Easter at Grammy's

For Easter it's tradition to go to church with Grammy and the girls look forward to it so much. I think Grammy gets pretty excited for it too :)

Night before Easter shenanigans

Grammy cuddles

We let the girls stay up late and even though they weren't acting tired, I knew they were. I swear, my girls would never go to sleep if we didn't put them to bed. Maybe Reese would, she seems to like her sleep. But Bria, she never wants to go to sleep. She will stay up late, playing in bed, and wake up at the crack of dawn. Crazy girl.

Grammy cuddles before bed

The girls went to sleep and about an hour later Bria starts screaming and then Reese starts crying. Bria was having some sort of nightmare and woke Reese up. We could not console Bria or calm her down in the least, so I took her downstairs and laid with her and ended up just sleeping with her. It took a good half hour to get her to calm down. At first I assumed it was a night terror, but nothing was working, even taking her to the bathroom which is usually the fix. Also, she was somewhat coherent. She was able to explain that her body was hurting all over and she felt dizzy. Her head hurt and she couldn't stop her body from being tense. It was really scary. Brian and I were at a loss. We think maybe it was a panic attack of some sort, maybe brought on by moving into a new house just a week prior? I'm not really sure, but it is something I don't want to go through again. She continued to cry out every hour the rest of the night, she wouldn't wake up but she would cry and be inconsolable for a few minutes, then eventually go back to sleep. In the morning she remembered her episode and couldn't offer any more information on exactly what it was. Again, just praying it doesn't happen again. But we were very concerned and the whole next day I spent online trying to figure out what it could've been. Again, panic attack seemed to keep coming up. Also OCD seemed somewhat to fit some of the symptoms. Ugh, where is a manual when you need one?
Despite the eventful night (did I mention Reese woke up with a bloody nose too?), church went well and we had fun.

The girls looked adorable...I loved their dresses (thank you H & M!) and we all coordinated very well. These pictures make their dresses look black and white, but the polka dots are actually navy blue.
