Easter

We had a wonderful Easter!! Our church offered an 8am service that day so that guests/newcomers/etc. would have room in our normal 2 morning services. Worked out great for us as Coleman was already up at 7. We got him fed, all had breakfast, dressed, and out the door by quarter 'til 8. We put Coleman in nursery (which before Easter Sunday he hasn't made it through an entire service yet...don't get me started on that one...), but on this wonderful, glorious, Sunday - HE MADE IT!!  And just in the nick of time did we make it back to him to catch his fussy stage right before nap time =) We were thrilled to sit through an entire service together. I'm so glad we got to as well because the message was fantastic and just what I needed to hear that day.

Tuckered out from making it through nursery the whole time!

 
We got home and little man got to open up his Easter basket (not sure how all that will work out yet in the future, bunny - no bunny, etc.) Anywho...he was a little fussy before opening it so that is the reason for the red cheeks and watery eyes. He loved the spoons the best as well as the Easter grass!

My parents came down from Holland and we met up with Justin's parents for lunch. This is where we decided we were going to pay for lunch and announce that we were debt free to them! (So Exciting!). However, as Justin was says "So the reason we wanted you all to come to lunch today..." My mom started getting really excited as she thought we were going to tell her we were expecting baby #2 (and we are NOT by the way). So we had to stop our big announcement to let her know that that indeed was NOT happening at this moment.... sigh.

Then we just enjoyed the beautiful day as a family, relaxed and spent some much needed time outside (as our weather has been rather gloomy lately). My dad took some great family pics as well!

 Everyone is "SO big" in our family!!
