Easter Weekend

On Saturday our Easter bunny came along with some presents from Nana and Papa.
Laneah got clothes, Barbie cheerleader pom poms, a tic tac toe game, a pony palace and some other fun things. I try to avoid candy so they got goldfish, yogurt rasins and a few small chocolate bunnies for treats.
Brooklyn got dot to dot art markers, clothes, princess rings, and a Minnie Mouse game for the Leap Pad. 
The girls were very happy with their Easter baskets. We got dressed quickly and headed to a Spring Festival. Another free event we found. The first thing we saw were these adorable ponies. You could brush them and put pretty bows in their manes! 
They also gave the kids carrots to feed them as well. 

Ballons and friends! We told lots of our friends about the event and it was so fun seeing some of them there. 

There were also ponies you could ride. 

There was an arts and crafts station. 
And two really great face paint ladies. Laneah picked this Hawaiian rainbow. 
I love this picture of her looking in the mirror. Pure happiness on her face. 

They had separate hunts for the different age groups so Brooklyn and Laneah were split up again. 
Brooklyn got her face painted by a different lady. She got to sit on a wagon and she asked for a pony on her cheek. It was really good. 


Besties: Sidney and Brooklyn.
There were fun games and prizes as well. And of course hot dogs, popcorn and lemonade. Yum! And like I said, all free! 
It was really fun and the girls loved it. On Sunday we went to church and then over to Jason's grandma's house to have dinner with the family. It was delicious! We had an egg hunt in the house for the kids and then headed home. My parents left from there to go to my sister's in Virginia. We were sad to see them go, but we knew we would see them a few more times before they left to go home.

The girls never miss an opportunity to get their faces painted, do they? Isabella is the same way. The area you live in seems to have so many things to do for kids. We need to plan a visit out there!

Such a busy fun day!I remember Laneah waking up very excited and wondering if the Easter bunny had come. After I made sure she and Brooklyn had woke up you and Jason, I told her she would need to look downstairs. She was so excited! She asked if it was Easter and I said No, that will be tomorrow. She was confused,so I explained that the Easter bunny came on Saturday because it is a fun day, and he wants all the girls and boys to think about Jesus and the Resurrection on Easter Sunday. So then we went to the festival, and I heard Laneah asking all her friends if the Easter bunny had come to their house. She asked me why he hadn't been to her friends yet. The only answer I could think of was, ' well he has a lot of kids to visit, I guess he hasn't made it to them yet.'
