Easter

Madeleine and Harrison in their Easter duds -- don't they look adorable!


Mommy loves Madeleine.












This has been *such* a wonderful Easter! It's so much fun when you have kids & the day is all about them. Madeleine has been waiting for the Easter Bunny this year, anticipating all the candy he'll be bringing her. She went right to bed last night and popped up this morning, ready to see her basket. She followed the trail of eggs the bunny left from her bed to her basket & was so excited to see what he brought! She took everything out of her basket & lined it up -- like she was taking inventory. Ha! Of course, she had some chocolate (for breakfast). While Harrison didn't really understand what's going on, he sure looked cute in his Easter clothes.
After church we had an Easter feast! We had lunch with our Little Rock family -- the Stevens/Tappe families. With all the girls bringing something we had a spread! It was wonderful & I'm sure everyone ate too much. :) Then the kids went out to hunt eggs. Madeleine is now quite an expert on hunting eggs (we've been practicing at home) and we had to hold her back, so others could get some too. She ended up helping her friend Ella fill her basket, too. So sweet. It's so cool to see Madeleine and Ella hunting eggs, since her mommy & I hunted eggs together as little girls. There's something pretty special about seeing your kids becoming friends with the children of friends you've had your entire life.
So now we're home, tired from the day, but happy from all the memories we've made.
