Easter 2014

I'm so disappointed in myself, but this was the second year in a row that we didn't get Easter cards sent out. Last year, Easter was in March and I was too busy trying to get birth announcements in the mail {and not to mention trying to figure out how to handle life with a 2.5 year old & newborn} to worry about Easter cards. I had every intention to do Easter cards this year, but our trip to Disney World threw me off. Oh, well! We'll try again next year!!! We did mangage to get our picture with the Easter Bunny a couple of days before Easter though!

Can you tell Hadley wasn't having fun?! ;)

On the Saturday before Easter, we attended the base's Easter Egg Hunt at the Marina Park.

I wish her face was covered up, but this is the excited expression of a girl who found the golden with a prize ticket inside! :)

After the Easter egg hunt on base, we came home & dyed eggs with Shelby while Hadley napped. It was our first time doing this at home together, and it was really fun! {Shelby had dyed eggs at an Easter playgroup last year, but this was our first time at home as a family.}

Hadley woke up to see the finished products :)

After the girls went to bed on Saturday evening, the Easter Bunny stopped by! I was so excited about Shelby's basket! She'd been saying for weeks how she wanted the Easter Bunny to bring her a Doc McStuffins paint set she'd seen at Target, so that was of course in her basket along with a Doc bubble wand, new Doc underwear, Doc book with read-along CD, & yogurt melts. Hadley got two new Easter book books & some yogurt melts. Hadley definitely got the shaft this year, but in our defense we never got much for Shelby when she was a baby either. Shelby's just at such a fun age to buy for these days--she's really into specific things and is so appreciative & excited when she receives something. It also helps that she doesn't have the "gimmees" yet. ;)  Hadley did luck out though and got Shelby's yogurt melts for herself b/c Shelby randomly decided she didn't want them anymore. ;)

Shelby's first peek at the basket...she was so excited!

Love this picture! Perfect smile from Hadley, but Shelby couldn't be torn away from her basket for even a second ;)

After Daddy make French toast (Shelby's favorite breakfast!), we headed outside for an Easter egg hunt in our backyard. :)  Shelby insisted she need her shades!

It didn't take Hadley long at all to figure out how to break into the eggs!

And then she was after the chocolate....Shelby snatched it out of Hadley's hands before she ever even got a chance to taste it!!

We had such a nice Easter together, just the 4 of us! After Hadley's nap, we had a family run & playtime outside. Then the rest of our day was spent on lunch, naps, Easter dinner, and yet another viewing of Frozen! ;)  It was a wonderful day!!!
