Easter Firsts

I've been meaning to write about this, but we've all been sick, and I just forgot. So here is a little bit about our Easter weekend. We traveled to Seth's parents' house to visit them and the rest of his dad's family. The weather was really nice on Saturday, so we had a little Easter Egg hunt for the girls. They really got excited about it and kept asking if they could hunt for more eggs even after they found all of the eggs that we had. They had great fun dyeing eggs with their Grandma Terry, and amazingly they didn't make a huge mess. The best part was after the eggs dried, they got to put silly faces and hats on the eggs.

Doug and Terry have a "stray" cat (they buy cat food for it, so I guess they consider it theirs now) that gave birth to three kittens in their attic a few weeks ago. Doug brought them down in a box so the girls could see them. They have never seen a kitten in real life before. Savannah was a little scared of them. Emily liked petting them. They were cute little kitties. One was gray and white, another was brown, black, and white tiger striped, and the other one was brown and white, with a brown smudge of fur across her nose. We let the kittens out in the yard for a short while to see if the girls would play with them. They preferred to watch them from a distance, and if a kitten approached Savannah she would yell, "No, go away kitty, go away!" and then she's get really upset, so I told her to run the other way. That helped. I guess she hasn't realized that she's a lot bigger than a kitten, and the kitten is probably afraid of her too.

Easter Sunday we went to church, then had a big family dinner at Seth's granparents' new house. The girls got to play with their three cousins, Kinley, Kyle, and Anna. It was long day. The girls didn't get a nap until we loaded up and began our drive back home--around 4:30pm. It was a fun time, the girls were sad to leave. They love visiting grandparents.
