Easter 2011

This year with Irey being 3 we have had a lot of fun with holidays! All of our holiday traditions we do as a little family are starting to be more fun because Irey is so excited about it!

On Saturday we decorated eggs together as a family.

 Can you guess whos egg has the "Y" on it? haha

Sunday morning Irey woke up to find Easter Bunny tracks leading to her basket!

 Irelyn's basket

Baby Reese's basket

Her basket this year was a lot more over the top then we normally do. But when the Easter Bunny finds a princess castle randomly at a yard sell for $5, Easter is the perfect excuse to give it to a very good little Irey.

She also got Aladin because the Easter Bunny always brings a movie. Her and Reese both got swimsuits for this summer. Irey was very excited to "share" her sunglasses with Reese.

We think Reese makes a pretty dang cute Easter Bunny!

Brandon made us all some breakfast before we went to church! LOVE THAT!

The girls Easter dresses

We got to see the Blackwell's and my dear sweet mother-in-law treats Easter like Christmas so the whole family got a Easter basket loaded with goodies!

Grandma made all the Blackwell granddaughters Easter dresses

At the Schroeppel's we do a Easter egg hunt every year. The kids love it and my mom loves to do it!

It was my first Sunday back to church. It feels so nice to sit down with my little family all together and to realize what we are really celebrating. I love my savior and all that he has done and over come for me and my family! I love Easter Sunday for more then all it's silly traditions. I am grateful for a time to slow down and remember that my Savior lived again and made it possible for my little family to live together forever, that's the greatest blessing in my life!
