Easter 2011

Easter is one of my favorite holidays. Now, if you ask me what my favorite holiday was, I would probably reply Thanksgiving or Christmas. But each time Easter comes around, I am reminded of so many reasons why I love Easter. Easter signifies hope and joy and promise. I love Easter sunday and hearing the never tired message of the death and resurrection of our Savior and what that means to a dead and hopeless world. I love seeing little girls in Easter dresses, I love Easter egg hunts and dying Easter eggs, and my all time favorite Easter candy Cadbury eggs!!! Easter is such a special and significant time, yet full of fun and fairy tales!

This year I really enjoyed picking out Reagan's Easter dress and getting her Easter basket together. We had so much fun dying Easter eggs for the first time, and hunting for Easter eggs. But more importantly, I enjoyed trying to impress upon Reagan what Easter is really about, the true meaning of Easter. She does not quite understand yet, but I will always try to instill in her heart the true meaning of the holidays we celebrate!

Reagan looked so pretty in her Easter dress! She had a ball hunting for her Easter eggs, although I do think she was a bit disappointed that the Easter bunny was not actually at our house waiting for her. I really think she expected some kind of bunny to be out front when we took her out to find her eggs. She got over it soon as she hunted and opened her eggs and found her Easter basket. The Easter bunny brought Reagan a new bible, which she was really excited about. He also brought a sprinkler, some new bracelets, the movie Tangled, new sunglasses, and some Disney princess figurines. I do believe Reagan's favorite gift that the Easter bunny brought was her 4 pieces of candy that she found in her Easter eggs. She is her mother's daughter!!!















Hope everyone had a blessed Easter!!!!
