We love Easter!  (well, most of us, lol)  I hope one day Rose will look back on these pictures and laugh and know how cute we all think she is, even if she is throwing a fit about absolutely nothing at all!  God love her!

 

Let the pictures begin…

I love this sweet picture of Harper discovering her basket and learning all about Easter fun!  Next year, she will be out there hunting eggs!

                 

Poppa and Rara with their stateside granddaughters.

 

Anna Kate had the most fun hunting eggs this year.  She found a purple one (her favorite color) and kept running around showing everyone her purple egg!

She finally started looking for more after cousin Brittany got her back on track! 

I love our sweet little girls! 

This is more like it… this is how I feel juggling three every single day! (& I love it!)

The girls know the drill and immediately started opening their eggs!

Going for the gold…

Score!  Cousin Linda puts in gold dollars for the kids each year, and they get so excited!

Noelle sharing treats with baby Rose.

 

Kay Kay and Grandpapa and cousin Melissa hanging out with the girls!

I love this pretty picture of John, Nancy, and Harper.

  

 

Here’s the talking tree… this place is full of surprises!  You never know what you’re going to find out here!

Kay Kay and Grandpapa look lovely in their “sweetheart” picture!  We were so happy they could join us this year for Easer.

 

Regan and Emma with Noelle and Rose.

Noelle wanted a “big girl” picture with her cousins this year… so sweet.  We have Brittany, Regan, and Ashley who are all sisters and Olen and Linda’s granddaughters.

At some point every year, you can always find one of the girls riding Brittany’s pink car in the Easter scene inside the family center.

Noelle captivates me.  I can’t help it.  They all do.  Each one.  Every time I look at them, I can’t take my eyes off of them.  Kids are such miracles!

I love Anna Kate’s spunky personality… life is just always so grand and exciting for her!  She’s always so surprised and thankful about the little things in life.

And baby Rose has just about got Easter egg hunting figured out.  Give her one more year, and she’s game on.  However, this year she did find the “golden egg” with a $25.00 gold dollar reward in it!  We got to write her name on the official golden egg for 2012!!!  Go Rose!

 

 

I love my fancy baby girl!  She is such a doll baby!  This is the first time since headbands that she’s worn a bow… I’m so excited she can wear a little pony, which means the bows are back in business!  

 

This picture of Rose carrying her candy in her mouth and a rock in each hand beats all! 

 

The girls got to pick one piece of candy a piece to eat, and they savored every bite!

Noelle takes such good care of Rose, and Rose adores her back!

 

Melt my heart, Anna Kate Pond.  Or steal it one!  You’re such a cutie pie.

Surely Granny and Pawpaw get to see this picture from heaven! 

Tell us about it Rose!  Talk to us.

Brittany telling the girls goodbye.

My Granny would be tickled to have this baby right here on Easter Sunday!

Of course my Anna Katey found the red dirt!

 

My sweet Bella Shwella.  This one is my cuddle buddy right here!  Noelle is so affectionate and loves special attention.  And I love all of the above.

And that’s all folks.  Hope you guys had a Happy Easter this year remembering the death and resurrection of our life giver, Jesus Christ!
