Elina Turns 2 and Easter

This year Easter was on Elina's birthday.  It's a good thing that she's only 2 and didn't care that it was her birthday and Easter were the same day.

In the morning the kids were up and checking out what the Easter bunny had brought.  Emma is usually the one to sleep in, but when it comes to holiday's she can hardly contain her excitement and is the first one up.

The kids had presents from mom & dad, a present from grandma Bringhurst, and candy, play dough, books, and presents from the Easter bunny.  They were in heaven. 

The girls got new dresses for church and Ashton got new pants (that were way to big) and a new church shirt.  I love the girls dresses.

All dressed for church

Later that night we sang again to Elina and served cake and ice cream and let her open presents.  Elina is such a fun little girl.  She is so loving (gives kisses and hugs so willingly).  She is a great talker, and has an infectious smile and laugh.

 Elina so excited we are singing to her

Happy Birthday Elina!!!  We hope you had a great day.  We love you so much and are so glad that you are a part of our family!

It's so nice when kids don't worry about sharing a birthday with someone or something else. The girls are darling in their matching dresses and Ashton looks so grown up in his shirt and tie!
