happy easter!

we made a bunny cake! it was really cute.
too sweet for me, but we all enjoyed looking at it and starting a new easter family tradition. my sister also shared some really neat "resurrection eggs" that she found. we didn't get these in time this year but are looking forward to using them next year. check out this link for more info:
what an informative and fun way to share the meaning of easter with your children!


the easter bunny brought a few goodies ... a wind up chick, a slinky, some bubbles, some chocolate covered pretzels (that bunny knew that was the extent of henry's "candy eating," ha ha), and a book about the story of and reason for easter.

let the egg hunt begin! the easter bunny also hid a few eggs for henry to find out in our back yard. it took a little longer for him to find the eggs since he isn't walking on his own and is still a little wobbly, but he seemed to enjoy it.

he didn't seem overly excited abut the $1 for his piggy bank, but I assured him that one day he will ...


found another one in mamaw's lilies!
he seemed most excited about putting the eggs in the basket. he didn't really care about opening them.

egg spotted ...
... the reach ...
... the eating of the egg!


all done egg hunting and on to being a ham ... then it was on to being whiny and tired and ready to take a nap. hope you all had a wonderful Easter and enjoyed this gorgeous weather on this most special day!
"I want to know Christ and the power of his resurrection and the fellowship of sharing in his sufferings, becoming like him in his death, and so, somehow, to attain to the resurrection from the dead. Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me."
Phillipians 3:10-12
