Easter

I remember last Easter so well! Elijah and I returned home from a trip to Iowa with Grandma Meg. Daddy had Easter baskets all ready to go for Elijah, me and Meg! It is hard to believe how much our little guy has changed in that year!

This Easter it was just Elijah and I. We had a wonderful weekend! On Saturday, the Henningers invited us to eat breakfast at the Highway Diner and then go to Sunset Park for an Easter egg "hunt." It was so much fun and Elijah was a kill! The pictures that follow will hopefully tell the story! Sorry for the overload but it really is a story in pictures.  The one thing that will be left out is our ride on the carousel...Elijah's first! He was a little unsure but in the end I think he enjoyed it! 

"Look mom!  The Easter Bunny!"

Yikes -- he's kind of scary...running back to you now!

And the egg hunt begins...hmmm..a couple steps onto the grass and I'm taking it all in...what are all of these kids doing?

This little girl is a friend of the Henningers and she was showing me how it was done!  "See...you pick them up..."

"and put them in."

Cool.  Now that you've collected them all for me...guess I'll sit down and dump them all out!

Oh...more.  Thanks!

Soooooo cute!

Dumping them again...how frustrated she must be getting. :-)

My sweet, sweet boy! 

And then this became the entertainment! 

Ohhh what a fun morning! 

Easter morning was fun as well.  The Easter bunny hid eggs and Elijah had lots of fun finding them, opening them, and eating the raisins that were left inside.

After our egg hunt, we had oatmeal for breakfast.  Enough said!

We then took a bath and got dressed in a nice Easter outfit...

Noah Taylor came over for a visit later in the morning while his mommy and daddy took his new brother, Luke, in for a check. By the way, our good friends, Matt and Olivia, welcomed Luke about 2 weeks ago. He is a very precious little guy! We then joined them at their house for Easter dinner with Matt's parents and brother. We had a yummy meal compliments of Honey Baked Ham and Matt's mom. Elijah thoroughly enjoyed it! We are so blessed to have the Taylors in our lives!

It was a little warm out so we had an outfit change before we went to Matt and Olivia's.  After his nap he was goofy and cute...not sure why he is always sticking his finger in his nose...probably learned it from his daddy!

It was a happy, happy day and weekend!  We are blessed in so many ways!
