Bright and early Easter morning, before our annual Easter Sunday breakfast at the church, our girls wake up to many colourful eggs full of treats hidden throughout the living room. This year poor Emmy woke up a little too early, before her sisters had even thought of stirring, and had to amuse her very excited self until Ryan and I finally allowed her to go and wake them up.
Happily waiting!
Elin's first time discovering what these eggs were all about!
Trying on the new Easter dress...over her Jammies!
Elle loving the hunt.
Eva searching away.
Elin found out early on that if she dropped the eggs, they would break... and ta da ..candy!
Inside we were busily celebrating our risen Lord, and the arrival of spring..new life...but outside..it was quite the snowstorm.

We still had church that morning, and our kids put on a great program in spite of the storm.
After our lunch, we headed out in the dwindling storm to celebrate Easter with the Skaling family..This is Elin having a great time "talking" on the dvd remote!
Auntie Ang had an Easter egg find planned for the next morning, so the girls had a busy time personalizing loot bags before they went to bed that night.
The cousins had excitedly set gotten their trampoline set up for the big day to enjoy with our girls, so they all went out first thing the next morning in spite of the layer of snow..which Ryan shovelled off while the girls anxiously waited!
This was the welcome sign on the front door when we arrived. It was the very first time we had stayed at the cousin's house for a sleepover, and the all the girls had a ball together!
Elin desperately wanting to out to the trampoline with the big girls.
and the hunt was on.
Elin found Auntie Ang's tiny dog Tullula Belle snuggled in her little bed..and lets just say the poor dog's nap didn't last long!
Counting up the loot
Finally the big meal we all had been waiting for!

After dinner we were treated to a show of greatest proportions!
The dancing
and performing were truly inspirational!
We had a great time being all together again. We just wished it could have lasted longer.
