Rhodes' first Easter!!

I love Easter!  There is nothing like going to church on Easter morning - huge crowds and all - and celebrating this huge holiday!  This was an especially happy Easter for us - with both of our little girls with us - and Rhodes' first Easter!  Here are some pictures from our day!

The Easter bunny came! (and, I might say went a little overboard!  I think he/she forgot what all he/she had gotten and it ended up being a little more than expected!)  I'm hoping the Easter bunny will come back and get all of the candy to give to more children next year - Ali wants to eat m&ms for breakfast, lunch and dinner - not happening! :)

M&M egg!  Yippee! 
A Cinderella dress!
Rhodes hanging out with her FIRST Easter basket!


Lunch at the club after church!  Ali checking out the Easter basket that the Easter bunny brought to Mimi and Papa's....
And Rhodes checking out hers.... She especially loved her singing/dancing bunny!  She was such an angel during the entire lunch and stayed entertained with all of her goodies!
Yummy!  Ice cream to add to the sugar high!
Hello sweet girl!
Some photos with the Easter Bunny

We love this guy...


Hanging out in our backyard enjoying the beautiful Easter day! Rhodes is just starting to really sit up (and not fall over after a minute or two) - I LOVE this stage! :)

Ali loves the Easter baskets
Trying to crawl?
Look at me stand!
Daddy and his little girls!  Rhodes wants everything in her hands/her mouth - going after her big sis' sippy cup!  (Not a good idea, Rhodes!)


We felt especially blessed this beautiful Easter day!!  Christ the Lord is risen today - Allelujah! (my favorite Easter song)  Happy Easter!
