Happy Easter

~BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HAVE NOT SEEN AND HAVE BELIEVED~







I truly love every holiday when that time of year approaches and I love everything that Easter brings us!

This year we went to the Easter egg hunt our church has at Claiborne Park and that night we met at the church to dye eggs, eat pizza & popcorn, and watch a Veggie Tales movie about Easter!

The Russell house was so busy the week before Easter! Starting the Thursday before we took Addi & Ella on a date to see the movie Rio. Both of you girls loved the movie but my sweet Ella Jo fell asleep in mommy's lap before it ended. Alexa celebrated her long weekend by staying with a friend.



Ella Jo at the egg hunt I think you ate your
record in cookies!




Addi Grace you fell in love with this duck!
You have never met an animal you didn't love.



You were so proud of your rainbow face painting!
You felt like you were one of the "big girls"
with your sister.



Addi you are so blessed to have your friends
with you at school, dance, and church!
It is so much fun to watch you girls grow up together!

The egg hunt was so much fun! Addi Grace you jumped and played so much your little face turned red and Ella Jo you would jump and play for a few minutes before enjoying a cookie!! During the egg hunt it was so sweet to watch both of you! At first Addi was trying to pick only the pink or purple eggs but then gave in and grabbed all she could. Ella, it didn't matter to you what color you were picking as long as the eggs had candy in them!! I think you were one of the first children who hunted their 29 eggs!!!

For the first time we went to the church to dye our Easter eggs! We had so much fun with our friends! Each of you brought 12 eggs to dye and they turned out so pretty! Addi Grace, It was so sweet this year to watch you write your name or draw a picture on your eggs before dying them. You couldn't wait to show everyone the eggs that had your name on them! Ella, you preferred using your fingers instead of using the egg spoon to get the colored eggs out. It made your fingers so pretty and blue!!



The Easter bunny came and filled Addi & Ella's baskets.
Because Ella sleeps with Addi in Addi's room the
Easter bunny left their baskets in Addi's room so they
could see their baskets right when they woke up!





The Easter bunny stopped by Alexa's bed to fill her basket also!



While the little girls hunted eggs I had to put
this picture on the blog to show everyone
what our teenager was doing!!



Happy Easter~




















This Easter was so beautiful!
 I know as my angels grow each year they will understand more of what this celebration really stands for!
Thank you Jesus Christ for dying on the cross for my sins!
With all creation I sing, praise to the King of King's...
You are my everything and I will adore You~
