Easter Sunday





It's hard to beleive that Easter has already come and gone. It seems so early celebrating it in March. I have to say it's always a privlage to attend church, but on Easter and Christmas it always seems to me to be just a little more special. Nursery was super fun with all the kiddos looking extra spiffy in there new Easter attire. I know I don't have to be in there every Sunday, but I have already come to luv these little ones so much I can't leave. It was such a special experience to be apart of teaching these innocent little ones about the resurrection of Christ and telling them the story of the First Easter. Even though they probably didn't understand much, they were so sweet and peaceful, sitting so reverently and listening so intently. It was a great day!

The boys were with there dad this year (boo hoo), so we skipped baskets until after church. Sophie got her basket and just kept saying "oh my gosh" over and over again. I tried so hard to get her to pose for me in her new little Easter dress, but she wouldn't give. I even took her outside thinking she would like it better and she would just shut her eyes. David finally sat her up on the back of one of the chairs in the living room where she couldn't get off and I was able to snap a few. We had the best Easter dinner. We slow cooked a beef brisket (first time for me) and it was super tasty. Sophie took a really long nap so David and I were able to watch "I am Legend" in its entirety without interruption. That was an early b-day present for David and he was aching to watch it all weekend. Other than that, we just enjoyed each others company.
