Happy Easter!!

After church on Palm Sunday, we went over to the mall to have a visit with the Easter Bunny! As you can see, Ceili was more than excited to sit on his lap...and Keaton was a little less than excited about the situation!
Growing up, we always hung Easter eggs from the trees in our front yard...so, of course, we had to decorate our tree out front the same way! Ceili was soooo excited and proud of "her" Easter Tree!!
To start off the Easter weekend, Ceili's preschool had their Annual Easter Eggstravaganza!! We had a HUGE pitch-in breakfast, an Easter egg hunt, and fun games for the kids to play!
Then, on Saturday, Ceili and Keaton were invited to their very first Easter Party by their cousin Carter! The party was B.Y.O.B - Bring Your Own Bunny and was complete with little bunny-shaped Peanut Butter and Honey sandwiches and little Bird's Nest cupcakes! YUM YUM!! The kids got to decorate easter eggs, which was a blast of course!! The party was adorable and the kids had a great time!!

And Keaton with his...he hasn't felt the best this week - can you tell??
Auntie A helped Ceili with her craft - Miss Ceili is attached to Auntie A's hip these days!
Ceili with her finished eggs that we took to Nana and Papaw's for the Easter egg hunt on Easter!
Above are the cousins with their bunnies (Kalen was there too, but we don't trust any of the older ones to hold him on concrete just yet!!).
Ceili was really excited to set out a treat for the Easter Bunny on his very own plate! We bought him a gummy carrot...and he must have liked it because it was gone in the morning!!
Below is Ceili with her Easter basket, full of goodies!
And here is Keaton with his...
After church, we went to Nana and Papaw's for a yummy brunch and Easter Egg hunt! The little ones had so much fun hunting all over the yard for eggs - it brought back so many memories of when I was a little girl!!
The Easter Bunny brought Miss Ceili her very own "real" Princess mirror - it's even engraved with "Princess Ceili" so everyone knows it's hers! Along with the mirror, she got big girl make-up, complete with eye shadows, mascara and lip gloss! When we got home from Nana and Papaw's, she couldn't wait to try it out! Below are just a few pictures of my big girl putting her own make-up on...I was amazed at how well she actually did and that she really knew where each kind of make-up went on her face!
