We celebrated Easter all week long. The week started off with a friend emailing me to see if I wanted to put together a Resurrection Eggs Kit with her. Of course I couldn't resist! I love having friends that share such wonderful ideas. A few days later I was talking to my mom and telling her about this wonderful thing I was doing with the girls each night before bed. We did a fast forward version - 2 eggs per night. My mom, ever so kindly, informed me that she did the exact same thing with me when I was little. Sorry Mom, I don't have a great memory....
On Wednesday Rachel helped me make Bunny Buns. She was in charge of providing snack for her preschool class last week. So, on Thursday we took bunny buns. Next year I am going to make them half the size, but otherwise they were fabulous! I was so proud of myself for not killing the yeast. Rachel had fun decorating the bunnies:
Friday night we dyed Easter eggs. The girls had a lot of fun! And we only had one major spill by Audrey, but she's so cute in her pigtails that it's all good...
Concentration...
Hmmm...what color do I choose?
I love the clarity of this picture. And I love Audrey in pigtails...
Saturday morning the girls and I went to the church Easter egg hunt. The sun was bright, the girls had fun, and all the chocolate they got was a melted mess... The girls looked pretty cute sporting their bunny ears and Rachel was excited to use the bunny bag that she had made at school.
Sunday morning the girls were a little bit excited about seeing what the Easter bunny left for them. Luckily the Easter bunny was smart enough to not leave much candy (we had enough from the previous day's egg hunt).
All decked out in their new stuff. We are definitely anxious for the pools to open!!! :)
We decided to grab a picture of us after church:
After church I was able to convince the girls to get into regular clothes. They wanted to wear their swimsuits.... The girls had fun looking for their eggs:
It was nice to have Uncle Craig to help the girls find their eggs. Andy was busy with the video camera and I was taking pictures. I'll just share the first video with you. The second video has a lot of drama...
The rest of the day the girls were in their swimsuits. As a matter of fact, Audrey's already needs to be washed. After a yummy Easter dinner with friends, the girls and I made Resurrection Rolls (another idea from a friend). Audrey enjoyed eating the marshmallows and Rachel enjoyed helping me. They were yummy! So definitely a new tradition in our household. Rachel's already said she wants to make another batch.
The girls took baths while the rolls baked and then they enjoyed their rolls:
Definitely a good Easter! The girls are quite disappointed that Easter is over. But like any holiday, it will come around again. Rachel was able to gain a better understanding of Easter this year. And Audrey will get there... We are so grateful for our Savior and the blessing and promise we have to live again with Him some day.

So glad they liked the rolls and that they turned out for you!! Super cute family picture too!
Super cute family picture! and great idea to use bowls to dye the eggs. I used mugs b/c that's what we did growing up, but the bowls would work better for the little kids to see. great ideas.
