We had 30 people at our house for Easter dinner (including our family). It is so nice to be able to have friends over for holidays when family is half way across the US. We had a huge feast...ham, deviled eggs, squash casserole, green bean casserole, sweet potato casserole, green jello, homemade bread, green salad, yummy appetizers, Grandma Earlene's peach cobbler, angel food cake with strawberries and pistachio jello stuff. We were all stuffed!!! We then had an Easter Egg hunt for the kids. We had to do two hunts since we had so many kids, each family brought a dozen plastic eggs filled with goodies. So, the big kids went first and found all their eggs, next the little ones went and they found there eggs and immediately started opening the eggs and stuffing candy in their mouths. Everyone should have slept well last night after the sugar high they were on!
We had a wonderful Easter morning. It was a beautiful day here, highs in the upper 80s. The girls came down to find their Easter baskets. We did a few pictures and then off to church we went. Eric and I were in the nursery so we didn't get to be in church but hopefully with us being in the nursery it allowed someone who needed to be in the service to be able to hear the sermon. 
Here is a picture from the photo shoot Abby did with our good friend Steph Beaty. She has her own photography business, Lifeographer (http://www.lifeographer.com/blog/). She is amazing!!!! I will add the others to the album at the right!! She is also having a giveaway(http://www.lifeographer.com/blog/2011/04/spring-mini-portrait-sessions-giveaway/ ). right now, so if you are local and want some awesome pictures give her a call, definately worth the investment.
Abby had her spring program at school the week before last. They did the Pledge of Allegiance, Your a Grand Old Flag, and This Land is Your Land. She can sing those really well! After the program, she wanted to make sure I got a picture with her and her teachers, Mrs. Rapp and Mrs. Donahue. 
Lots!! The girls have been busy with all sorts of activities! The top picture is of Maddie playing dress up in her Belle (Beauty and the Beast) dress. She wears that all the time! The middle picture is of Abby's creation, she made herself a sea shell bra like Ariel (Little Mermaid) and then later made herself a tail all constructed from construction paper! The last picture is just of the girls posing and being silly!
