Happy Easter

Easter with two little gals is double the fun, especially when they wear the same dress.


Our Easter celebration started a week early with a couple of egg hunts. Lauren was much more interested in hunting for eggs this year. She wasn't quite as 'intense' as some of the older kiddos, but she enjoyed it so much, we continued to play it at home.




We also got a visit with the Easter Bunny.
Apparently Lauren is more comfortable with large animals that don't speak than she is with Jolly Mr. Claus.

We spent some time prepping for the celebration by making Easter inspired cookies and dying eggs.



that post nap hair... sigh.




Then the Easter bunny came.

We decided mid-week to cancel our brunch plans and spend the morning at home with our own at-home brunch menu.
This ended up being a good decision. This was confirmed as Lauren ran circles around us, burning some of that chocolate bunny energy, while we casually sipped mimosas.


And of course it wouldn't be Easter without that Texas tradition of the confetti-filled eggs...


and Big Sister is a fan of this tradition.
She hasn't stopped talking about the eggs all week.

The eggs were dyed.




The bunny came.




M&M's were sampled for the first time.


before, during, and after the egg hunt.


Brunch was enjoyed.


Books were read,


chalk was opened,


dolls were hugged, peeps were a served as a snack, dogs were chased, bunny prints were washed away by the rain,
and the sugar meltdowns were dealt with.

Perfect. Easter.

a perfectly lovely {bunny filled} weekend

I love this time of year in Texas.

The days are warm, not hot. 

You can spend the entire day outside, completely comfortable

and as the sun goes down you slip on a cardigan and enjoy the last moments of a perfect day.

Bliss.

But it doesn't last.

So we spent most of the weekend outside.
