Cooper's First Easter!

We had a wonderful first Easter with our sweet Cooper! The girls were so precious in their matching dresses. We weren't going to get new Easter clothes this year, but Granny surprised us and I was able to go shopping and find dresses for the girls to match! That is one of my most favorite things about having two girls - I love for them to match! I think probably more than Kendall does...ha!
Sunday morning before we met Randy at church, I got all three of us ready and was able to take a few pictures before we loaded up!













This is one of my favorites - I love the two of them looking at each other! (And I have no idea what is going on with the formatting of this post! Sorry!)







Precious girl! I kept sitting her up on the blanket and she kept getting down and crawling towards me. I think she looks so pretty in blue!










Big sister! She is just looking so old and getting so big!

We decided this year to host dinner with the Sanders and the Mitterlings and Amy - all our friends that didn't have family in town. We planned it for dinner time, so that after church everyone could take the kids home for nap and then they all came over around 5:30. I loved it! It was so nice to have a slow afternoon and then the kids were rested for dinner and the egg hunt! After we ate, the dads went out to hide the eggs and we got the kids ready to hunt. Cooper slept through dinner and the hunt! Here, Holly had gathered all the kids up and was giving them a pep talk about getting the eggs! So funny! They were locked on and so serious about it!
She told them to show their muscles!

Then they did some stretching! :)



And then finally, one last picture before we set them free! Kendall, Caleb, Sarah, Ethan, and Ella. Best friends!


And they're off! They had so much fun hunting in the backyard!






(Sorry you missed out on all this fun, Coop! It sure was nice that you were sleeping, though! Next year!)



Another group picture with their eggs!




Here's a picture of all the girls! Mary, Amy, me, and Holly.

And us! Cooper woke up just in time for a family picture.




We missed being able to see our family on Easter, but we had a great day hanging out with sweet friends and starting new traditions. Happy Easter!!
