HAPPY EASTER!!!

Happy Easter everyone! Our Easter started WAY too early this morning. The girls were up and around at 6, WAY too early, but the girls were very excited about the "goings on" in our house. We had quite the busy household last night. Of course the Easter bunny came and left the girls some fun goodies and stole the dresses I got for them out of my closet and displayed them with their baskets:


Then, we had another visit from the Tooth Fairy:

Last night at dinner, CJ was eating cherries and lost her other tooth. It was really funny because every time our waiter came by our table she would show him her hole in her face by grinning and sticking her tongue through the hole. He got a kick out of it. (Every "girls night out" we go out to dinner while Spencer goes to Priesthood.)

We had a fun week. The girls had Spring Break this week so we were able to do some fun stuff. Tuesday we went to the park by our house. The weather was so beautiful that day. I think it actually got up to 80 that day, but the breeze was nice and cool. The girls really had a lot of fun. I think they are ready for the summer to start. On Wednesday we went to the Zoo. That was an adventure because when we got there at 10:30 (they open at 9) there were NO parking spaces! The line of cars was ridiculous! We were in the line for about a half hour just to drive by the zoo and find another parking area. We had to park about a mile away from the zoo and walk to the gate. When we got there the line was so long that we had to stand there for about another half hour. By the time we got through the gates, went to the restroom because we had been in line so long it was 12:30 and time for lunch. It was SO crowded, especially in the buildings with animals. The girls had fun though. By the end of the day, I so didn't want to walk back to the car, but we had to anyway. We were ALL so tired that night and the next day. On Thursday we tried shopping but didn't make it that far due to cranky kids, go figure. Friday was our huge shopping day. We went and got all our groceries for Easter. The girls love to get out and go shopping. They were still a bit cranky that day too. They need to sleep longer in the mornings. We went to Costco and got these strawberries that are...well, see for your self:

Spencer calls them apples. I think he might be right. They are the biggest strawberries I have ever seen! Very yummy too! Saturday we colored eggs:

The girls had so much fun coloring and decorating the eggs. They each chose 3 colors and we all shared. The Easter Bunny had hidden them around our main level this morning. The girls had fun looking for them. They found every egg so we won't have to worry about strange smells later this week.

It has been a fun and VERY exhausting week. School starts back tomorrow, I hope they won't give too much grief. Happy Easter!!
