Easter 2016

This was the second year that I decorated eggs with the girls. Always a fun activity - although I would NOT buy the glitter package again... very messy and it did not turn out like the picture showed. LOL!

Easter morning - the girls woke up to find eggs hidden around the house. Yogurt melts, puffs, and a few smarties were inside...and a couple big ones had some little My Little Ponies in them, too. :) I can still get away with putting some of the toddler Gerber snacks in the eggs instead of candy. :)

Easter "baskets" - actually re-used Lululemon bags - which I like better anyway. :)

Bunnies, a book, and some marshmallow cereal :)

Getting ready for church, Camryn was very excited to wear her new white dress. Taylor wasn't interested in pictures before church...while Camryn couldn't stop twirling in front of the mirror. ;-) They both definitely have their own personalities!

We got to church a little late, and Camryn's classroom was full, so she came with us to the big church. There were glow sticks, so she was a happy girl.

Later, Bapa stopped by with Easter baskets for the girls, too.

Busy, fun-filled Easter day!

Suprise visit to Taylor's Classroom

I took a half personal day to be a surprise "Mystery Reader" in Taylor's classroom. :-) I brought along a little craft and snack to share, too.
Taylor was so surprised when I walked in the room and gave me the biggest hug!!

I read "Little Red Hot" and a rhyming bunny book

I love Taylor's expression that her teacher, Mrs. Meyering, captured while I was reading

Taylor making her bunny craft

Loved getting to spend an hour with Taylor in her classroom!

This was my third Open - and although I feel like I have grown in a lot of ways since 2014, each year is JUST as challenging!
