He is Risen!

Happy Easter!

Easter Printable!

With Easter this coming Sunday, we've been doing a lot to teach our girls about the true meaning of Easter and why we celebrate this week. So when I saw this great printable of the song "I Know That my Redeemer Lives," from A Little Tipsy, I was excited to add it to our decorations.

I printed mine on cardstock and then cut it our and glued it to a pink backing, and then glued it onto a springish 12x12 scrapbook page and put it in my 12x12 frame I use for my family rules.

Easter Recap

This year we spent a great Easter celebrating with family. We went to church in Grand Rapids, and got to be there as my cousin Shelby made Profession of Faith. Then in the evening we went to my parents house for dinner and an egg hunt with my brother and my sister's family.

Here is Molly showing off her Easter dress!

And Nora! My camera is having some issues, boo, so these all didn't turn out.

The girls! :)

Puff Paint Chick Eggs!

We had a bunch of plain colored plastic eggs laying around, so to "Cutify" them, we added a little bit of black and orange puff paint to make them look like chicks. Adorable! I was inspired to make these from a picture in the Oriental Trading Company catalog. So easy to make, Molly has been using puff paint to decorate all the pink eggs with purple polka dots! (a great way to use up the left over puff paint I have lying around from when I made Potter Puppet Pals)

Easter Peeps Craft and Egg Hunt!

This afternoon it rained for a few hours, so we decided to quick make up these cute peeps gifts for tomorrow. We just put a row of peeps in a snack sized zip lock bag and stapled card stock on the top, then stapled on this cute printable, Happy Easter to one of my favorite Peeps. You can get this printable for free at eighteen25, where I got this great idea.

I think they turned out SO cute. I can't wait to give them out to our family tomorrow.

And I had to share the pictures from Molly's first Easter Egg Hunt this morning. She had so much fun collecting her eggs. The church had the hunt set up so great, instead of the mad rush for eggs, they had each of the little kids find one of each color egg (6 eggs in all) and then trade them in for a gift bag at the end. It was nice to know that they had enough eggs for each kid to get each color so we didn't have to hurry.

She was very happy to show off her good work, and hasn't stopped talking about it all day! Here she is looking a bit tired. I'm not sure exactly why, but she has been SO tired lately, even though she has been sleeping and napping well. I'm guessing it is either those pesky molars that are almost done coming in, or her eyes are starting to get a little worse and are starting to bother her a bit. But either way, she still had a blast hunting for eggs.
