Day 6 (Easter)

This Easter has probably been my favorite holiday with Lexi thus far. Why? Because she was so much fun. The Easter bunny came the night before and hid treats all over the family room. Lexi has to walk through the family room to get to our room. So on Sunday morning at about 6:45 she comes walking into our room with a big smile on her face and a Milky Way egg in her hand happily declaring. "Mom, mom there are treats all over the place and eggs too." Quickly, we all headed up stairs so she could begin her search for more treats. She had the best time as she ran around grabbing up everything she could find. Every time she saw a new one she would take of running with an excited sucking in of air and exclaim, "I found one." It was great. She was so excited and talked about it for week after. Let's be honest, she still talks about how the Easter bunny came and hid treats at her house. She even loved the princess tooth brush and princess tooth paste the Easter bunny hid. :) She got a lot of candy, so it was really nice of the Easter bunny to encourage her to brush all that sugar of her teeth. the encouragement worked cause she brushed her teeth about 4 times a day for the next two weeks.

She got a leapfrog tag too.

Happily showing off what she got.

Xander Chillin' with Lexi's goods.

The toy in his hand is what he got for Easter this year.

Based on the yawn I think it is safe to say that Xander was not impressed by Easter.

After the egg hunt it was time to break out the Easter dress Lexi has been dying to wear. She even asked for pretty hair. Luckily for us (insert sarcasm) since she was up at her usual early time, we had plenty of time to have a nice breakfast and give her fancy hair all before our 9:00 church. We even took the pictures before church. I wanted to get a nice picture of her in her pretty dress but she insisted on holding her new barbie, that her grandma sent, and sitting on her princess chair since she looked like a princess. Luckily the picture was still pretty cute.

After church we decorated eggs. Lexi had a great time and was actually quite good at using the little egg dipper.

We were trying to get Lexi to smile at the camera. This was her trying not to smile while dad made goofy faces.

She finally broke down.

Xander was pretty happy too while we were decorating eggs. But, we figured he wasn't quite ready to start dying them yet.

The kids were also pretty good at church so actually got to enjoy some of the nice Easter program. This Easter was a great one. I can't wait until next year.
