But then my mom made up for it by coming over to deliver us some Easter goodies and she fed Audrie a chocolate marshmallow bunny... now THAT says Easter!
Of course Audrie loved it! 
I was really looking forward to Easter this year because Audrie is starting to get just old enough to have fun at holidays. So like a good mommy- I hid her Easter basket for her to find this morning!
She found it and loved all the goodies inside!
I got her a few little books at the Christian book store about the true reason for Easter and the gift Christ gave us all.
Not any deep theology, but she liked them!
"What, Mom? No candy?!"
My mom also got her an Easter hat which Audrie loves putting on her head... but only for a quick second so the pics I got of her in the hat are a little blurry.
Easter Sunday was SO rainy and dreary. But luckily Audrie has an adorable rain jacket that brightened things up! (Jamie is trying to show Audrie how to use the pinwheel here... she really just wants to eat it.)
Audrie's Easter outfit... complete with turquoise jelly shoes!
Our little family.
We went to church with Jamie's family and then had a big Easter dinner with the family in the church's reception hall.
Of course Audrie loved it!

Our little family.We went to church with Jamie's family and then had a big Easter dinner with the family in the church's reception hall. Feeding the babies first.
Dylan is getting to be such a grown up little boy! 
And of course Jamie's family has to play a few games at any gathering.
Donna competes in a serious game of Mad Gab...
It was nice to be able to use the church nursery to let the babies play after lunch.
Look at this cutey! Jess will be turning one in June.
Audrie and Dylan cooking up something good... 
Kameron is quite the babysitter!
But nothing compared to my nanny...!! :)
Happy Easter, everyone! Hope you spent time with loved ones and ate too many jelly beans. 
Oh wait... I almost forgot to tell you the best part! So when we got to the reception hall for lunch- Jamie dropped Audrie and I off at the door so we would be out of the rain and then he went and parked the car. We were inside with his family for about 3 and half hours. When we were leaving Jamie went to get the car for us... and discovered that HE HAD LEFT THE CAR RUNNING! So for over 3 hours our car was running in the parking lot. Also the heater was on FULL blast so the inside of the car was smoking hot and we had to open the windows to cool off. (And, yes, luckily we still had gas left in the car.) Hilarious.
