Easter

We had a great Easter at home this year, made even better because Annie came to visit!!!
Caitlin and Ashlee love when Annie comes and this time Ashlee even seemed to get a little confused at who was who.  Even today she told me that I look like Annie, which I do.  (Although I don't think we look as much a like right now since I have a bunch of baby weight to lose and she doesn't) 

Our egg dying went like this
2:02pm start dying easter eggs
2:04pm Caitlin says "Ashlee you can't dye them all!!!
Ashlee dyed probably 12 of the 18eggs in just 2 minutes!  She wanted those eggs in and out of the color as fast as she could do it.  It was a fun, albeit short, event. 

Annie played outside with the girls and went on walks with them.  This instance Ashlee was running down to block to see our friends who live on the corner.  She would carry the shovel in one hand, then switch to the other hand once she was tired, then carry it over her head with both hands when she was tired again.

Another time she was riding her scooter around the block and she stopped and told Annie that her leg was tired.  Annie told her to switch legs.  So she did, and then she said she would switch arms too.  So then she was riding her scooter with her arms crossed to the opposite handlebars.  We never have a dull moment with her!
 Caitlin is awesome at riding her bike, and she would do it every waking hour if she could.

All the Easter Baskets waiting to be looked at.  After Molly was born we got some beautiful flowers inside this duck.  I didn't have a basket for Molly, so she got to have the duck as her basket this year.
Caitlin and Ashlee got sandals from Grandma and Grandpa Bishop and were so excited to wear them to church.
We have been 2 different places that had mustaches to buy from the 25cent machine in the past 2 weeks, and both times Ashlee has asked Chris if she could please have a mustache.  So they got them in their Easter baskets.  Ashlee wasn't that thrilled about sticking it to her face and the pain or pulling it back off, so I think she is over her mustache fetish now.

 Finding Easter eggs.  We didn't get new dresses this year, so they wore their dresses from last year.

Chris and Molly were fighting head colds, so we had a quiet Easter dinner at home by ourselves.  It was delicious.  Caitlin loved the ham most of all (well, maybe 2nd to the rolls) and Ashlee loved the deviled eggs.
