Easter

Easter Eve was spent at your Aunt Sarah's house where you all finally met your sweetie of a cousin, Luke. Afterwards, Uncle Johnny came back to our house where we met Paka, Zsu Zsu, Aunt Aubrey, and Uncle Kiley for a bonfire. Ryan, you were just captivated with the lights from the flame. You both were able to get a nice nap snuggled with Zsu Zsu and Aunt Aubrey.

Typically bedtime routine starts around 9 and we are all asleep by 10. Well, Saturday was a different story. We didn't start bedtime routine until 11:15 - yikes!! You were exhausted Easter morning and slept through your usual 6:30 wake up call all the way until 9:15!!

After a bit of a rushed morning and a quick peek at what the Easter Bunny brought you, it was time for church!

Wiley, you were fascinated by all your new goodies!

Ryan, you liked your new toys too, but you were also very interested in chomping on that thumb of yours!

After church, we all headed back to our house. It was a perfect day - beautiful weather, spent simply hanging out with each other. It was just fabulous.

Your Daddy tried out his new Christmas gift - a turkey fryer! Paka was on standby with the fire extinguisher! Fortunately, there were no flames nor any injuries...just some super tasty turkey!!

Ryan you were quite devastated that you couldn't have any scrumptious cake!

With all the excitement of the day, you both fought naps all day long - you boys didn't want to miss a minute of all the activity around you. After bath-time, Daddy laid you down Ryan for two minutes to change Wiley. I came around to pick you up for your bed-time meal. Yep, you had fallen asleep that quickly. So, I picked you up to wake you up. You were smiling at me while I was talking and sinigng to you. I turned to your Daddy for one minute to tell him something. I looked back at you, yep, snoozing while sitting up! Needless to say, you were both exhausted from such a big day!

Even now, you are both still sleeping, long past your typical nap-times trying to catch up on sleep!

What an incredible weekend celebrating Jesus Christ with our family. I am so thankful that He gave His own life so that we could have eternal life. As I was reflecting on that thought this weekend, it made me realize that is enough. His sacrifice is all we need and yet I look at my family and see how much more He has provided us with. We are so blessed with such a beautiful, loving family and yet are so undeserving of it all. I am so thankful for all that we have. This weekend was just perfection.
