Of course there are Easter pictures! Life has been busy since Easter weekend, but I'll attempt to catch everyone up in a series of posts, pictures (see flickr), and videos over the next week or so.

On the Wednesday before Easter Sunday, the girls "performed" in their first Easter program at Mother's Day Out. "If Your Happy And You Know It" is one of the girls favorite songs; however, all Abigail could do is a couple of hand motions and her swaying dance, and Sydney was dazed half of the time and cried half of the time. At times, they both looked as if they were enjoying the spotlight, but the jury is still out on both of them for an acting or singing career. The teachers at MDO had an Easter Egg Hunt set up for each age group, and I am happy to say both Sydney and Abigail mastered the art of hunting. They filled their baskets up in minutes - so heavy that they could barely keep them from dragging on the ground! We counted a combined 50 eggs! I'll put a video together of the hunt - we couldn't be more proud.

We also participated in the hunt at church on the Saturday before Easter Sunday - for approximately 7 minutes. It was cold! The "Dogwood Winter" blanketed much of the southeast in early April and killed many unsuspecting plants. Question: if a late frost wilts the plants and pollen-producing growth on the trees, will a warm up in the true Spring and Summer bring even more allergies!?! We bundled the girls up in their winter coats (thanks again, Rootie!) for the church Easter Egg hunt, but they did not care anything about eggs. They both ran around with the other kids and passed up the eggs! Mama and Daddy did not want the candy in the house anyway!

As you can see from the pictures, Sydney and Abigail looked like princesses in their dresses and were very sweet to each other during picture time...holding hands, hugs, and kisses! So sweet. We were blessed on Sunday morning by our experience at church - it is amazing how God works through the testimony of others to show his grace and love. Lunch at Great Grandma and Grandpa's created more photo opportunities (see flickr).
