the happiest of Easters

 

 

It really was the best Easter I can remember!

 

We got to visit with both of our families, had a scrumptious dinner with Nick’s gourmet chef parents on Friday night, Easter dinner on Saturday with my extended family and a fantastic steak dinner with my parents after Sunday morning church. Perfection!

 

{Yes, my happiness revolves around family and food.}

 

 

Our baby boy even got his first Easter basket this year, complete with the biggest, softest stuffed bunny I’ve ever had my hands on… I hope I don’t have a problem sharing it with him when he gets here, I love it!

 

 

Saturday night we kept with tradition and made these ordinary eggs…

 

…into Easter masterpieces ;)

 

We are no Martha Stewart when it comes to decorating our eggs, but I think you can see from the following pictures that we’re pretty darned serious about it:

 

I never realized what concentration egg decorating must take:

 

My dad’s humor:

 

and one of Nick’s eggs, Baby’s 1st Easter:

 

and this is what my first baby thought of all the egg decorating:

 

I did try to warn everyone that next year would actually be the baby’s first Easter, his first real Easter basket, etc., so that they don’t get confused when we’re celebrating it again next year =) It’s going to be much more fun when he’s here and is definitely something to look forward to!

 

The real kicker for the weekend: just before leaving my parents’ house, we were all sitting around the family room with my mom and I on the same couch. I felt the baby kick a couple of times so I told mom to put her hand where I felt him. Just when we thought it was a loss, he kicked a mighty kick and mom got to feel him!!!! I can’t believe Nick still hasn’t, but we’re trying to rectify that ASAP! It’s all too real when others can feel him too, he is truly a miracle.

P.S. Our baby boy’s name was actually pictured somewhere in this post. Don’t worry if you didn’t catch it, just a couple more days until the reveal!♥♥♥
