Easter Weekend

We had a fun Easter weekend. Rachel got into Easter a lot more this year, so it was fun to see her excitement. We had some friends over Saturday night to dye Easter eggs with us. The local grocery store actually had white eggs for sale specifically for Easter. So, Rachel had her first experience of dying Easter eggs.
She sure was proud of the finished products! Everything comes in tens here, so Rachel and her friend each dyed 10 Easter eggs. Andy helped her on a few of her eggs by using crayon to make some designs. Rachel really liked her "R" egg.
Audrey was quite the sleeper that night. She went 8 1/2 hours straight and then after that she slept another 3 1/2 hours. So, Audrey wasn't up Easter morning until 9 AM. Of course Rachel didn't sleep in that late, boy that would have been nice! So, just like Christmas, Rachel got to check everything out by herself. The girls each got swimsuits from the Easter bunny.
Here's Rachel checking out her stickers. She also got sidewalk chalk and a few chocolate treats. For breakfast we had some donuts that I found at the grocery store the day before. Rachel was pretty excited about the sprinkles, but she didn't enjoy it when her hands got all sticky. Silly girl!Here's Audrey once she decided to join the party. She woke up so happy Easter morning!Here's Audrey modeling her swimsuit and hat. Hopefully we'll have some nice beach days this summer!Rachel had fun all morning long with the Easter stuff. At one point she put on her swimsuit cover-up and Audrey's hat, got everything else gathered together, and headed for the door. Where was she planning on going? We don't know. She was just having fun! Here are some pictures of the girl's in their cute Easter dresses.
