Happy Easter!!

I love everything about Easter. The festivities, the season, the food, and the purpose behind all of it--to celebrate our salvation though our Savior.
This year (Brett and I's first Easter as a married couple) we decided to start our celebrations with some Easter egg dying with Andrew and Emma. Here are some of our lovely creations:

Brett and Andrew set everything up for us.

A two car household




We bought another car!!!! We have survived our first year of marriage owning only one. Seeing as we don't live near a metro station, I think that's quite an accomplishment. We have recently come to the point though, that I think our parents might start charging us every time we want to borrow one of their cars...soooo we finally broke down and bought a second one.
It was quite a process. Brett especially started to point out every car we saw on the road, and ask me if I liked it. Then there was all the online research and reviews, and test driving, and my total lack of decisiveness. Till finally we decided to get one pretty much just like the one we have. I know it may seem silly, but we figured that we have been totally happy with the one we have, it's been a dang good car to us, so why not invest in a slightly newer one? Makes perfect sense. So far we love it.
Yeah for being a two car household!
