Easter 2011

Easter 2011 was amazing. To start off the weekend, Gary had a Blastball game. Nana, Granny, Oma, and Opa all came down to see it. Gary is loving it so much. He is going to be our baseball player for sure. Afterwards we were able to all hang out and watch movies. For dinner, Ross charcoaled burgers and hot dogs. Yummy! And just in time...we had a major storm move through about 7:30. But that did not stop us from dying Easter eggs. This is the first year that Gary was really able to get into it and he loved mixing the colors!

Then Sunday.... although we all really wanted to go to church, it is hard for me to sit in a church pew for any length of time, so we decided to not try. We did sit down and talk with Gary about why we celebrate Easter...and his response was, "because Jesus is alive again." It is amazing how much faith he has. I wish we all were able to keep our childlike faith. It is so pure! Anyway, Papa, Uncle Heath, and Aunt Brenden all made their way to our house for Easter lunch. We were also joined by some very dear friends, the Jacksons. We had an amazing dinner, cooked by many hands, and some very yummy deserts.

Of course, then came the Easter egg hunt. Mayson and Gary had a blast. I think my favorite part was them realized that the real eggs did not have anything in them. So every time they found the real egg, they would toss it to the side and try and find the plastic eggs. TOO FUNNY!

With storms last night, that pretty much capped off our last Easter as a family of three. I cannot believe that Gillian will be here in less than week. Words cannot tell you how excited we all are to see her. The whole family is coming in again on Sunday night to be here on Monday when she is born.

Let the countdown begin...
