Easters Past: Flashback WW

Filed Under: Kids Posts Tagged With: , , ,

Spring is finally upon us as far as the actual calendar is concerned.  This upcoming weekend is Easter Sunday for all Christians.  We are truly not all that religious.  Well, I was raised Catholic and did go to Catholic school and Kevin was raised Irish/Catholic going to church every weekend, but somehow together we are not the type to go to church every Sunday, but we do have our beliefs.

Our families did raise us to celebrate the major religious holidays and Easter is definitely high up on that list.  With two little kids though, we have made more about the Easter Bunny and much less about religious aspects right now.

My girls, of course, have gotten easter baskets, treats and have even dressed up to celebrate the days with our families.  So this being another Wednesday and featuring more flashback photos, I thought this week it was only appropriate to share with you some photos from past Easters with the girls.  So sit back once again and enjoy!!

Easter 2010

Easter 2010

Above was the very first Easter that we celebrated with Emma.  She wasn’t more than 9 months old at the time and couldn’t resist that flower laden hat, because Emma was pretty much bald and was also just too excited to dress her up from head to toe!!  The basket picture was from her grandparents and couldn’t locate our basket pictures for some reason.  And by the way, Lily was in the second picture, but was only weeks old (hint I was newly pregnant with her!!).

And then there were two.  This was Emma’s second Easter and Lily’s first.  “The Easter Bunny” had a field day with stuffing their baskets.  And yes I still carried over the dress up theme for both girls now!!

Easter 2012

Easter 2012

Last year, I know I had separate pictures of each of the girls at some point, but for the most part the two were inseparable by this point and the pictures I had were of the two of them together were by far the best. And yes I started the trend last year of dressing them in the same exact dresses.  So, I guess I played into the twins question a bit, but then again you can clearly see that Emma is a bit taller then Lily here.  And the baskets were once again over flowing!!


Well, Happy almost Easter to all if you do celebrate.  Have a wonderful holiday and be sure to check out my 1 Snap a Day Picture this Sunday, where I am sure to post up the latest Easter picture/s of the girls!!  For more Easter fun filled activities, click here.

    They are so adorable. I love the matching dresses so colorful . I had all boys, so while they were cute in their little suits I so missed having a girl to fluff up and get all frilly and girly with.

    • Janine Huldie says

      Thanks Angel and I am not going to lie I love having girls for the dressing up part. Yes, I loved dressing up as a kid and there is something so fun about dressing up two little girls (when they don't fight me on it, lol!!).

  4. Dani Ryan says

    So cute!! I can't wait until my daughter is old enough to enjoy Easter egg hunts!!!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Thanks Dani and I think this is the first year that both will really enjoy it together. Last year Emma finally was old enough to have a blast and this year Lily is finally catching up!! 🙂

  5. Susan Zutautas says

    I miss the Easter egg hunts. I wonder if I do one this year if my boys would participate. Hmm, I may just do it 🙂
    Loved seeing your girls dressed up and I think that hat is so darn cute!
    Happy Easter to you and your family.

  6. Meredith says

    Janine, I always say this, but you have absolute dolls! What great pictures, adorable baskets and a beautiful mama! Happy Easter, my friend!

  7. Motherhoodisanart.co says

    So cute Janine! I love dressing my kids up too…I know the time is limited with getting away with cute dresses and little suits…pretty soon they will be wearing jeans and t-shirts for Easter!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Thanks Erin and I admit dressing them up is fun, but the whining and complaining while we do it not so much, lol!! (The pictures don't show that!!)

  9. Cyndi says

    Aww…I love those dresses! Easter was a big deal with my Catholic family growing up. I loved getting stuffed easter bunnies and baskets. 😀 How sweet they are! Wonderful WW post!

    • Janine Huldie says

      Same here and it was pretty big to get dressed up for Easter being Catholic, too. So, of course, I have to dress up my girls also!! Thanks as always for another wonderful WW linkup!! 🙂

  10. The Next Step says

    It's quite possible the best thing about celebrating Easter is the cute hats and dresses for little girls. 🙂

    • Janine Huldie says

      Thanks Sarah and we must have just been channeling each other, because I literally just commented on you post not even two minutes ago, lol!! 🙂

  13. Bill says

    Great pics! Easter is a great holiday for kids…..but, if you aren't religious and have no little kids, it's just another Sunday. 🙂

  14. Janine Huldie says

    Thanks Kelly and I too love making up the baskets, plus the extra candy in the house doesn't hurt, lol!! Hope you have a very, Happy Easter this year!! 🙂

  15. Janine Huldie says

    Lol, I don't think we ever outgrow the candy. Seriously, if it is in my house I want to eat it all!! You should totally do a flashback post for Easter and would love to see your girls, Heather 🙂 🙂

  16. Lanaya @ Raising Rea says

    OMG … you are going to die! Reagan has the same Easter basket … right down to the pink polka dots and green writing…She also has the other Easter basket … except hers is a butterfly.

    We must have both gotten them from Personalized Creations or something like that. I got mine last year. I am putting her basket together tonight for my Thursday post 🙂 So funny!!!

    • Janine Huldie says

      I love it Lanaya and that is exactly where I ordered those baskets. Seriously love how you and I think alike, because if it had to be anyone so glad it is you!! Cannot wait to see your Easter post now!! 🙂 xoxo!!!

  18. Stephanie Sprenger says

    Oh, i LOVE those photos! You have the cutest holiday photos ever. It's so fun to look at them next to each other and see how the girls have grown.

    • Janine Huldie says

      Thanks so much Stephanie and I remember hearing my grandmother talk of how she loved to take photos all the time when she was first married and then when she first had my mom. She took pictures pretty much all the time and know I completely understand why. Totally love that I have all these memories and so much to look back on!! 🙂

  21. Ruchira says

    wow…i wonder how they will look in 2013 on coming sunday while celebrating ester.

  22. Angela McKeown @Momo says
