Weekend Wrap-Up!

This weekend was egg-stra special (don't you just love the corniness!) since it was Easter, plus my grandfather's 80th birthday. We were busy, busy, busy getting ready for the party at my mom's house with cleaning on Friday and cooking on Saturday, plus a little planting in the yard at our own house and getting peanut ready for easter! I wish we had taken more pictures, as I didn't get any at the party on Saturday. Rhett was a lot cranky, so I spent most of my time worrying about him. We had fantastic low country boil and birthday cakes under a breezy southern sky, followed by an Easter egg hunt for the kids. Because Rhett was so fussy, he got pushed around in the stroller by my aunt instead of hunting for eggs. :( Maybe next year!

Sunday brought Easter ~ my favorite holiday! I love it because we get to celebrate the Resurrection of Jesus, who proved that he is a living God, still as relevant today as he was all those years ago. It is because of Easter and the evidence of God's Grace, that we have hope for the future. I also love it because the weather is nice, all things are new (clothes included), the flowers are in bloom and families get together without all the stress and fuss of Christmas. My brother and his girlfriend were in town, so we went to church with them and then ate lunch at the local Mexican place (classy, I know!). I had to keep the nursery, so I didn't get all 'gussied' up. Here are some of our pictures:








Oh yeah ~ and the Easter Bunny came a hoppin' our way! Rhett must've been a very good boy b/c he got a basket full of goodies ~ including a 'Bunnytown' DVD, (which is long enough to hold his attention for me to do this post), his very first bible, which is beautifully illustrated, a new bunny named Hoppy and some yogurt melts, which were his favorite thing of all!







All in all, it was a great weekend and a great first Easter for Rhett. I hope to pick up some heavily discounted Easter decorations this week, so I can get those more 'Eastery' next year! Stay tuned to see what I find! Have a great week! :)
