Easter In Germany

So here is the scoop on our Easter. We spent our day at church and with Family.
Jared and I set up the baskets for the girls and ourselves. We got new dresses (family tradition), a minimal amount of candy (hence the small baskets), and new books. Jared and I are really into buying nice and clean tv shows. Jared loves Fresh-Prince of Bel-Air, so I got him the first season. I got wonderful candy.
Daddy led the girls to see what the Easter Bunny brought.
I loved seeing the girls' excitement over the candy and other gifts. I have to admit the chocolate was the biggest hit. You can that both have some in their hands.
Dad got new Easter shoes, because he desperately needed them. We have a family tradition of new Easter dresses each year. It started with my Grandma and has been carried down the generations. I just don't make them. Buying them is faster and easier than making them.
Grandpa Dautel got very creative with Alicia's headband. She refuses to keep it on and the Dautels fully support this. I am fighting a one-man battle.
After church we went over to Gma and Gpa Dautel's house for an Easter Egg hunt. Anne loved looking for each item and bringing them to Aunt Rike one at a time.
Alicia really enjoyed the Hunt too. You can see all her toys behind her here. They loved the bubbles.
Uncle Richy was so good to blow bubbles (or soap balloons as he called them. He has been a bit out of touch with these things the last couple years) with the girls. I love Alicia's face in this one.

It looks like you guys had a great holiday. It must be nice to have so much family around when you're in another country.

Looks like you all had so much fun. The girls are darling in their dresses. Oh, and we love Fresh Prince also!

Your easter sounds much more fun than ours was. The easter bunny didn't even visit us! Cute dresses, I wouldn't make them either. I don't have the talent for that. I am sure you could do it!
