An EB&J Easter!

Kind of wishing we gave Ella a P name there :) 

So, Easter fell the day after Andrews 30th birthday and I had a little surprise up my sleeve so we didn't get to partake in many Easter egg hunts but I think the girls had fun. 

Coloring Easter eggs was fun! Note to self: do not leave the eggs out, toddlers will try to eat them. It wasn't the best day after that. The girls made a mess while daddy was feeding Jolie and mommawas  working. I heard it was an interesting evening.

This. 

Went substantially better than I could have ever imagined. We told the girls they had to be big helpers for Jolie and to hold her hand. Hence- Ella's outstretched little hand. Bria was sad. This picture describes it perfectly. If only Jo was smiling. 

We did a Cousin Easter egg hunt after daddy's surprise birthday dinner. The kids loved it! I filled about 50 eggs. I wish i would have filled 2 rounds of 50 eggs. They had a blast. 

Easter bunny came at the Moore Household and I almost forgot there little lambs and bunny I had made with the girls names on it. So his picture didn't show that. 

Jolie had the Dino basket and the girls had their baskets they picked out last year. 

The girls had asked the Easter bunny (well Ella did) for paw patrol and doc. I had to rush out to the store and luckily came through. 

& what to get a girl who has two big twin sisters and a ton of hand me downs. Ummm. This adorable hat! I was in love, I hope she wears it this summer. Heart eyes emoji. 

Easter eggs hunting was fun as usual for these two! They got a ton of change fort the girls piggy banks and even though it lasted about 1.2 minutes it was still fun. 

This may be my most favorite picture of the year. My cousins husband was the Easter bunny and Bria was deathly afraid. He came and blew bubbles with her. Melt my heart. Next year I'll pull out this picture to remind her how nice he is. 

We didn't make it to church. I'm sad about that. There's a part missing and that part is church. I feel like we need to get back and get back soon. I miss it tons. I want my girls to grow up in church and I feel like I'm failing them. Im so stuck on routine, that I'm having a hard time letting go (aka they nap 10-12) the entire church service. & usually I can't focus knowing the girls are in the nursery. 

The girls are learning about God. He makes the sky. And lives in Heaven. We have been trying to teach them about Jesus, but they just haven't got the hang of him quite yet. 

But God is so real. & I hope we raise our kids to know and truly believe it. We know it because of them. We prayed for these girls so much. Maybe more than any one thing I've prayed for my entire life. & My prayers were answered tenfold.
