Hippity Hop...What an Easter Day!

Once again I am so far behind with the blog!  I have been quite the blog slacker the past few weeks, but we have been very busy!  A certain few family members even got on me tonight for not posting in soooo long (yes, you know who your are, but I don't mind!)  I told them I didn't even know where to start because I am so far behind, but I decided to just start with the most recent and go backwards, so expect some more updates this week (maybe...hopefully!)

We had a very busy and very fun Easter this year!  Thankfully the Easter Bunny realized that our girls have plenty of "things" and didn't go overboard this year!   Thank you Easter Bunny from the bottom of my heart and my overflowing basement full of toys and pantry full of snacks!  He must know that I am a clean freak and needed a bit of a break from all of the holiday clutter!  

He did leave the girls some new dress-up shoes and stuffed their basket full of goodies!
The baskets included new bug catchers/holders, girly headphones, sunglasses, fake fingernails, walkie talkies and of course CANDY!
I am not sure about the rest of you, but we have the most creative Easter Bunny.  He goes to such great lengths to hide eggs for the girls.  Some of them are pretty silly too...
He must know how much Seville loves changing baby diapers right now!





Can you believe he made these towers?  There were eggs on top and inside!
And he even built this castle!  WOW!  He must have an architecture degree! ;)
The girls enjoyed all of the fun hiding places when they woke up Sunday morning!





The Easter Bunny even hid some in the bathroom!
Hadley was very good about making sure Seville got to find some of the eggs!

New shades just like Daddy! (remember the white ones he got for x-mas...she always tells him he is stylin' when he wears them!  Now she is stylin' too! 
The girls in their new dress-up shoes!
After we hunted at home we all got ready and headed to Gam and Grampa's church.  They were having an outside hunt this year and it was burrr COLD!!  
The kids were divided up by age!
I didn't plan on the girls wearing these dresses for Easter, but then I decided they looked like Easter eggs and they should wear them!
Seville is VERY good at finding eggs, and you would have thought she was in the wrong age group even though she just turned two!  She has been practicing for many weeks at Grandma Sue Sue's!  





Hadley knew exactly what to do as well!



She was very excited about this one, but I am not sure why!

Here they are listening to the pastor during children's church.
After church we headed over to Grandma Sue Sue and Grandpa Jim's for the Fillingham Family Easter Eggstavaganza!  Great Grandma Wilda and Uncle Ron made it this time too!  
Here is Grandma Wilda with her grandkids and great grandkids!  
We tried to get a family shot, but it didn't really work.  This was the best one, but you can't even see Seville!  Bummer! 
Kids table at lunch (before we added about four more kids!)
A very small group of cousins getting ready for the hunt...we were missing a lot of people on Easter this year!
Seville and Hadley were great hunters again!



After Grandma Sue Sue and Grandpa Jim's we headed home for naps and then met up with Grandpa John and Grandma Pat for dinner!   It was a busy but fabulous day!  

More to come later this week on egg dying, water park fun, and more!
