We took over a hundred pictures yesterday. I may have to post some more tomorrow because I don't even have any of the egg hunt on here! It's pretty hard to resist when your kids are dressed up and doing cute things like hunting eggs! Because it was cold we hunted most of the eggs inside and only a few outside. This year was fun because Little John seemed to understand some of it for the first time. He enjoyed hunting eggs, loved the candy, and our little family shared a special time yesterday morning as John and I talked to him about Jesus while he looked through the
resurrection eggs. Having him go into my parents house and say, "This is the empty egg!" in a very excited voice made my day. We have always had a tradition in my family that the empty egg is the best one of all because it reminds us of the tomb when they discovered that Jesus was risen! I love seeing Little John carrying on that tradition. I grew up on the resurrection eggs each year and if you haven't tried them with your kids, they're great! We used to make our own with things but now you can just buy a set at Christian stores and online.

Apparently Easter sacks are for chewing when you're cutting teeth (already!)
Little John was very proud to be wearing a belt "like Dad." If he hadn't, his cute little pants would have fallen down! In order for his pants to be long enough they're always too big in the waist.
My friend, Katelyn, gave Kailey the cutest bunny coat which turned out to be the perfect thing for our cold Easter! It was so cute!!!

Such cute kiddos you have!
I'm glad other people take that many pictures too! How can you not! They'll love having so many memories to look back through when they're older!
Hey Courtney!
I'm so glad you found me on facebook! I've checked out ya'll's website every once in a while for updates... but hadn't seen any new pictures so I figured you were too busy with mommyhood! haha... You're kids are adorable!!! how fun to have two now! I enjoy spending time with my brother's two little boys... I love them dearly! You'll see pictures of them plastered all over my facebook and blog. :-)
What a wonderful celebration you all had! I got out our Resurrection Eggs and shared them with Jack. He loved the empty one, and everytime he opened it, he said "He's alive!!!". I think while I am commenting, you are painting at Matt and Christine's. You and John are such a blessing in all our lives and we love those little ones too!
See you soon...
Hugs!
Why have I only just this year discovered the Resurrection Eggs?? Did they not exist in West Texas when I was growing up? I'll have to ask my mom about that one. I almost don't want to put our set up - the boys have loved telling us the story over and over, and I love hearing it. Easter all year long at the Vaughns, I've decided!! He's ALIVE!!
