We had a wonderful Easter Sunday today. We woke up to the sun shining and it was such a beautiful day to celebrate. The girls were excited to come downstairs to check out what the Easter Bunny had left for them. We ended up having to wake Harper because she was snoozing away and Handley couldn't wait any longer. Despite Harper's fear of the Easter Bunny yesterday at our egg hunt, she sure did seem disappointed this morning when she learned that he had come while she was sleeping and wasn't actually there to greet her in person. She kept looking outside the window and asking where he was. Ha! Harper's favorite things in her basket were the band-aides, her new Pez dispenser and her Biscuit's Easter book. Handley was excited about the "Tangled" movie, her new watch, and the princess Thermos water bottle.
After breakfast and a little relaxing we got ready for church and enjoyed a GREAT service with GREAT music!!! I loved that the service ended with the Hallelujah chorus...it was so moving! Then it was off to Gigi and Papa's house for another egg hunt and fun treats.

We had a quick lunch and then Robby chose to go running while I chose to try to take a nap. I had layed down with Harper in the hopes that she would nap, but she wasn't about to miss any playtime with Gigi and Papa. Every time my eyes would close she kept saying, "Wake-up Mommy!" So, instead of napping we all went outside and the girls helped Papa shuck corn for our dinner. They loved doing this and took their jobs very seriously.
We decided to pass on the traditional Easter meal and instead enjoyed grilling out for and spending lots of time outdoors today. We literally had to drag the girls to the car to come home this evening because they did NOT want to leave. I can't believe I didn't get one picture of them with Gigi and Papa, but a BIG thanks to you both for having us over today and for making the girls' Easter so very special. :-)
My mom worked long and hard on the girls Easter dresses this year and they looked adorable as ever. Thank you mom!!!

What a great Easter! Love the pic of all 4 of you too! Their baskets were adorable! Remember when bandaids were Handley's fav too!
Dresses are just perfect. Again.
And those pjs? PERFECT for your little hip chicks!
I hear you on the grilling instead of the traditional meal. You just can't beat being outside when the weather is so nice!
Love the dresses, absolutely beautiful! My girls are lucky too because they have a Great Aunt who hand sews and smocks dresses for them. I treasure each one, as I'm sure you do.
Love the dresses and that last picture of them. You look fab too!
That's a great family picture and the girls' dresses are beautiful!!! I just cannot believe your mom can do that. Amazing. I wish I had that kind of talent.
Glad y'all had such a nice Easter!
Sounds wonderful -- love the family shot!
