Happy Easter!

Happy Easter everyone! We hope you had a wonderful day celebrating the resurrection of our Lord Jesus! He is Risen! We had a great day - church, home, Mama's for lunch, home again for naps and a quiet evening around the house. Taylor got her first Easter basket this year. The first thing we bought to put in it was a book called "What is Easter?" that I found at Target over a month ago. I almost started crying in the middle of the store when I read it. Then when I told Nick about it I did tear up. It goes through many of the things associated with Easter, like dying and hunting eggs, new dress/hat/shoes, easter bunny, etc. Then it talks about the REAL meaning of Easter...Jesus dying for our sins and being raised three days later. So that's of course my favorite thing we gave her. She also got a recorder (a.k.a. flutaphone) which she loves and cracks herself up when she blows on it, 2 pieces of candy, a ball, and some animal crackers...random, I know. Then in her basket at my mom's house she got a card, some money for her piggy bank, pink playdough that mama made, a cookie cutter and some stickers. We had a good Easter meal at Mama's with Mama and Neil, and my step-sister and her family, Melanie, David, and Kaitlyn. Mama also made some jello so the girls could do jello jigglers and they turned out cute. Taylor didn't like the taste of it but liked squishing her fingers in it. Oh, I almost forgot, the dress Taylor wore was made by my mom for my older sister when she was 3. Then, I wore it, last year Ella wore it, and this year Taylor wore it. How special!
