Easter Extravaganza

We had a busy weekend. This was Aaron's last big weekend push so he had to work on Saturday so he missed out on some of the festivities. Saturday morning we had a ward Easter breakfast that turned out great. There were Cinnamon rolls, and fruit and juice and a wonderful program about the Savior. The morning ended with a giant Easter egg hunt and a surprise visit from the easter bunny. The girls were terrified. The candy filled eggs made up for the creepy bunny :)
Thanks mom by the way for the adorable easter bags. They were a hit.



Last but not least I have to toot my little horn... because this year for Easter, with so much help from my friend Gemia (who by the way has an adorable little etsy shop that you should check out HERE ) , I made the girls their Easter dresses. I fell in love with the fabric and I thought they turned out really good. Even Aaron was super impressed with them. I asked him, "what did you think they were going to look like." He replied, "I don't know but not that good." I'll take that! I hope your Easter was as wonderful as ours.

They look great! I can't wait to see them on in person! We missed you over the weekend- and the church breakfast (we just really need to stay home for at least one holiday)! Can't wait to see you again.

Those dresses are adorable, you did such a great job Jamie! Looks like Easter was a good experience for you and the fam! Just a few more days and tax season will be over! :)

Great job on the dresses, Jamie. They are beautiful and how much more special that their mommy made them. And I'm sure they weren't as expensive to make as to buy. Good for you!

I told Judson, Come and look how cute these dresses are, he said, oh, so cute! He was also laughing pretty hard at A's comment, haha he's so funny. I am very impressed you toot that horn as long as you want. Maybe if I start now I'll have something for my girls in five years... that's how long it would take me. If you think about it, not only a bunny, but a giant one, I'd be scared too.

You are always creating something so cute, but those dresses are very impressive. It also helps that the girls wearing them are pretty darn cute too!

Wow!! I am amazed. Those dresses are darling. Way to go! Glad you guys had a nice Easter. Dal wasn't too fond of the Easter bunny either. He was terrified.
