Hoppy Easter

Easter was wonderful this year at our house! We had a lot of fun with friends and family....(KARA!) There were lots of fun events leading up to Easter that we were able to enjoy.

We took the girls to the Belmont Mansion which is at Belmont University in Nashville, for an Easter egg hunt. The Easter Bunny was even there!

The kids loved petting the baby chicks!

Brooklyn wasn't too sure about the chick, especially when it wiggled.

Lauren could hardly wait her turn and was SO happy to hold it!

The babies (I am told I cannot call them that anymore but it feels like they are!)

checked everything out while Katie waited in line to get her face painted and make a flower craft.

After the egg hunt and some lunch, Daddy drove us to the top of Percy Warner Park. There is a bench there, and a great view, where the kids like to play. They cheer for all the runners and bikers that come by and tell them "good job!" Now wouldn't those little faces make it totally worth climbing to the top of that mountain?
We also had a great Easter eggs hunt at the Adams-Albert's. This was actually the first hunt of the season and great practice for the girls. Lauren and Brooklyn needed a little help, but Katie was a pro. She found 2 eggs and came and put one in each of her sisters baskets before she was off to find her loot. She is a super sweet big sister!

The Easter Bunny was really good to us this year! Lauren & Brooklyn got outdoor cars which they have been glued to ever since.

The Easter Bunny told me that he had a REALLY hard time deciding whether to bring them 1 pink car and 1 red car, or 2 pinks. He debated and thought WAY too much about. But, he brought 1 of each. Funny enough, they both want the RED! That option was never even thought of! :)

Katie was a sleepy head that morning, but she was just as loved. Apparently the Easter Bunny heard from Santa that she got a doll house for Christmas and she got 2 more dollhouse sets.

We had some great friends over for lunch on Easter Sunday. Sam and Jonah are so adorable and will be 1 next month. Every time I see twins I think they are just adorable and amazing. Then a split-second later I remember I have some too. Seriously!

Kara came for the weekend and we LOVE it when Kara is here! Our adopted Uncle Michael came too! (Katie has a serious crush on Mike!)

We decorated cupcakes. (Brooklyn)

And of course had another egg hunt!

By now, the babies were pros! They knew EXACTLY what was in those eggs!

Katie....on the run!

And one of the cutest parts of Easter.....the dresses! The girls were so adorable in their dresses this year.

Brooklyn, a little unhappy at the moment.

The girls are just so cute. SUPER BUSY and very exhausting but Chris and I are really enjoying these ages and I know someday we will miss it. Hope everyone had a great Easter!
