Easter

To kick off our Easter weekend, our friends the Nichols came over on Friday night for dinner and some egg dying.  Riley and her buddy James had a great time coloring their eggs together and then even more fun chasing each other around the house like maniacs. 

 James brother Mac tried to get in on the action too, but gave up once he realized that actually eating his favorite food (eggs) was not on the agenda.
 On Saturday, the family coop in our neighborhood gathered for their annual Easter egg hunt near our pond and playground.  The weather was perfect and Riley Roo had fun hunting eggs with her friends. 
 And gathering a basketful of goodies!
On Easter morning, we met Gigi and Popdaddy for church bright and early so we waited until we came home to see what goodies the Easter Bunny had left.  E.B. was good pretty good to both of our girls and he must have known that we have a Florida trip coming up, because he left some beachy things in their baskets!  Riley got the zebra that she has been looking for, a Fancy Nancy book, a beach ball, a new beach towel and an outfit.  Piper got some sunglasses, a sun hat, beach towel, purple bunny and 'Pat the Bunny'. 
 

There were also some fun surprises that the bunny left hidden around our house for Riley Roo


Riley and Piper also got some really great Easter surprises in their baskets from Gigi and Pop and Grandma and Grandpa 

After our breakfast and egg hunt, we headed to the Urban's house for our annual family gathering.  Riley and her cousin Isabella were inseparable for the rest of the day and I'm pretty sure that Piper enjoyed her taste of our family Easter traditions...from the competition for the head from the lamb cake to the smashing of confetti eggs on each other's heads. 
Okay, so the confetti thing may have freaked her out a little....
But not Roo...she loved every second of it!

More eggs with Isabella!

We had such a fabulous Easter with our family and friends, enjoying the sunshine, the food, the egg hunts, and of course indulging in lots of Easter treats!

I am bummed we didn't get a picture of all 4 kiddos together! Piper is officially the cutest thing I have ever seen. She seriously looks like a doll. She is so pretty! And that picture of her in the bunny ears is adorable! Looks like the Easter Bunny treated your girls well :-)
