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!<\/p>\n

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!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8592\"<\/a><\/p>\n

She finally started looking for more after cousin Brittany got her back on track!  <\/p>\n

\"IMG_8520\"<\/a><\/p>\n

At some point every year, you can always find one of the girls riding Brittany\u2019s pink car in the Easter scene inside the family center.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8728-003\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Noelle captivates me.  I can\u2019t help it.  They all do.  Each one.  Every time I look at them, I can\u2019t take my eyes off of them.  Kids are such miracles!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8743\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I love Anna Kate\u2019s spunky personality\u2026 life is just always so grand and exciting for her!  She\u2019s always so surprised and thankful about the little things in life.<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8745\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And baby Rose has just about got Easter egg hunting figured out.  Give her one more year, and she\u2019s game on.  However, this year she did find the \u201cgolden egg\u201d with a $25.00 gold dollar reward in it!  We got to write her name on the official golden egg for 2012!!!  Go Rose!<\/p>\n

This picture of Rose carrying her candy in her mouth and a rock in each hand beats all!  <\/p>\n

The girls got to pick one piece of candy a piece to eat, and they savored every bite!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8845\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Noelle takes such good care of Rose, and Rose adores her back!<\/p>\n

\"IMG_8851\"<\/a><\/p>\n
