| Ava and Madeline dying eggs |
 |
| Rose making sure her egg is the perfect shade of purple. |
 |
| Even Ella joined in the fun...but only for a minute ...one year-olds are too destructive. |
 |
| Lots of color |
 |
| My favorite...the majestic eggs |
Easter morning, the girls woke us up bright and early eager to hunt for their Easter baskets.
 |
| Ella found her Easter basket |
 |
| She needed a little help from Dad to get it down |
 |
| Madeline found hers behind the couch pillows |
 |
| Ava found hers in the bathroom |
 |
| Rose's was in the oven |
 |
| Sleepy Happy Easter faces! |
We had time to make Resurrection Rolls (they taste like cinnamon rolls) for breakfast before getting ready for mass.
 |
| The marshmallow represents Jesus. Ava is dipping it in melted butter representing embalming oil |
 |
| Then you dip the marshmallow in a mixture of cinnamon and sugar representing the spices used to anoint Jesus' body |
 |
| Lastly, you wrap the covered marshmallow in a crescent roll which represents the cloth Jesus was wrapped in |
 |
| After they are baked, you open the "tomb" and it is empty...representing Jesus rising from the dead |
We went to mass downtown at St. Louis Bertrand. I love that church. It is beautiful inside and we especially love the little grotto off to the side of Our Lady of Lourdes and St. Bernadette. I wish we could go there every Sunday, but it is close to 30 minutes away and there is no cry room (which is a necessity with a loud, fit-throwing one year old!). But I love the tradition of going down there for Easter.

| A family picture in front of church |
 |
| The best picture we were able to get of the girls in their adorable matching pink dresses from Mom and Grandma |
 |
| Love Madeline's smile in this one |
The rest of the day Paul and girls spent outside in the beautiful weather. We finished the day with a
special Easter dinner and a family walk.
