Easter

Well, there was much to celebrate. But most importantly, we were happy to celebrate Jesus being alive! As Joshua was falling asleep last night, I heard him talking a lot, so I turned up his monitor. He was replaying the events of the day. I was a very proud mommy when I heard him repeating over and over again, "He's alive!"

Easter began with a gift from Grandpa Steve and Jayne. Yummy! Chocolate. Joshua didn't hesistate to tell Grandpa Steve later that the candy hurt his tummy. (He ate it really fast and with milk.)

On Saturday we went to an Easter Egg Hunt. There were tons of eggs laying on the ground. Tabitha went through and picked out all the purple ones. She really took no interest in the other colors. Oh, and it must be her favorite color because she also wanted a purple Easter dress.

Joshua was so excited to be gathering the eggs. He was happy to be using his Mickey basket.

There were also a horse and pony. Neither of them was scared to ride. It was fun watching them.

Mommy and Daddy tried to take a picture with them. Here's what we got.

Sunday was our big day. We worked hard for our Easter service at church. There is a picture coming to me of us all dressed up.

After church, we went to my grandmother's house for lunch and another egg hunt. Don't these two look so sweet together!

Tabby didn't have many purple options in Easter Eggs (or dresses as you can tell).

But she did find a princess egg. Once she did, all she wanted to do was find Princess Jasmine (her favorite princess by far).

Joshua had lots of fun looking. Aunt Tammy and Julia did a great job helping him find the hard to reach ones. Also Uncle Keith was so nice to share his eggs with Joshua. He'd set them on the ground when Joshua was looking. The hunted ended only when Mommy made Joshua go in and get something to drink.

Happy Easter!
