Easter: aka the best wknd I've had in a while

Oh Easter Weekend, you beautiful couple of days- with your warm sunshine, family gatherings and celebration of a risen lord.

How I loved you!

This Easter was truly a great time! I took the day off from work because my mom and dad were coming to Kansas City for a quick visit. They hadn't seen Keeton in about 3 weeks and he had changed a bunch even in that short time. Pop proved to be MVP this wknd as far as Keet was concerned. He laughed and smiled at everything Pop did. My mom thought it was because of Pop's hat but she tried to put it on and Keeton would just look at her dead pan. HAHA!

side note:

Mom, I know you are going to hate this pic of you. But I just couldn't resist that face of Keet's.

On Friday we went shopping and running around the whole day and Keeton was so good. He's very go with the flow. He didn't even mind driving when we got tired.

My parents left early Saturday and Jason and I decided Keeton needed his picture made with the Easter bunny. We went to the mall and the line was INSANE. Each one of us at different times would try to talk the other out of waiting. But in the end we decided that this was just what parents have to do sometimes and we stuck it out for the hour. Keeton slept in his stroller the whole wait till close to the end and when we woke him he seemed to be in a good mood. hmmm...with one more baby in front of us Keeton got really fussy and then SPIT UP on himself. Great! Another joy of Parenthood. He didn't like sitting in that bunny's lap but we got a decent pic of him. (I actually love the pics of kids crying though)

After that, we decided to get outside and enjoy the beautiful weather at the park. It was WONDERFUL! I can't wait until Keeton is old enough to be pushed in a swing and slide down the slide. BUT, I'm not wishing our lives away because I love every second of him now.

On Easter Sunday, Jason and I went to Church of the Resurrection with Patti, Kristin and Aaron and their kids. Again, Keeton did great. He slept the whole service and didn't make a peep (except to pass gass-oh geez)

After church, we went to Patti's to eat lunch. We did an Easter egg hunt with my niece and nephew (so cute) and played Wii. It was very relaxing and I didn't take a moment for granted.

I am grateful for Jason and my son. I am blessed with family. I am so thankful for Jesus' victory over death so that we could have ETERNAL LIFE!

Happy Easter!
