Easter Morning!

It was fun being at my parents’ house for Easter this year!  Lots of new places for the Easter bunny to hide their baskets:)  Annie found her basket first in the dining room.DSC_2852-187

Next, Leah found hers in the laundry room cabinets.DSC_2854-189

James was upset he hadn’t found his yet!DSC_2855-190

So Annie, being the sweetheart she is, went around with James and helped him look for his basket.  They finally found it in the hall closet and he was so excited.DSC_2856-191DSC_2861-196DSC_2860-195DSC_2868-203

The kids all got these cute Usborne books, and Grandma Walton made the girls adorable new outfits for their American Girl dolls!

My sister, Stephanie, made these adorable Easter dresses for the girls!  We went to a really cute fabric store in Los Gatos one day and came out with these 2 patterns.  Then last Wednesday, I took the kids to Steph’s house to sleep over and her and I whipped them out in one night.  Well, she whipped them out.  I sat there and watched and chatted and ironed fabric for her and anything else she ordered me to do:)  Aren’t they so cute??  She’s amazing.  And she doesn’t even use patterns.  She literally just whips them out.
