Easter this year for us was way different then were use to.
Back when we were in CA w were use to making multiple trips to different family members houses, multiple easter egg hunts and lots and lots of fun with cousins. But this year there was none of that.
This year, our first big holiday away from family was a very quiet one. Jason was still at work, so it was just the girls and I. I was afraid that we weren't going to be able to have a little egg hunt cause it had been raining pretty much all day. While the girls napped I baked some cupcakes and filled some plastic eggs with jelly beans and coins. I was hoping by the time that they woke up it would be ok enough to go outside and do a little egg hunt.
It stopped raining long enough for me to go hide some eggs outside on the front lawn for the girls. We didn't have a lot of eggs but the girls still had a good time. They are now inside hiding eggs in the house and playing more. I'm glad I was able to do something a little fun for them. It makes me sad that we weren't able to be with family this year.

You're such a good Mama! I'm not sure I'd be too motivated if I was home by myself with the girls---I'm glad you were able to make the best of it and it looks like that girls had a blast hunting eggs :-) Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter to you all. Having a quiet stay at home holiday seems like it would have it's pros and cons! We run all over town any given holiday!
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you all had a great day!
So sweet- Kaylee and Keira almost look like twins in that second photo!
ReplyDeleteIt's hard having Holidays without family around eh? I hear you on that. But it looks like you guys made the most of it!
ReplyDeleteThey are too cute! I'm sure it was difficult being away from family this year.
ReplyDeleteI know it was a big change for you all, but it sounds like you still had a wonderful day!
