Happy Easter!

Happy Easter my friends!!!

 We've had a wonderful day. It began with Gus seeing what was in his Easter basket, and he checked out Maddie's basket for her too.

 

 

 

We took lots of pictures! MiMi and Big Daddy were here with us to celebrate.

 

 Maddie had such a cute dress that her daddy picked out!

Gus and Maddie love their MiMi!

This is how a picture turns out when someone isn't wanting to cooperate! ;)

 

 After Gus's nap, we hid eggs for him in the backyard. He loved hunting them. He also loved what he found inside- M&M's!

 

 

Maddie really wanted a M&M too :)

 

 

Gus has the most important thing about this day to say to you: Jesus is alive. Our risen Saviour- who makes each day worth living. Thank you Jesus!! 

"Jesus is Alive"

Easter Party

I'm so excited! I got a new computer today!! No more fighting with the old one. This should make it so much easier for me to blog, so you will probably be seeing a lot more from me. 

I thought it would be fun to have a party and invite some moms and Gus's friends over to hunt Easter eggs. I had a very fun time getting ready for the party. 

I had baskets for all the kids:

 

And I made several new recipes I had been wanting to try from Pinterest!

The kids were so great hunting eggs! It was so fun watching them. Since most of them are under 3, they didn't get in too big of a hurry. And then they all opened them to find their goodies. 

 At first Gus just was carrying around his eggs. 

Gus had fun, and I hope all the other kids did too.  The weather was just perfect. I'm thankful for these moms and for these kids for Gus to play with!

Time to Celebrate

What a wonderful day to celebrate the Hope we have in our Savior Jesus Christ!!! Easter was very special for us this year!

We began preparing on Saturday by dyeing eggs. Josh did a great job dyeing them. I added some glitter to a few of them. And then we put together Gus's Easter basket for him to find the next morning.
Sunday morning we headed to church and met my grandparents there.
After church we headed home, took some pictures, and had a delicious lunch.
Then it was time for an Easter egg hunt! Gus was quite a good little hunter once his Daddy showed him what to do.

Having a son of my own has made me even more thankful for the sacrifice God made in sending his Son to save us. God loves us so much! I hope you know how much he loves you!
