Happy Easter!

He has Risen. He has Risen indeed!!!


Happy Easter to you all! What a FANTASTIC EASTER!!! Our Easter started with attending a wonderful church service. I was excited to have the girls wear their Easter dresses. The girls had a lot of fun playing in the nursery. When we got home the girls went down for a nap and we had to wake them up around 12:45 to head over to my parents for lunch. We had a delicious lunch at my parents. Alysha did a fantastic job eating ham and sweet potatoes. I think the only thing Skylar ate was corn and saltine crackers.....oh well. After lunch the girls opened their gifts from Aunt Sarah and Uncle Chris. Skylar and Alysha each received three books. Thanks Aunt Sarah and Uncle Chris!!
How cute does Gwen, Skylar, and Alysha look in their Easter dresses??
Later in the afternoon my Mom and Dad had an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Alysha loved hunting for the eggs. She wanted to hold all her eggs and did not want to put any in her basket. Skylar on the other hand wanted nothing to do with the Easter egg hunt. She just wanted to walk around. Thanks Papa and Grandma for the girls fun stuff in their Easter baskets!!! The weather was so beautiful! After the Easter egg hunt was completed we spent some time helping the girls play on the swingset.

Fun at McDonalds

For lunch today, the girls and I met my sister and mom at McDonald's in Zeeland. This is not the first time the girls have ate at McDonald's however, this is the first time the girls have been able to play in the playworld. The girls had a great time walking all over and smiling at the other kids. I had a hard time getting Skylar to eat because she was so excited to play. Alysha licking the salt off her fingers! She loves McDonald fries just as much as her mommy!The girls checking out the playworld.
Aunt Sarah helping the girls go down the slide. Aunt Sarah will do anything for "her" girls!!I had two very tired girls by the time we were ready to leave. Skylar resting by Grandma.

Is Scot the next Best Baker??

This afternoon Scot stated out of the blue that he wanted to make cookies. I about fell over when he said he was serious about it. I told him great!! You can use one of the Betty Crocker cookie mixes in the pantry. Here is Scot whipping up his first batch of cookies. After he finished making the cookies out of bag he was explaining to me how that only took 12 minutes and that he should have cookies everyday. I explained to him how it took longer to make homemade cookies from scratch. Scot then decided he was going to make cookies from scratch. It took him a while to pick out the perfect recipe but he selected, World's Best Chocolate Chip Cookies. Skylar and Alysha watching Daddy in the kitchen. Alysha is making sure Dad follows the recipe correctly. Finger licking good!! Before baking time...The results!I must say they tasted REALLY good. The best part, I didn't have to make them. After making the cookies from scratch I think Scot realized how much longer it took.
