Easter

We had a really nice Easter this year. Last year, Maddie and I were away from Gabe because he had blocks to study for, so this is the first year we have spent it together as a family. We got up on Sunday morning and got all ready for church, but when we pulled up to church it was completely packed!! We had to park way down the road and once we got up to the building there were people all outside the door. Needless to say we never made it in. Gabe stood by the door and tried to listen in while I chased Maddie around the church grounds. Our child never meets a stranger. She goes up to anyone and wants to “chat” with them or share a drink and snack with. I guess we had good intentions of going to church as a family on Easter Sunday, but oh well, maybe next year!

Once we got home, we finished getting ready for Easter dinner. We had a house full and loved every minute of it. Mimi, Natalie, Ryan, Carter, Ryan’s parents, brother, and grandparents and even our cousin Lauren drove down from Charlotte to spend the day with us! We had a delicious meal and dessert! I was so stuffed from everything that I could barely eat breakfast this morning! Then the Easter bunny delivered Maddie’s baskets (yes I said baskets) They came from all over, including Tennessee and Georgetown! She had lots of goodies to sort through…it was like Christmas all over again. Maddie also discovered Starburst Jellybeans and every chance she got she stuffed a few in her mouth. She LOVED THEM! So thank you to all her wonderful little bunnies that contributed to her wonderful Easter!

After we finished going through all of the baskets, we all headed outside to hunt for eggs! It was so much fun to watch Maddie get excited when she found eggs. We only had to show her one time what she was supposed to do. Before long her basket was filled up! Us big kids also had a good time searching for the harder-to-find eggs. Daddy did a good job hiding them, because I am still finding eggs today.

Let the hunting begin…
