Easter 2012

I LOVE Easter! I think it's my favorite holiday. I love hiding eggs over and over. I Love the fact you get to spend time with family without the obligation of buying presents like at Christmas. I love ham and all the food that goes with Easter.
Now that I have kids, I love it even more. I love explaining the traditions of the Easter Bunny, coloring eggs, and baking neat treats with Teagan (Emmersyn is too little of course, but will enjoy it in a few years too). Teagan was really into the Easter bunny this year. We explained that the Easter bunny came and delivered treats, kind of like Santa. She assumed that the bunny came on reindeer too, and told me all about the bunny flying down and coming through the door, etc. Such a good imagination.

This is my first bunny cake with Teagan! I was shopping at Target the other day, helping the bunny pick out treats, and saw the bunny pan and knew my girls would LOVE to do this! I was definately right...Teagan couldn't wait to put his "whiskers" on him. I think you're suppose to use jelly beans, but since I don't like jelly beans, I used m&ms...I think I had to redo them a few times and if you look by the bunny's neck, you will see little finger marks from some little girl picking the m&ms off! HA

And of course, we had to color Easter Eggs as well! I don't stress much about messes but did take Teagan's shirt off so it didn't stained. I probably could have just wrapped a towel or smock around her, but she is still little enough to go without a shirt so that's what we did! She LOVED it and wanted to keep "checking" the eggs by sticking her hands into the water and picking them up! Her hands were gross and stained, but her smile made it worth it!

I got these cute baskets made this year! I absolutely love them and it also helps Teagan know which toys are hers and which are for Emmersyn. I have tried to put something on Emmersyn's carseat multiple times and Teagan thinks they are hers and takes them so I made sure the Easter bunny brought something for Emmersyn and Teagan did fine with it! She actually thinks her friend Baby Hadley gave it to Emmersyn, but whatever works to allow Emmersyn some toys is fine by me! HA

And this is my FAVORITE picture of the girls EVER!!! I got them matching dresses, tights, head band and bows, etc. Yes, I know it is totally obnoxious, but I couldn't help it! I try not to dress them alike TOO much, but holidays are an exception! It is now my facebook picture, my screensaver on the laptop, and my wallpaper on my phone! HAHA!

I hope you all had a great Easter as well!
