Easter Weekend

Saturday was the day I've been waiting for for a while. The thought of coloring Easter eggs with my girls got me sooo excited. Last year Audrey & I didn't partake in the coloring process because she was all over the place and way too young. I knew she would love it this year, which she did and she was really good at it. I dragged Conor away from the couch at 9am to join in on the fun.

It really was the cutest thing ever!!

Saturday night I kicked the hub out and had the girls over for a Champagne & Cupcake Party. I found this cupcake recipe online and knew I had to throw something together for the ladies. We nibbled on a cheese & fruit platter, chocolate covered strawberries & a champagne cocktail while decorating our cupcakes and kids' easter baskets.

It was divine!

I found myself at Target quite a bit leading up to Easter. It's really easy to go a little overboard when picking out items for the baskets. I literally couldn't help myself. The theme was Dora & Hello Kitty and Audrey loved it!

The Easter Basket Cupcakes turned out to be adorable!!

I think this may be my tradition every year!

::Easter morning::

LOTS of Sugar. Maybe worse than Halloween!

My family came over and Conor grilled out hamburgers and hotdogs.

We tried to hide eggs outside but the weather wasn't cooperating that day.

So we moved the hunt inside.

Sneaky!

So I had this vision of dressing the girls up in their matching Easter dresses on Easter morning, going to church, snapping some pics of us dressed up in our Sunday best, having a picnic at the park & hiding eggs for the kids while the weather was so sunny and pretty. Well my plan got shot down like no other!!

None of that happened!! We didn't go church. It poured down rain all day. Instead of the girls looking pretty in their dresses, they resembled a 'Hobo' on the street. Seriously, all Audrey needed was a grocery cart full of empty cans and she would've been set. Ha! She refused to take off her new Dora night gown and she wore ALL the jewelry that she found in her basket~which was about 10 pieces.

So here we are. In our Easter picture, looking like scrubs. I can't help but laugh out loud. It just goes to show you, you can never plan anything and sometimes it's what you don't plan that turns out to better than what you expected. We had a great weekend with family and made some fun memories. Next weekend however, we will be dressing up and going to church, and maybe even hiding Easter eggs outside again (if the weather permits)!

I was about to pop 1 Easter ago. :)

2 Easters ago in Georgia, Audrey was 3 months

Hope you had a Happy Easter!
