Easter is my favorite holiday. Not for the candy and egg hunts but for Holy Week! As a kid I hated going to church that many days in a row and I would buck about it too! Now that I'm an adult and "get it" I can't imagine Easter any other way than going and celebrating/participating Holy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Vigil and Easter Sunday. Lauren ended up throwing up Thursday afternoon so I had to miss Holy Thursday service. Kind of a bummer starting out. But I was where I needed to be-with her. Luckily it was a quick little bug and as a family we were able to attend Good Friday and Easter Vigil. And another part of Easter that I like is coordinating the girls outfits and Brian and mine too! Its dumb I know, but its a way for me to feel like I have it together for at least 1 day. :)
Starting out Saturday, the girls and I went to River Rock for a treat and coffee while Dad was hard at work in LeSueur.
Then right before Lauren went down for a nap the girls got the egg dye ready. They were very organized this year and tried some fun new colors.
Saturday's Easter Vigil was a little over 2hrs long and this photo was taken after. All smiles!! There were 5 Baptisms (one adult, two teens and two kids) 7 First Communions and 3 Confirmations. It was extra special!
Back at home I wanted to get a few more pictures, but I think everone was DONE at this point. Our craziness/silliness settled in.
Our "twinsies"
Its the Easter Bunny!!
