Happy Easter!!!

~Traditional Easter Egg Decorating~

So, we had to come up with a new way to use our Easter Eggs..... We love the Deviled Eggs, but you just can't have that for dinner. My friend, Jess, makes this yummy meal for her family for Easter and we loved it! So it's our new traditional Easter Meal, along with Deviled Eggs of course:
Egg ala Goldenrod
(I have know idea why it's called that, but it's yummy!)

Sunday Morning Easter Egg Hunt

The race is on!

The girls had fun doing their own photo shoot:
(Mom just needs to get better at being the photographer.)

The Reason for the Easter Season......

During all the fun of the Easter Season, we had a chance to go to the Easter Pageant with other Merrill Family! The girls were all so excited to see Jesus.

Kalicia was amazed that Jesus loved and even forgave the bad guys.

Charlotte expressed her feelings about Jesus helping her walk, like he blessed the other children.

Caroline just kept pointing to Jesus and excitedly repeating "Jesus".

A fun and Exciting Saturday!!!!

The fun Saturday ended with (Auntie) Lucia, taking out Grandpa Pember during the adults taking on the Pinata! (while the kids watched)

The Twins (Satya and Lucia) turned 30!
I thought I felt old when I turned 30, but to have my little sisters turn 30, turns me really old!!!!

Thank you Aunt Jessyka for throwing a great party!

(Satya and Lucia even dressed alike ~so cute!)

In between the fun Easter Carnival and the Birthday Party.....
We took our girls to see the movie "HOP"!
They loved that! We don't go to the theater very often.

They got to see the Easter Bunny!!!!

Thank you Aunt Rachelle for inviting us to her work
Easter Carnival!
She was in charge and put so much work into it!
The girls had an amazing time!

Lots of fun with COUSINS!!!!!

Thanks to Good Friday, and an unused "Snow Day" all the kids were out of school....
So we spent the day with cousins, going on a picnic and an Easter Egg Hunt at Freestone Park.

Another Surgery...... Tubes in Charlottes' Ears.

Dr. Cox usually only puts tubes in that last for about 6 months because they are supposed to grow out of it, but he went ahead and put some tubes in her ears that will last a whole year!

The tubes really helps her speech and balance. It's a dramatic difference when she gets them put in.

The doctor, brought her the mask ahead of time to play with to calm her fears, it sure did!
