Easter: Part 2 and Gabrie's Birthday: Part 1

The day before Easter we went to our city's Egg Hunt and Gabrie got quite a few eggs and won a prize! They blew the whistle to start and 3 minutes later it was done! Luke and Livvy actually missed it because they were parking the car.


Then we went home and dyed eggs.

Easter morning and Gabrie's 4th Birthday!


Livvy found a few eggs but then she found Gabrie's easter basket and the candy inside! So from this point forward she has candy in her mouth or hand in just about every picture, or she is crying because she doesn't have candy in her mouth or hand!
After the girls found their eggs and baskets, Gabrie got to open her presents, which she had to do while wearing her sunglasses, "stylish" (as she would say except it is typically used when she falls on accident she says "That's called stylish")!
She got a combination of Zhu-Zhu and Fur Real pets and track. She was very excited about everything. Livvy was scared of the "pets" at first but now she loves them too!
After church we went to Grandma and Grandpa Yaya's house for dinner, an egg hunt and more birthday fun!
Parker, Ashlyn and Gabrie waiting to begin!
Livvy wondering what all the fuss was about because she didn't see any candy.
Luke had to help her get started. Then I tried to help her keep going but when one of the eggs she picked up opened and candy spilled out, she was done and just wanted to eat the candy!
Gabrie and Livvy in their Easter skirts I made for them! I don't sew very often but these weren't too hard and luckily I had Jeni here to guide me through it.

I think Gabrie had a great birthday and didn't mind one bit that it was the same day as Easter! At church her primary teachers told me "She isn't allowed to have anymore sugar!" but I told them she had only had 1 piece of candy, she was just so excited all day! So she was ready when bedtime came but insisted she sleep with her new Rapunzel doll from Grandma and Papa Williams.

I've heard that the City's Easter egg hunt is crazy, so I've kind of steared clear of it. Abby is too timid to fight for an egg, but maybe we'll venture over there one year.

Those skirts are super cute, way to go! As I was reading your post and looking at the pictures, I was actually wondering where you bought those skirts at, cause they are so cute. But since you made them, I won't waste my time searching all the stores for one :)
