What I like most about Easter. . .

Yesterday, our children carried on the Ellis family saturday morning easter egg hunt tradition followed by the once a year boiled eggs, cotton candy, candy in general, & chocolate easter bunnies for breakfast. I felt We opted indoors this year since I really wanted to enjoy chocolate and it's 92 degrees outside.

This morning during sacrament meeting, Gavin was sitting on my lap. I was trying really hard to keep him reverant, but couldn't help a silent chuckle when I heard him humming the song from Winnie the Pooh's easter movie. "What I like most about easter, is the way that we show that we care. . ." Even though it wasn't exactly a hymn, it was nice to see that he was listening to something and associating it with this special day.

Happy Birthday Lily!

For Lily's birthday, I promised her we would take her to the Mad Hatter's Tea Room like we did for Jessica's 5th birthday. I couldn't help reminiscing a little. Here's some comparison pics. I can't believe my little baby girl has grown up so much. Although her precociousness can drive me crazy, she definitely makes me proud. I love you Lily! Happy Birthday!

Jessica and Lily's 5th birthdays @ Mad Hatter's Tea Room

Lily's not the only one who has grown up. Guests in common for both parties are Haley, Amber, Lily and Jessica. See if you can find them in these pics.

I love Lily's laugh in this picture. She had such a good time with her friends!
