Happy Easter

Finally! Life has been a bit crazy and I know that I have more than neglected my blog.I don't want to be sorry one day when I didn't document all the little things my kids did or said. So, I am repenting and going to try again. I am sure people don't even come to my blog anymore, but I am documenting for my own blog book. Let's just say, I have ALOT of catching up to do! Anyways... Happy Easter!

 Let just say that taking a picture of my family is NOT the easiest. I always feel so sorry for the photographer and warn them that they should book an extra hour! This is the best one I got. Oh well....

We had such a great Easter this year. It is truly one my favorite holidays. I love to reflect on our Savior and the gift that he has given me. I KNOW that he lives and he LOVES me. I am eternally grateful for him in my life and for his constant companionship. 

My girls are at such fun ages and are really starting to enjoy each holiday. We had a great morning at church and then came home for lunch. Jasons family joined us and then we were off to my sisters house for dinner. My kids love getting together with their cousins and playing. We are so fortunate to have so much family around but missed some of my family that are still living in Laguna. Can't wait to have them back! Here are a few photos from the day.....

Ava and Elle. I love my girlies!

Miss Em bug. I got a little smile out of her! She wasn't having the best day but the Easter bunny brought her some fun stuff!!! She is such a sweetheart and brightens my day!

Elsie had fun tearing into her basket! I didn't take a picture of the baskets but got it all on video. As you can tell... I was having problems with my camera.

We went over to my moms and colored eggs the night before. Ava had such a fun time. This year has by far been the most fun with this girl. I let her do it all and she really did do a great job! She helped Emmie and Elsie do theirs too. She is such a great sister, not sure what I would do without her.

My 3 little princesses. By this point, my girls were a mess. Atleast I got a picture even though it's not the best! 

My sister brought out her camera late afternoon as we discovered Elles LOVE for this little toy in their backyard. She kept making this face and the kids put her on this thing probably 50 times. She was loving every minute of it!!! We were cracking up. She has such a cute personality. Doesn't this make you want to squeeze her?

Thanks Trace! I stole these from your blog.
