We have church at 8 am so the Easter Bunny came to our house while we were there and Drake was so excited to come home to see what He left him! He left a Spiderman kick board, play-dough, a pez, and lots of eggs filled with candy and marshmallows. Lydia got a toy and some puffs in her basket. The kids looked so adorable in their Easter outfits. Lydia's dress was so poofy, I loved it!
Our attempt at getting a family picture...
I had my settings all wrong and "the boys" were getting a little annoyed so unfortunately I didn't get any with the kids.
We had Easter dinner with the James' and Gardners, a reoccurring tradition now of 4 years!
It was such a beautiful day! After dinner we had a Easter egg hunt for the kids and then hung out for the rest of the evening outside.
Easter has a very special meaning to our family. It is a celebration that Christ lives. We celebrate His life and understand that because of the Resurrection we are not only able to live with Him again but our sweet Maddie, who we miss very much. She is still very much apart of our lives even though she hasn't physically been with us for 3 1/2 years now. Her name is brought up more and more now that Drake is understanding on a very small scale when we talk, pray and visit her. We celebrate the fact that our family is forever and are reminded of that each Easter.
