Easter Morning

We had one of the nicest Easter mornings I can remember.  The girls were old enough to have fun with all the fun stuff but also get why we celebrate Easter. Meredith, especially, was always turning it back to Jesus.  So thankful that we can have a little fun with a bunny, all while making sure our girls know that Jesus is why we celebrate Easter.  

Meredith wrote out a note to the Easter Bunny and asked him to sign his name!

The Easter Bunny delivered and even left some treats for the newest Hanks-to-be - our puppy, Piper (who will join our family, in April!)

Sweet, silly girls
Sleepyhead Jillian and her hippo book
Meredith got a Magic Treehouse Book (or a "Jack and Annie" book as she calls them)

Just in case the girls hadn't hunted enough eggs, the Easter Bunny hid some in the playroom for the girls.  He had heard news of rain so didn't want to hide them outside.  Turns out, he could have, but....



After the egg hunt, we had Chocolate Chip Bunny Pancakes (yum!) and then got ready for church!  And of course, then there were the obligatory pre-church Easter clothes pics!






Then we walked into church with friends who requested a pic, and offered one in return.  Love that we got this sweet picture of us all together!


As we left church, I snapped a picture of the craft Meredith made in class today.  I love how she sounded out Matthew! :)
