Springing into Easter

I love spring time and Easter! I have many wonderful Easter memories from my childhood and I hope I can create some memorable moments for my girls too.

Ben asked if I was making the girl's Easter dresses and I told him no. I have a final to study for and a few other things going on and it never crossed my mind to make dresses. After Ben asked I decided I couldn't make them dresses but I could embellish some simple store bought ones and that is exactly what I did. The dress is from Target. I added the sash with a flower, it ties in the back. I also added the lace at the bottom and made a matching headband. I think it turned out really cute. Emma's dress will look the same except it will have a pink sash with a blue flower and she will have a blue flower barrette. I am thinking of making a flower headband for me or maybe a sash and flower to wear with my new skirt, I will see how I feel after I finish Emma's dress.

We dyed Easter eggs for family home evening last night and all I have to say is Oh My! Emma thought it was OK to use her hands to retrieve the eggs from the dye, she is now very colorful. She also dyed a whole dozen eggs by herself in under 3 minutes...she doesn't mess around. I liked her paper towel when she was finished it was a work of art.

Allison did a great job, she is a pro at Easter eggs since she did them at preschool last week. Lately she is a pro at everything I can tell she is almost five :)

The girls and I planted some wheat grass to use as our tables centerpiece for Easter. It is amazing that after 4 days it looks like this...
