Easter 2011

We spent Easter at home this year and it rained ALL WEEKEND LONG!!!  I know April showers bring May flowers, but I feel like we may be sprouting gills and fins soon to adapt!  Forecast says it is supposed to rain for the next 36 hours as well :(  I for one will gladly welcome the sunshine when it decides to reappear!

Yucky weather aside, we had a great Easter weekend spending time as a family and of course remembering the sacrifice that was made for all of us and celebrating the Risen King!

Rain, rain, and more rain....

Wesley's Easter Basket

The Easter bunny came!

He went straight for the eggs - called them 'ball' :)

Looking at all the goodies

Corey and I were both tired of that Monkey car by the end of the day (it made LOTS of noise)!

New puzzle

I tried to get a few pictures of Wesley with his Easter basket after church, but as you all know it can be difficult with a toddler!  I did capture a few good ones:

Family pic :)

Since it rained all day, we had to hunt Easter eggs inside - Wesley didn't seem to mind.  He liked picking up all the eggs and putting them in the basket - then would dump the whole thing out and start over again :)  He also found a new use for his basket!

We spent the rest of the day just lounging around the house in our PJs

And we of course missed all of our family in Little Rock - here are our nephews and niece after hunting eggs at Memaws (where it was nice and sunny!)

And just because it makes my heart happy, here is a side-by-side of Wesley from last Easter and this Easter :)
 

"And Jesus Christ our Lord was shown to be the Son of God when God powerfully raised him from the dead by means of the Holy Spirit. Through Christ, God has given us the privilege and authority to tell Gentiles everywhere what God has done for them, so that they will believe and obey him, bringing glory to his name." ~ Romans 1:4-5
