Happy Easter!

We had a great Easter weekend! I love Easter. I love celebrating our risen Savior....I love spending time with family....I love enjoying the Spring weather.....I love being reminded of new life, forgiveness and hope.....I love Easter!

Matt was off from work on both Friday and Saturday, so we had a lot of family time. We started the weekend by planting a new flower garden! It turned out beautiful! We planted my favorites--hydrangeas--as well as knock out roses, impatients, salvia, and marigolds. On Saturday we celebrated one of Will's best friends--Carter--by going to his first birthday party at the park. Then, since Matt had to work Easter morning, we went to church on Saturday night. It was a little strange celebrating Easter on Saturday, but the service was great and it was nice to have plenty of parking and not fight the crowd. Most of all, we were happy to celebrate Easter as a family. It also turned out that Matt's mom was able to visit us for the holiday! She drove to Dallas on Saturday night, and was able to stay and visit for a few days. Will  loved spending time with his Mimi!! Here are some pictures from Easter Sunday...
The Easter Bunny came!

Playing in front of the new flower garden!


Will loved the toy cars...


And the bunny...

And the bubbles...

And even his bunny sippy cup!
 Somebody else loved the bubbles!





The best family photo we could get. He absolutely had. to. have. the car in the picture or he would fall apart. It was also funny to not have on our "Easter best" since we went to church the night before!

MiMi!!


What weekend would be complete without swinging in the front yard?! Will is starting to point at EVERYTHING!


Easter dinner--steak, WeeWee's mac & cheese, strawberry salad. YUM!
I hope everyone had a great weekend celebrating Easter! He is risen, indeed! :)

  1. Yeah! So fun to read your posts. Need to get on the phone with you to gab. I miss your voice and there was a mom at Tball last night that talked so similar to you it was weirding me out! We are skipping that wedding in Dallas and I need to figure out how Baby Wilson is going to get his next round of clothes bins. Love you friend.
