An Easter Miracle - a New Blog Post!

I was reminded by a friend that I have two blogs, not just one, and my poor family blog has been neglected for too long.  Since the last post was Christmas, I thought it only fitting that the next post was Easter!
We were looking forward to Easter in a new way this year since it's Vivi's first with us.  She had no idea what she was in for at the church Easter Egg Hunt but Micah tried to fill her in before it got started.
Her first egg!
The pro getting started on his hunt.
This was the best shot I could get of Micah. He was determined to get as many eggs as possible and wasn't going to be slowed down by a pesky mother who wanted a picture.
Once she realized that there was candy in the eggs, she was done.  Instead of searching for more eggs, she just wanted to stop and eat all the candy she already had.
This is Vivi's "What do you mean I can't eat ALL of my candy right now???" face.
"Um, Mom, my brothers are a little crazy.  Maybe you were on to something when you wanted me to limit the sugar because they have clearly had too much!"
 They can all sit together.  And smile!
At home, we got ready to dye our eggs.
All done!


Tasting the final product.  Despite how much of it she fit in her mouth, she wasn't a big fan of the taste.
The Easter bunny came!

Pretty girl in her beautiful Easter dress.  Thank you Aunt Deci and Uncle Ryan!!
When did he get so grown up???
Mr. J. Crew himself.
It's impossible to believe that Vivi hasn't always been with us.  She has just fit right in.
We managed to get a picture of the five of us at church today.  Not our best effort, but we're all in it!
