Easter 2015

Easter this year was a reminder of Easter last year, when we were only weeks away from Gwen's arrival.  It is so crazy how fast time passes, and it is hard to remember not being a family of four.  This year went much like last year... An egg hunt hosted by our wonderful city with the requisite bounce houses for the kids, church Easter morning and a visit from the Easter bunny.  Oh, and Kevin and I installed a shower door together with some help from Stephanie and minimal disruption from Gwendolyn. Admittedly, that is not generally a part of what we do on Easter, but I had to mention it because it was a big accomplishment and turned out to be a family affair.  Gwendolyn can pull herself into a standing position, but isn't big on moving from that position or setting herself back down, so she spent the part of the day she didn't spend napping standing and holding onto a bead maze watching the shower door action unfold in the bathroom, while Stephanie kept herself busy, sometimes helping us, sometimes frustrating us, sometimes entertaining her sister, sometimes entertaining herself.  Would it have been easier without kids in the mix?  Sure it would have... but then it wouldn't have been worth mentioning on the blog, and I am pretty excited to brag on our shower door install.

Daddy made me wear the basket as a hat. Everyone thought it was so funny, but really, I kind of rocked the look.  

Stephanie wouldn't sit with the Easter bunny, but she happily volunteered Gwen.  We took pictures and removed Gwen from his lap before she even knew what was happening!

Proof that it did warm up at least a bit!

The Easter Bunny made his way to our house while we were at church!

Buzzy Bee is just as happy as ever to be included.  Look at that smile, it is no wonder she loves him!

And the end result of our labor!  AND Alaina will not have to share the guest bed with the shower door next week when she visits, which I am sure she appreciates!
