We started off the weekend with some egg coloring. Madeleine discovered the wonder of drawing on the egg with a white crayon and then watching the scribbles appear after coloring the egg. But, I think we were more amazed then she was. She just wanted to color another egg. We also made each of us an egg with our name on it. 
We then spent time with my family Saturday participating in a couple Easter egg hunts. Madeleine totally knew what was going on this year. She was the first one out the door and was quick to pick up eggs. She got a good haul. She is also good at opening the plastic eggs and started eating the candy as fast as she picked up the eggs. 
Sunday, our girls looked beautiful in their new church dresses. Unfortunately it was nearly impossible to get a good picture of the two of them. As soon as Madeleine would give a good smile she would turn her head and be moving everywhere. She has no patience to sit still. And I must brag about the girls' bows. I made them!! I'm so proud of how they turned out. They went great with their dresses.
Madeleine also enjoyed hunting for her basket. She thought it was pretty silly that the Easter Bunny would hide her basket. She even got to hunt for Tori’s basket. Tori loved her basket and went straight for the Reeses eggs. That's my girl! We ended our festivities at the Drapers where Madeleine hunted for more candy with her ancient 27 and 22 year old uncles. Hope you all had good Easter too! Let’s hope springtime actually gets here soon.

You are a bow making pro. You are hands down the best bow maker I have taught. In fact I think you are better than me. Maybe you need to start making some for me. I am stuck in a rut with my bows I need some new ideas.
Lets see in April we are free on the following weekend days..4&5 11&12 19
Maybe one of those will work? And Beach theme sounds fun!
Fun pictures! And great job on the bows. I have a technical question - how come I can't click on most of your pictures and make them big? Is it just my computer or what?
On an Easter note, I'm glad I'm not the only house where the baskets are hidden. Dave still thinks it's weird that the Easter Bunny does that here.
Ancient, huh? I would be offended if it wasn't true, but we really are. I can't wait until Neil has his own blog with Easter pictures of his kids and references to his still single, very ancient brothers. Just a warning, as time moves on and the old man grumpiness starts to set in, Clint and I may not be as merciful in the Easter Egg Hunt as we were this year.
P.S.- I like the pictures.
Amy, I don't know why that is. I tried and found the same thing. I don't know if it's the way they are posted. We do make the pictures smaller so they will download faster on our super slow internet, but I don't know if that's the reason or not. It really shouldn't be. If anyone else reading this has any ideas, let us know. Sorry.
Cute Easter pictures! Holidays really are more fun with kids! Also, love your new basement! I bet you enjoy it even more since you did it yourself!
