Katie's spring break began with Good Friday off from school. We had her friend Annie over for a playdate that afternoon and the girls had a fabulous time. Katie had been telling me that she and Annie needed to get together to practice their singing and dancing, so I was ready for an entertaining afternoon. They were very excited to catch the ice cream truck and enjoyed their gigantic popsicles.
After the gigantic popsicles, they were so sticky they had to change into dresses . . . and then they needed to put makeup on (isn't it lovely?) and then they sang and danced for me. It was quite a show!
On Saturday there was an Easter egg hunt at Katie's school. Some of her favorite friends were there, so she was excited to see them.Caroline was in the 0-3 division, which gave her a clear advantage. 
Here Katie and Annie were so intent on creeping forward in their runners' stance that the actually missed the "go" which ws ironic.
It was very windy at the egg hunt and by the end of it the poor Easter bunny had to hold on to its head.
After the hunt, we went to another park to play and have a picnic.
Here, Katie very willingly posed for a photo by some pretty daffodils.
Just as we laid out our blanket and started our picnic, it began to rain. At first we thought it would pass, but then it quickly started to pour, so we dashed to a shelter. Soon we were chilly and the girls and I had to wrap up in our picnic blanket as we finished our lunch.
That afternoon we decorated spring cupcakes (with our neighbor Miranda) for our Easter dessert and the sprinkles were flying!
On Sunday morning we were excited to see what the Easter Bunny had left for us.
Caroline was delighted with her first Barbie doll (she's been asking for one for a month straight).
Katie was thrilled with her new scooter.
And, of course, Caroline was ready to dive into the candy!
She also received a set of play golf clubs.
After our brunch we went to mass.
Right after this photo Katie took a tumble and she went to church with some fresh scrapes on her knees.
After church we had an egg hunt in our backyard.
Katie took off for the far edges of the yard and Caroline grabbed all of the ones from the patio.
Then we kept busy playing outside, while Katie tried out her new scooter.
Then the girls cracked open their new bubbles.
Lily was a huge fan of our Easter dinner and was very attentive while Jamie cut up the ham.
Her patience was rewarded with a giant bone, which kept her busy in the backyard for an hour.
This was an embarassing moment for Lily . . . if you look in the distance past the fence you can see a little bunny rabbit watching her and she never noticed that he was there!
Katie kept very busy with her new electronic password journal and enjoyed borrowing my iPod to try out its speaker feature. She loaded up all her money into its secret compartment and then thing weighed about 5 pounds. The journal's "voice" comes with a British accent and we found it very amusing when Katie asked us what the "Poss-wohd" was!

Both girls were delighted with their things from the Bunny and managed to work in a lot of opportunities to eat candy!
