Easter 2012

Easter went by in a flash! I tried to enjoy ever minute of it with my kids and family. Isabella had Good Friday off school, so we had a wonderful park date with our friends and then headed to Popi and Grammys for traditional Friday dinner.

When we got to my Mom and Dad's house that afternoon, there was an AMAZING surprise waiting for me! My new Nikon camera!! I CRIED when I saw it! It didn't take me long to open the box and start taking pictures. I am so happy not to have to use my broken camera with the extra flash - always trying to compensate for the light. And long story short - my zoom lens got broke at one of Isabella's softball games, so now I have a new one to continue to take pictures with. We all know how much I love taking pictures. Thank you DAD and MOM! I love it SO SO much!

After dinner, we colored Easter Eggs. We had a very dramatic situation in which the special yellow egg Isabella was making just for the Easter Bunny dropped on the floor and broke. No, we couldn't just use another egg, that would NOT have been good enough! We actually had to make a new cup of yellow dye (I had already thrown the rest out) and cook another egg. But in the end we were happy and that is all that matters :)

 

Easter morning the kids were so excited for their baskets. They took everything out one at a time and looked over it.
 

We had a wonderful Easter dinner with our family and a blast hunting for eggs! But the most important thing to me is hearing Isabella tell me that we celebrate Easter because that is the day Jesus rose into Heaven. Amen, little girl!
