Easter Celebrations!

I was very excited to dress up two little girls in Easter dresses this year. One girl is fun, but TWO girls is even better! We actually had two Easter celebrations the week before actual Easter due to family being out of town. So Bella got to participate in many Easter egg hunts, lucky girl. :) 

We went to Grandpa and Grandma De Haan's for lunch and Bella had her second egg hunt of the year afterwards! (The first one was the one held in town.:))

She got the first of many yummy candies- note Gracie found something better to chew on, a lovely piece of paper!

Searching for eggs all over!

We also celebrated Grandpa Ralph's birthday, which was later that week. Here he is with the two little ladies. :) Gracie was intrigued by the candle!

That evening, I took some pictures of the girls outside in their matching dresses. 

                                      
Couldn't get the little one to smile, but big sister cooperated!

They're cute anyway though. :) 

We then headed to Grandpa and Grandma Huyser's house to have an Easter egg hunt with her Huyser cousins. Gracie spent some time chilling with a death grip on the bench!

Bella decided to blow some bubbles, which Grace enjoyed!

Even if they were blown directly in her face. :)

Opening gifts from Grandpa Doug and Grandma Sheri! Again, Grace was more interested in the bag. :)

Bella received a very loved kitten, who was named Cream Puff after her favorite kitty down at the farm. Miraculously enough, she did not yet have an orange kitty in her collection!

Gracie received a little white one named Snowball. Bella definitely tried to swipe that one as hers, claiming that Snowball was Cream Puff's baby. Nice try Bella.

Then they had an Easter egg hunt out on the deck! Bella definitely moved a little slower than her cousins who are more experienced in egg finding. :)

But they left her plenty of eggs to find!

We attempted to take a picture of all the grandkids together- key word was attempted. This position was not working, so we tried putting Grace on Jager's lap- but she pulled an Exorcist girl and twisted her head all the way around to see who was holding her. :) I unfortunately did not get a picture of that! 

The day before Easter, we took pictures of the girls in their Easter dresses so we didn't have to mess with doing that on Easter day. I got a cute one of them together actually- love how Bella holds on to Grace when they are taking pictures. :) 

However, when we took pictures of Bella by herself, the full cheesy smile was brought out. :) Oh well, she still looks adorable! 

Gracie was much easier to get good ones of. :) 

                                     

However, the weather on Easter day was absolutely beautiful, so we were able to take a few more after church! Love those little girlies. :)
