Easter

We had a terrific Easter celebration yesterday. The true meaning of Easter may be lost on Elise for now, but we enjoyed reading stories of Jesus' life leading up to his resurrection over the last week, and we're reading about after his resurrection this week. So, until she understands, she did learn that Easter is a very special day!

My grandmother sent Elise this dress - she picked it up at a thrift store (thrifting runs deep in my bloodline :)) for play clothes, but it was just too darling not to use for Elise's Easter dress. I got a sash for it from Hobby Lobby and then used the bow from the back of the dress as a hair bow. Pretty crafty, if I do say so myself!

Elise had fun hunting Easter eggs with her friend Nick. Boy did they both devour the candy. Here they are eating and then looking sadly as a piece of candy must have fallen to the ground.
