Easter Sunday!

It's amazing how "early" is so relative. I used to think church was early. But since Lucy won't let us sleep in anymore, we had time before the 10:30 service for a leisurely breakfast and a nap before getting dressed and ready for pictures before church. We had to show off our cute matching outfits (that I finished 10pm the night before - ha!).

Not feeling the bow.

That's better!

And there's the whole family. 

We are taking a middle of the road approach to Easter, much like Christmas. We will focus on what is important and won't really be "doing" Santa or the Easter bunny but she will still get presents, she'll just know they are from us. 

This year though, I was a little slow and her main present, the Jesus Storybook Bible, hadn't arrived yet so she only got a stuffed bunny.  

At first, she wasn't sure what was going on but she quickly realized it was a good thing.

All the chocolate you see there was her to hand out but for us to eat. I might feel guilty giving her a basket of candy for myself but she didn't know what she was missing out on and enjoyed the process of emptying the basket.

Even though she had a nap before church, the excitement must have worn her out since she fell asleep just a few minutes after church began and didn't wake up until we were walking back from communion. (Yes, just call me super mom. My special powers include carrying 18lbs of dead weight baby in heels, kneeling at the alter with her and not even spilling a drop of wine.) We finished the day with a big meal and an afternoon of hanging out around the house - the best way to spend a holiday if you ask me.
