Easter Sunday 2011

Our family Easter Sunday :) My sweet little boy is almost 4 years old here! I cannot believe how fast time flies and how big he has gotten. So tall and handsome, and such a sweet little boy. I am so so thankful for my family!


We are lucky that Elem does not wake up early. usually he is the last one to get out of bed, sometimes rolling out of his bed at like 9am! Which is crazy. He loves his sleep just like his mommy!! So, this is a good capture of his morning attitude-even while checking out his stash from the Easter Bunny. haha. The Easter Bunny brought him a CARS sleeping bag and some big boy cups (we are trying to exit the sippy cup phase for good!).


This is more like it. ALl dressed and ready for church. Loving on his "sweet bo bo bear" as he likes to call her. :) Sage and Elem are still BFF although it is obvious she is old and annoyed at times. She still puts up with all his loving and hugs and lets him have his way with her for the most part. He LOVES him some sage. And is happy to share his brand new sleeping bag with her on Easter morning.


Cecilia all dressed up in her pretty dress :) My sweet little girly girl. I love her.


After church we headed over to Aunt Nancy's for an Easter/Pawpaw's Birthday Celebration.


Here are the kids helping to sing happy birthday to their pawpaw. It is amazing how all the grandkids and great grandkids love their pawpaw. He is such a wonderful man, and we are all so thankful for him! This is Seth's mom's dad, and the most popular member of the family with the kids!


Daddy and Elem being silly.


The kids playing in the game room. Every holiday/lunch/birthday celebration that is at Nancy's house -this is where the kids end up. Although the pool sticks are a little dangerous, they are still a hot ticket item in this house! Elem Cecilia and Isla Pearl running around keeping themselves busy.


And of course, Elem taking care of little Nate. This is a typical picture of how we find Elem with Nate. Just touching him and giving him hugs and kisses and lots of love. He is super ready for a baby, but mommy and daddy are NOT!! haha.


This was such a great day, relaxing, and wonderful time spent with family. What I even loved most about this Easter was just how much Elem retained from school about the real reason we celebrate Easter. We talked about it and he told me:

"that Easter is all about Jesus and how he is still alive. And that after Jesus was on the big cross, they put him in a cave, but he didnt die. And he rolled and rolled that big stone rock our of the door and he got out!".

I could not be prouder of my little man. I think that is pretty close and to the point if I do say so myself!
