Easter

Can you believe Easter is this week? Easter is one of my favorite holidays. It is a weekend full of family traditions. 

Mine and Kodys’ families are pretty elaborate when it comes to Easter. Easter weekend is spent riding ATV's, eating dutch oven, and of course the annual egg hunts.

The Lemon’s and Smith’s are competitive people. So, we can’t do the traditional Easter egg hunts. Our families have to add a competitive edge to the hunts. What makes people extremely competitive? Money.. Yes, that’s right, the Easter Bunny puts money in plastic eggs and hides them outside. To make the hunt difficult, we are all given flashlights and have to find the eggs in the dark. It is literally a rat race between the siblings. When all the eggs are collected, everyone adds up their loot to determine who the winner is. We all go home a little richer then we came, but one person definitely comes out the winner.

Along with the event filled weekend, my mom would always buy my sisters and I an Easter Dress. For as long as I can remember, I would wake up to a new dress on Easter Sunday. This is one of my favorite memories. So of course, I had to continue it with Ellie (and me;).

This flutter sleeve wrap dress from Bohme is the perfect Easter dress. The pastel blue just screams Spring. The only decision I had while buying it, was deciding what color I wanted. It comes in this pastel blue, rose pink, and cream. 

Shopping for an Easter dress for Ellie was honestly a dream come true. I am so glad I had a baby girl! She is so much fun to shop for! Grandma Pam (Kody’s mom) and I found this dress at Janie and Jack. After seeing it, we couldn’t pass it up.  We are so glad we purchased it, because look how pretty she looks!

I am so excited for this Easter weekend. Kodys’ and my family are coming to St. George. It will be a weekend spent fishing, camping, riding ATV’s, winning the Easter egg hunt, and of course eating yummy food!
