Easter

Today was a wonderful Easter!

The morning began by waking the kiddos a bit early so we could have breakfast at church before the service.

After everyone was dressed and looking quite spiffy, we went downstairs and found some surprises . . .

The Easter Bunny had "hidden" eggs in the living room and left baskets of books for Alli & Eli.

Eli went straight for the eggs :-)

 

Alli was more excited by her basket at that point and loved her new Pinkalicious and Fancy Nancy books.

Once he realized what was in his basket, Eli decided to sit down and read Goodnight Moon (his favorite!).

The kiddos both hunted for a few eggs but then it was time to go to church

they "found" the rest of the eggs that afternoon.

When we got in the garage, we noticed our car was missing!

In its place was a mini Cadillac Escalade from the Easter Bunny.

Alli hopped right in but then got in the passenger seat, so Eli hopped in the driver's seat.

Interesting because he can't reach the pedal.

Alli decided to push the pedal while Eli had the wheel ~ the picture was priceless:

Alli ecstatic, Eli shocked, and Mommy terrified!

We decided from now on, Alli must control both the pedal and the wheel ;-)

After taking the new car for a quick spin, it was off to church for a yummy breakfast and Easter service.

Alli enjoyed hearing about Jesus rising!

After church, we stopped by to see Ducky Gramma and Papa.

Then it was off to see Great Pop.

Finally with two tired kiddos, it was back home for naps, egg hunting and more driving the new car

before we went to Barbie Gramma and Pop Pop's for dinner.

A wonderful Easter and great reminder of all we have in Christ!
