Happy Easter!!

We woke up to an egg trail this morning and half eaten carrots. It could only mean one thing..THE EASTER BUNNY ARRIVED AT THE MARTIN HOUSEHOLD! YES!

The girls loved following the egg trail down to the basement. We had to get clever this year. Lydia has been waking up EXTREMELY early the past couple of months and so I knew the girls would not wake up at the same time. I also knew I would not be able to keep the wild Lydia upstairs until Lillian woke up. So, what to do? Hide the goodies in the basement and it worked!

Now, Dutches was here too for her first Easter in this household. She managed to chew some plastic eggs, mess up my trail, survive confetti eggs in the backyard and hoard some candy in her kennel. But, all in all, she loved Easter too!

Lydia came down the stairs and the first thing she noticed was the half eaten carrot. Lydia, being Lydia, picked it right up and ate some of it too! HA! Lillian first noticed that Lydia got exactly what she asked the Easter Bunny for- a new Hello Kitty bike!

Normally, we just do little gifts, but poor Lydia needed a new bike. She has all of Lillian's hand me downs. And Danielle, this is for you...Can you believe we still have the twins old bike? Lillian and Lydia both learned on that bike! Brings back good memeories of Fort Riley! Now, it was time to let Lydia have a new one for Spring!

Lillian loved her basket too and was so happy for Lydia! I was wondering if she would feel left out, but she was so excited for her. Lillian got gift cards and items for her ITouch. Daddy and Lillian are waiting for me to finish this blog update, so they can get to shopping!

We managed to make it to church on time too which is a miracle. We went with two pen marks on Lydia's Easter Dress and salsa splashed all over my Easter shirt. Keeping with the Martin tradition!

Well, off to make Easter dinner! Everyone will be here at 4:00pm for Egg Races, Easter Bingo, Guess how many, Follow the Leader Egg Style and FOOD! Happy Easter!

Love you all!
