Easter has always been a big deal in my family. I have grown up in the church, and I have spent my whole life looking forward to this special Sunday each year where everyone seems to gain a fresh outlook on their faith. I love everything about Easter weekend--the special church services, the songs that we always sing, the big, delicious meal...even the secular traditions like egg hunting, the Easter Bunny, and Easter baskets. I remember hunting eggs in our yard as a kid, and I couldn't wait until I had the opportunity to do this with Lainey. We finally had the opportunity this year with our new house! The Easter Bunny came and hid eggs while she was napping, and we headed to the backyard when she woke up. (And yes, you will notice my child in long pants and a turtleneck--ah the joys of living in Nebraska!) She had the absolute time of her life! She ran around and just giggled the whole time! Warning--lots of pictures next...
We were bad and just laughed and laughed at her trying to get this egg. I think Nana eventually helped her out!
The next pictures are from Easter Sunday. It was still cold today, but we dealt with it for cute pictures, ha! I couldn't decide exactly what she was going to wear today, but my decision was made when I came across a picture of me on Easter when I was three. I was wearing a pink dress and pink shoes, so we only thought it appropriate that she should wear the same!
Happy Easter!!
