Easter was pretty low key for us this year - just our family - but it was great being together! The week before Easter there was an Easter egg hunt at the cemetary a few blocks away from our house (I know, sounds creepy, but it's actually really pretty, and kind of like a park), so since Brian was out of town, I took the girls over by myself to get eggs and meet the Easter bunny. I got a few cute pictures. Then the day before Easter, our ward had a primary activity for the kids at the church, which was making an Easter bag, and then going on an egg hunt. The girls had a lot of fun. Later that afternoon, we went to the zoo. The weather was a little brisk, but it was so sunny and pretty outside that I didn't mind. Then that evening we colored eggs. I have to admit, Brian had to talk me into it, because I don't like coloring eggs with kids. Horrible of me, right? I just hate how big of a mess it makes for the whole 10 minutes it takes to color the eggs. And then getting the dye off of our fingers.....ugh. But hey, who am I to fight tradition? Our day was so busy and I was so tired that night, I was REALLY glad our church doesn't start until 2 pm. It gave us time to sleep in and for me to get dinner ready. We had several honorary Easter bunnies this year who sent treats and presents to the girls (thanks family members!), and strangely enough one of their favorite things they got was "Bunnies Chews", which basically looked like a little bowl of dog food. Jenicca's dog, Fozzy Bear, sent that one. We got some cute pictures, and of course had lots of egg hunts, that morning. For dinner I made beef tenderloin, double stuffed potatoes, and strawberry spinach salad, with homemade carrot cake for dessert. It was awesome, if I do say so myself. Even though we were just by ourselves this year, we had a really fun Easter, and here's the pictures to prove it:

I love how self-satisfied Makayla looks in this picture. She was very proud of her eggs!

Oh, I love their dresses!!! I just buy pastel polo shirts every year. Not much fun in that. And coloring eggs was much easier this year since they are older, so you have that to look forward to! :)
Hey, where's thi picture of your great dinner? I wanted to see all that yummy-sounding food!
Oh, that dinner sounds SO delish! We got home so late that we had frozen burritos. On Easter dinner. :) Glad you guys had a great day!
We missed you at Easter. Great pics of the girls, they looks so beautiful!!
It sounds like a great Easter. My favorite is the outfit Kylee came up with to color eggs. Your girls are so cute.
I totally didn't notice Kylee's outfit until I got done reading one of the posts on here. Holy cow she is gonna set trends!
What great pics!
