It's Finally Spring - with Easter Fun!

We have so enjoyed the warming temperatures around here...especially the girls! I'd forgotten how very much I loved seeing chunky little baby legs poking out from under the precious spring dresses!
There is just nothing better in the world! We have been busy around here with pollen season being in full swing...everyone has a runny nose. I guess we'll have to take the good (beautiful weather) with the bad (nasty allergies).


Let's get straight to the sweet Easter pictures! We had a wonderful Easter weekend, starting with Daddy being able to be at home on Friday and spending lots of quality family time over the weekend. My cousin Tim and his wife Rebecca drove down from Michigan for the weekend, bringing their two girls, Meredith and Amelia (ages 3 and almost 2). Having them here was such fun, as Ella had two little girl playmates for a change! She and Meredith had the best time playing with each other, often closing themselves in a bedroom and playing for long periods of time without interruption!


Here are some pictures from Easter:

Ella is checking out what the Easter bunny brought in her Easter basket...both girls got a new Bible, a 'fun' book, a small stuffed bunny and several eggs!

Natalie checking out the contents of her Easter basket, and enjoying the Cheerios that were in her eggs (since they got them first thing in the morning):


Ella getting a big hug from her cousin Meredith...and they both had the same Easter dress! How cute is that???


We took the opportunity to do a family picture, since we were all dressed up and looked so good! Natalie couldn't quite keep her eyes open in the bright sunshine, but still a very fun picture.


I'll post some pictures from our family Easter egg hunt tomorrow, so stay tuned!
