Jesus is Alive party!

My friend didn't actually name it that, but I loved her banner and focal point for this fun gathering on our 1st weekday of spring break!
 My girls were absolutely thrilled for their first egg hunt, as well as being pretty inseparable from their baskets prior to the party.
 It was a sweet time of fellowship with some sweet mama friends.
 Of course there were some treats...
 We think Abby Jane resembles her Aunt Betsy here...
 Then the hunt began.  Abby Jane and Blythe loaded up.
Joy, on the other hand, just got a few eggs and hunkered down with opening them. She needed much coaxing to continue to hunt and delay any gratification.
 Miss Ericka reading to Blythe some of the strips of paper included in her special prize egg: "Jesus is alive!" "The tomb is empty!"
 We thought that if we parked all the kids and their baskets, they'd be so busy with their baskets that we could get a decent picture. No dice. They were all pretty much done for by now. At least all the warm bodies under the age of four were accounted for.
This was the first day of many this week that the girls have needed a bath before their afternoon naps after a fun morning! Spring break makes me so excited for summer!
