Showing off her egg work :)

Then I attemped to take some Easter pics of my own this year.  Bella was a bit cranky and didn't want to look at the camera, so I thought I would try again later in the week, but the weather didn't cooperate :/ I can't complain, the pics still turned out pretty nice and the ones I like the most were the ones where they didn't look at the camera anyways. :)




















Shoo fly!











The girls got unexpected visitors and packages in the mail, which included Easter goodies.

Enjoying the no mess coloring set that I LOVE!!! :)

They loved the Easter books their Aunt and Uncle got them. Thanks guys!




This year's Easter included five egg hunts:










#1 Egg hunt at their Great Aunt Sandy and Uncle Lou's cabin

Do you want to see the bunny?

The day before Reilly's farm we tried going to the mall to see him, but he's no longer at that mall, but Bella was excited either way.

Before seeing the bunny

"The Easter bunny is scary"

Then it went from hiding from the Easter bunny after Alaina saying that he's scary
