I know I am a bit late to post about Easter Sunday, but I just wanted to put these pics up and write a little about the day, because it was wonderful!
First of all, Stephen gets such a kick out of tricking me. Each year we take turns doing an Easter Basket for the other. Last year was my turn and I got all sorts of goodies- but was too sick (pregnant) to eat any of it. Bummer!! So, With Steve being so super busy this year (a little bit spacey sometimes), on Saturday (day before Easter mind you) he asked who was in charge this year. So I said, "Are you serious? I told you last week it was your turn. Ok, lets just go to the store and get some candy and do it together this year." So we did. But he didn't let us get hardly any treats because he said we might as well wait until they go on sale after Easter. I didn't argue, (though I was secretly upset he wouldn't let me buy any cadburies!) We filled some plastic eggs right there in the living room and he just put the basket next to the couch. The next morning it was in the exact same place. I thought- well, he could have at least hid it! After breakfast he told me I had to start searching for my Easter Basket. Yep, He had indeed hidden a different, very full basket of goodies for me somewhere around the house. I looked and looked and after a very long time became stumped and "gave up." We had to play "Hot and Cold" until he led me to the Costco Box of diapers hidden in our storage area in the kitchen. He had taken some of the diapers out and covered the basket. I am so sure. Like I EVER would have looked THERE!! It was a fun morning and I sure appreciated the surprise effort. Little things like that make me so happy inside.
After a great day at church we went over to our Home away from Home, the Wood's house. They had a little easter egg hunt and then a delicious ham dinner. Thanks Karrie and Jim! You guys are so nice to take care of us while we are away from our families!
We hadn't taken any family photos in a while so we snapped a few before we left....
I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday and could enjoy the beautiful spring season and promises that come with Easter.
