We celebrated Easter a week early since me and Paul were going to be in Iowa the morning of Easter. I told the kids that I talked to the Easter bunny and he didn't mind coming a week early. They were very excited to search for their Easter baskets and Easter eggs that morning.
Greydon found Asher's basket and Leila's before he finally found his in the pantry
They both got new books some arts and crafts stuff and the Muppets movie in their Easter basket
Cute Asher has no idea whats going on but does love smiling at the camera
Later that afternoon in between sessions of conference we dyed Easter eggs. Leila loves doing this and could spend hours decorating her eggs. Later that week Paul and I enjoyed yummy egg salad sandwiches.
This year I had a total mom fail. I have no cute pictures of my kids in new Sunday Easter clothes. I've decided that I can only do so much and some things like matching Easter clothes just don't matter. Yes they are very cute and I love getting new things for them but this year it just wasn't going to happen. For one thing I have a hard time finding something that Leila will actually wear. I did find a dress for her that she loves but she wouldn't wear it on Easter. I then couldn't find ties that matched Leila's dress and really didn't have the time to search around. It was really hard for me to let something like this slip but in the end I learned that it really didn't matter and we had a great Easter and my kids will never remember that they went without new Easter clothes for Easter 2012 (well until they read this entry). And don't worry I'm not judging you if you did have your kids in new clothes because I think it looks absolutely adorable and next year I'm hoping to actually accomplish the task.

I didn't get new clothes for the boys either. Just too much going on to go shopping. It made me a little sad, but oh well.
