Easter

The Saturday before Easter, we got together with Eric's family and had an Easter egg hunt. Both Kinsley and Aila loved it! Kinsley thought it was hilarious when a squirrel ran away with an egg. I got so caught up in taking pictures of Aila's "first Easter egg hunt" that I totally forgot to take pictures of Kinsley (I still feel terrible- I can't believe I forgot to take her picture!). Eric and I talked about hiding more eggs and re-enacting the day but decided not too. It was a great day-- even Grandma and Grandpa Prather joined in the fun!

I did get ONE picture of Kinsley, in the house, sharing her ring pop with her sister.
Before going to bed I asked Kinsley what she thought the Easter Bunny was going to put in her basket? She thought about it for a minute then excitedly replied, "Hmmm, I KNOW!!!! He is going to bring me an Easter bike!!!!" She had really high hopes for the Easter Bunny this year. I told her a bike wouldn't fit in her basket and she said, "Maybe, he will bring me a bigger basket."

Luckily, when Easter morning rolled around she forgot about the "Easter Bike" and was happy having books, candy, and a new dress.

I tried to get a good picture of the girls in their Easter dresses (where is Savannah when I need her?!?!?!) but Aila was VERY uncooperative. She went to nursery for the first time that day and you would have thought by her wailings that we abandoned her. Seriously, I heard her screaming from the other side of the church building. I let her scream for 20 minutes then came to her rescue. She wouldn't leave my lap for the rest of church.... not even for snacks. She still holds a grudge and hates when we leave her sight.

Later that day my parent's had everyone over for a delicious dinner and another Easter egg hunt. After dinner, the older children had a hunt with written clues and a prize at the end. My parents had us running all over the neighborhood. Note to self: next year wear running shoes.

All of the grandkids before their egg hunt. Aila liked wearing her bucket as a hat.

At one point, during the hunt, I heard someone say, "Kiley, do you see what Kinsley is doing?" I looked and she climbed up the antenna ladder to get the egg someone had hid there.
