Easter was fun this year as Shanna is beginning to understand the true meaning. I would ask her to tell me what Easter was really about and she would tell me, " Jesus was resurrection ". "And he was risen again (and in a sing song voice she would sing the next part). "Aaaalleluuuiagh" It was so sweet.


My aunt Kathleen sent the girls matching Easter dresses. They were adorable and as you might all guess (at least with the next few pics) that I absolutely LOVE to match them.

Dying Easter Eggs, Shanna had never done that before so she really enjoyed it..

Here is Lindey with her Grammie. And since it was just barely Mothers day I wanted to talk a little about my wonderful mother. Its just amazing to me when I look at these sweet babies of mine and the extreme love that I feel for them and know that my mom felt the same for me. It brings me closer to her in a way and helps me to appreciate all she did for me. The sacrifice and prayers are only just a few of what she did for me. What I wouldn't give to have her patience and insight into things. She is who I want to become and I love her for it!

I got these matching outfits at Costco. I just about died when I saw them. Fluffy skirts.. Love them! :)

The girls just love each other and it makes my heart melt to see them hugging and kissing each other.

(Also from Costco)

And of course we had to include a sleeping picture. These are the moments when they look the most innocent and after a hard day with tantrums and disobedience it all seems to melt away when I see my girls' sweet sleeping faces. They look like they were just sent from Heaven.

love the picture of the girls together on the love-seat. So cute in their matching dresses! I enjoy dressing Heidi up and painting her toes. It's so hard to pass up a cute outfit in the store. We would be in big trouble if we had two little girls in the house to dress and accessorize!
