Happy Easter



Happy Easter everyone!

Easter is one of my favorite holidays....right up there with Christmas. Not because of the egg dyeing rituals or Reeses Peanut Butter eggs or Cadbury Mini-Eggs but because of the meaning of Easter. It is the holiday celebrating the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead & his resurrection symbolizes the eternal life that is granted to all who believe in Him.

I also love that it falls around the same time of year as spring. Everything is starting to bloom, the grass is turning green, the Robin's are out collecting grass for their nests, my allergies are in full effect - ok so maybe I don't love that part but the rest of it is pretty awesome.

Mase is still too little to understand the true meaning of Easter but I can't wait for him to learn all about it in Sunday school. Until that time comes, we will celebrate the Easter Bunny's arrival....

Mase woke up around his usual time of 6:30am. He saw all the eggs laying around & was SO excited to find them all. It was a good thing the Easter Bunny hid them inside because as I looked outside it was raining, which turned to sleet which turned to snow. Hello Mother Nature!!

After Mase found each & every egg he ended up finding his Easter basket. He was SO excited to get Paw Patrol stuff & could have cared less that his basket had his favorite candy in it.

He had fun opening all his eggs, finding more candy & money inside all of them! He & Daddy enjoyed sampling the candy while opening all the eggs also!

 

While they were doing that I made pancakes for breakfast & then we got ready for Easter service at church. My little man looked so handsome in his Easter colored shirt :)

We headed to Easter service & then afterwards we went out for lunch at Fiorella's Jack Stack BBQ - YUM! Had an amazing lunch & then went home for an afternoon spent playing with the new Paw Patrol figures, watching movies & eating chocolate :)

Hope you all enjoyed your Easter with your family or whomever you may have shared it with!
