The Easter Bunny came to visit Rory while we were at church and left her goodies for her on her bed.

The Easter Bunny also came to visit Abby while we were at church.  He left her goodies on her bed, too.

"Look what I got!!" ~Rory

Time to hunt some eggs!!  Here they come!!

The girls hurrying to get eggs

Braxton is a master egg hunter

Gotta get the eggs

Yeah!!  Abby found an egg!! 

(And apparently some cheese balls that are all over her face)

Abby decided she needed to take a break from egg hunting to ride a bike

Rory was very serious about this egg hunting business

Another break for Abby

OOPS!!  She slipped out the bottom of the car

Rory found more eggs

"This bucket is getting heavy, but I won't give up!!!" ~Rory

Me and my Mommy

Rory realized that if she dumped the eggs back and forth, she could break them open to get the candy out of the middle.  She's too smart.

We had such a wonderful Easter Sunday this year.   The girls looked so adorable in their poofy Easter dresses!!  So many people stopped us at church to tell us how cute they looked and how they looked like little angels floating in their dresses.  We were pretty proud of our beautiful little girls!!  For one of their Easter presents, the girls got their very first "real" necklace.  Rory got a silver cross necklace and Abby got a gold cross necklace.  They were so proud of their necklaces!!  They felt like big girls getting to wear their "big girl" jewelry to church.  This Sunday was also a big day for the girls at church.  They promoted up to the next Sunday School class.  They had so much fun playing with their friends in their new class!!  They are growing up way too fast!!  Abby and Rory came home and told us that they learned about Jesus in their class.  I just can't believe how big they are getting.

After church, we made the rounds to visit family in town so that they could all see the girls in their beautiful Easter dresses.  We got a chance to see Great-Grandpa, Memaw, Uncle Richard, Grandad and Mimi Sue.  The girls had fun twirling and showing off their dresses.  When we got home from visiting, the girls discovered that the Easter bunny had come to visit them while they were at church (we thought this a better plan than before church so that we could actually get them out of the door... LOL).  The girls were so excited that the Easter bunny had brought them all sorts of goodies and left them on their beds for them.  After playing with their new toys and taking a much needed nap, we headed to my Grandmother's house for an evening of family and fun!!  We had dinner together, hunted Easter eggs with Braxton, and just had a fun evening together.  The girls got all sorts of goodies from Papa, Mimi Cinda, Aunt Shannie, Braxton and Gigi.  

Braxton and Uncle Mike also spent a good chunk of the afternoon/evening practicing T-ball.  Braxton is going to start playing  T-ball in May.  He's really excited and is Uncle Mike is having fun teaching him the basics.  All in all, we had a wonderful Easter  weekend!!  We enjoyed sharing this special time with our family.  We also enjoyed being able to be back at church and being able to praise our Lord for the wonderful gifts that He has given us!!
