"Mom, Peter Came!"

Last Sunday morning (Easter), I heard Kendall's door open.  She went downstairs to see if the Easter Bunny had come.  Sure enough, he had!  I watched her quietly from the top of the stairs.  She pulled each thing out of her basket, one by one.  Then she very carefully put them all back in.  Then she shouted, "Mom, Peter Came!".  I was bewildered, Peter?  Alas, she explained it was Peter Cottontail.  The whole day, she kept referring to the Easter Bunny as Peter Cottontail.  After the exclamation from Kendall, Sid made her way down the stairs to see all of their Easter surprises.

Kendall immediately used one of her note cards to write a thank you note to Peter.  She is getting really good at her lettering.  She will ask me how to spell certain words, then set out writing. 

After all of the excitement, we got ourselves ready for church.  The girls decided to wear their new dress-up hats and purses to church.  Good thing the Easter bunny decided not to get too crazy with the colors!

Kevin was very intent on getting a family self portrait before church.  Thank goodness for my husband always trying to capture the moment.

Our church always puts on a fantastic Easter egg hunt after service.  The girls had a blast as usual.  Sidney was really going after it. 

Kendall met up with her friend Jacob during the hunt.  Jacob looked very dapper in his snazzy Easter outfit. 

Sid was so excited with her candy loot that she had trouble deciding what piece to eat first...

It was a great Easter.  We enjoyed Kevin's favorite, spiral ham, and my favorite, sweet potatoes, for dinner.  It never fails every time I make sweet potatoes, the girls proclaim how much they do not like sweet potatoes as soon as they see them.  Then they venture to take a bite and end up going for seconds.  Smart girls!
