Sitting on the stairs next to each other isn’t possible as it once was.

And the mad dash to see what the Easter Bunny brought is quite a dash anymore…just a relaxed curious stroll.

The Easter Bunny delivered mostly chocolate with a side of sour patch kids.

We made it to the 9:00 VPC Church Service….along with much of Vienna, which meant we had to sit outside the sanctuary!

The girls spotted a “celebrity” at church and were starstruck…they were even giddier when they got to take their picture with her.  They had to tell me who she was…Kendall Vertes from Dance Moms. 

We enjoyed the free treats and warm weather on the Town Green. It was a beautiful day and I was so happy that the outfits that the girls wanted to wear all coordinated with one another. Once I knew what they were wearing I pulled out my blue dress to maintain the look! And Justin and I always seem to wear the same colors so he blended in very nicely too!

We took the obligatory family pics.

And the annual Easter Egg Basket holding picture in the driveway.

The girls enjoyed an extended Easter Egg Hunt of chocolate filled eggs, hidden in both the backyard and the front yard.  Each girl had 49 of her own designated colored eggs and there were 27 “free for all”.

My parents came over for dinner.  It made oven braised chicken with white rice and roasted carrots and asparagus.  Emerson made a delicious loaf of bread.  Avery made a fabulous Easter Bunny cake. 

Harper made home-made cake-pops!

I have been on a gut health protocol the last four months and don’t indulge in desserts nearly as much as I used to.  But I did for Easter….as Harper said, “Life is about eating cake”.
