easter.

We don't typically have a traditional Easter gathering each year.  Sometimes we are fortunate enough to catch at least one part of our family.  Usually I find myself a little down before Easter as we catch up with others on what their Easter plans will look like, and they run off to massive family gatherings, big feasts and kids running everywhere in egg hunts.  It can be difficult sometimes when things don't align with what you always envisioned for your children.  But we try to create unique memories for them to look back on.

However, this year I found myself very much welcoming a quiet holiday at home.  March is a very busy month for Todd, and Easter Sunday would be his first day in a very long time with nothing on the calendar.  We were anxious for just some little family time, regardless of the day it happened to fall on.

Just the four of us, a cozy day at home.

The morning was filled with an egg hunt at home.  Quinn was on a mission, Andie wasn't overly interested in finding eggs.

Quinn dyed some exceptionally beautiful eggs this year. :)

The girls loved digging into their Easter baskets.

(let's not talk about the fact that my one year old looks almost as big as my five year old in this picture)

 

 When the Easter bunny brings you swim goggles, you must put them on immediately.

This chickee is ready for summer. I'm in love with this vintage suit on her.

Hope everyone had a wonderful holiday weekend!

Happy Spring!
