In your Easter bonnet

We didn't actually have any Easter bonnets, but did have three pretty girls in pretty new dresses :-)

I am very frugal (read cheap) about this sort of thing. While I always want my girls to have nice dresses, I don't want to pay "Easter dress" prices. So, we watch for clearance sales other times of the year, then I put up the dresses until Easter. Sometimes they choose them or occasionally I will buy one and keep it as a surprise. This worked out in an interesting way for Keegan and Kelsey this year. We found some very pretty blue dresses that matched for Kelsey and Keegan. They loved them! But when I went to put them away, I found that I already had a dress for each of them. Haha. Kind of cuts down on the savings that way....... Anyway, they decided to wear their different dresses for Easter and use the blue ones for regular church clothes.

The girls get to pick a fancy hair style for Easter morning. Sunday morning, Keegan changed her mind and decided she wanted pinned up braids. Well, I had never fixed pinned up braids before, so I really should have nixed that idea. But I didn't. So we spent much longer on Keegan's hair than on Caitlyn's or Kelsey's. But we got t up and it stayed up through church and that was what counted :-). Since then, she was worn it that way a couple of times. I'm getting downright fast and tidy at it now :-).

Caitlyn, on the other hand, had sooo much trouble finding a dress this year. She is in between children's and juniors' sizes and nothing fit her! A few days before Easter, we were still shopping, thinking we would have to take ANYTHING that fit. Then we found this dress that fit and we both really liked it. Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She looked so pretty :).
