Eli's First Easter!

We had such a wonderful time celebrating Eli's first Easter! I look forward to taking Eli to Sunday School when he is older, so he can learn why Easter is such a special holiday.

Happy Easter Eli!



Mommy loves you...



Eli had his first visit from the Easter Bunny! We truly had the best time watching Eli look at his goodies the Easter Bunny had left him.

Lulu had a lot of fun going through her Easter basket...

I had a FOUR day weekend on Easter weekend! Schools were closed on Good Friday. G.I.S.D. scheduled for an off day on the school calendar the Monday after Easter as long as we didn't use a "Weather Day."

On Friday I spent the day running errands. As you all know, I LOVE to bake! I decided to wait until I put Eli to bed that night to bake my Easter goodies. One of the desserts I decided to make for the first time was a Fruit Pizza. Usually I am good about reading directions prior to starting a project of any sort (that is the teacher in me!). However, I did not read the directions before making this Fruit Pizza (notice I used the word "project" above--haha). For a dessert I thought looked so simple, it took me a lonnnggg time to make.

It did turn out pretty though... :)

Saturday we went to the Brenner's to celebrate Easter. We had a lovely time! This was the first holiday we spent the day before the holiday in one place and the day of the holiday in one place. It was so nice because we were able to relax and enjoy our visit. :)

Alison and David...



Sure do love my Charlie.... :)



Later that afternoon, Chelsey came by to visit and bought baby Tanner. It is always so much fun to have babies together and see how they interact with one another. :)

Chelsey, Zack, Eli and Tanner...



Tanner got a kick out of Lulu! He would just look at her and crack up! It was the funniest thing ever! I soooo wish I had video footage.

I did get a picture of Tanner laughing...



After a fun day visiting, we headed to Cypress to my parents house. I got Eli ready for bed in his Easter pajamas. I just LOVE these pajamas! They have little bunny feeties and a cottontail on his bottom.

The next morning Eli woke up to a giant surprise! The Easter Bunny left him a HUGE stuffed bunny!



We had the best day talking and laughing with family. :)
