He is Risen Indeed

Every year, Amber's extended family gets together to celebrate Easter at her Grandparents ranch in LaGrange.  They've invited us for the past several years to join them, and it's a total treat for us.


The first year we were there, was the day before we found out I was pregnant with twins.  

Fast forward two years and we have two little girls doing an Easter Egg hunt for the first time.  


Each girl had their own basket and they were able to put anything they wanted in and out of their basket for as long as they wanted.  


Caroline and Ellie were in heaven.


They were completely captivated the entire time.


The front yard of this ranch house is massive and they could walk wherever they wanted.


They kept venturing off walking one direction, but then realizing that their sister was somewhere else, they went to go find the other one.


Then, Amber's Granny comes over and shows the girls that the eggs actually open and there are things inside of them....


...and with that, the plastic eggs got a whole lot cooler, and the girls were trying to open and close the eggs for the rest of the time.


Well...and eating them.


Just like the last 2 years, I wanted to get a nice family picture.

Take 1:  Caroline crying and Ellie totally in the zone


Take 2:


Take 3:  Well, at least Blake and I are smiling....I guess this is the keeper for 2014.


Bobbie, Amber's mom, gave us bunny ears for the girls yesterday, so of course, we had to bring them and let the girls wear them for the day.


At home, they love to TRY ON bows but they love even more to immediately take them off, i.e. just give mommy a tease and not actually wear anything on their head.

Caroline having a brief technology distraction.  This girl and cell phones...

So, of course, we were cracking up when they wanted to keep wearing their bunny ears for the afternoon.  I never know with them.  


It was a great day.  They had fun and we probably had even more fun watching our babies discover new things.


...and as always when we're outside....hearing new things.
