Easter Sunday

I love holidays.  I love the specialness of the day.  This one was extra special because not only was it Easter but it was Alexia's 10th birthday as well.  We started out with baskets for the kids and Grandma Stewart found matching outfits for the boys this year.  Seriously still cute even though they are boys.  It took me a while to pick up Alexia an Easter dress this year.  She's way too tall for the really pretty ones in the stores even though all of the girls her age can wear them.  I'd kind of decided to not even worry about it but in the end, she's my only girl and she should get an Easter dress, right?  I thought so.  :)

Apparently the candy was yummy....

I splurged and did Jelly Belly's this year, so even Darren thought the candy was yum!

We dyed some eggs.  This is one of my favorite things to do holiday wise and I almost forgot all about it this year.  I was in the midst of a photography rush (16 appts in April!) and so the eggs didn't get done until Easter day itself but they were colorful and delish in potato salad later that day.

Very tricky to get four of them smiling and looking in the same direction, but at least they're all in there.

Once Spencer found an egg with candy in it his hunt was over.  He found a comfy spot, plopped down, and proceeded to eat some jelly beans.

Not these three though.  They were on the hunt for the Golden Egg with $5 in it.  I remember my dad hiding one of these once.

And she found it!  The egg was actually a tiny green one and was hidden in the middle of the rose bushes.  They all were so excited about it!  We'll have to have a repeat next year. 

Hope it was a happy day for you all too!
