with them this year. I didn't have time, since the whole family was coming over for lunch, so she did it this year again....maybe next year we will tackle that ourselves.
PawPaw, Megan, and MawMaw came!
Honey, Granddad and Uncle Taylor came EARLY and went to church with us. They met us there. It was nice to have them at church with us. Lindsey had to go to big church and Courtney went to the nursery. Amber went to church with her family, but we missed seeing her.

Grandpa and Grandma Scogin!
Uncle Kyle and Aunt Miah

It was a great Easter. We are lucky to have such a wonderful family. We love having them come over and the girls love having all of them here. It was almost like Christmas...they each brought the girls an Easter "treat" which was so sweet! I made chicken spaghetti, mom made a batch and we had veggies and rolls to go with it. So much fun! We love having them all here!
I hope you all had a HAPPY EASTER! "Jesus is alive" (Courtney kept saying this, which made it even more special coming out of her precious mouth!)

Adorable pics! The girls are so cute. Your parents haven't changed a bit. I hope it is a boy so you can dress him cute. Brent hates the boys clothes I put on Will, I say I get him until he is 2! Hope you are doing good!
