Easter

Easter weekend was so fun for our family! Katie and Wil came into town for the weekend and as you can tell the girls definitely loved it:

We tried to get a good picture of all the baby girls together, but that turned out to be a little tricky...

One thing that helped was Anna's puppy, Braun:

Individual family picture time:

It is so special to have all of these people to celebrate Easter with!

Then it was time for the little girls to Easter egg hunt:

This is the first time (or so we think) Naomi stood completely on her own!

Our little nieces are so adorable:

I love my sisters!

My sisters and I have a tradition of hunting for eggs every Easter. Now, we know the true meaning of this holiday! We are very grateful for the sacrifice that Jesus made on the cross for us and that is the true meaning of Easter! 

Since Anna is about 8 years younger than I am I ended up hunting for eggs longer than most people do. The tradition has continued with a few changes-mainly it has become full-contact. The only rule is that you are not allowed to steal eggs out of someone else's basket. If they happen to 'fall' out of the basket they are free game! The goal is to get the most eggs, but we always split the candy evenly :)

The Easter Bunny hid some eggs in toilet paper so I went after them. Anna decided to tackle me and Lauren joined in. I was so surprised by this because Anna usually doesn't participate to this extent, but it was fun to rough-house!

Happy Easter!
