Easter 2010

This Easter weekend was much like last year's. Bryan, myself, and Drew had planned on going to the Cross Service at our church on Good Friday, but we had to cancel at the last minute. Last year it was due to Bryan's mom being in a pretty bad car accident, and this year it was due to our baby boy Drew running a 104.4 fever (due to ANOTHER ear infection). Luckily, our church just recently started streaming all services live online so my mom, Bryan, and I got to watch the service from home. It probably didn't have the same impact it would have in person, but it was worth it.

Today, Easter Sunday, our little family along with Nonnie/Poppa and Kaki, skipped Sunday School but made it to our regular Sunday morning service. The message on Good Friday was all about Christ's death, and today's was all about His resurrection and the power of His life.



After the wonderful service, we all made our way to Raven's Grille at Texas Star Golf Club. We go there about once a year as a big family because they have an all-you-can-eat buffet/brunch for special occasions. Of course, Easter is DEFINITELY a special occasion. Drew did really good there, and ate a TON of fruit and flirted with the cute waitress. When it came time to see the Easter bunny, he wasn't all that excited. He stayed right next to me, and every once in a while he'd laugh at the bunny. However, once the bunny reached out his hand for Drew to give him a high 5, Drew wanted NOTHING to do with him. No tears, but there was definitely a death grip on my leg. I'm so bummed none of us had our cameras there for that...maybe next year. I did, however, get a picture of Drew being his silly self. Nonnie showed him that he can see his reflection in a spoon, so all through lunch when someone asked him, "Where's Drew?", he'd scrunch up his face and put the spoon right in front of his nose. It was hilarious.



We made it back to our house after lunch for a quick egg hunt just for Drew. He had one last year inside Nonnie & Poppa's house, but this year was outside and he actually hunted for the eggs! It was so fun!!!













Lastly, we got pictures of our little man with everyone before they had to leave.
We tried to get one of him kissing James (my belly), but he though he had to pull up my dress to do it. That was NOT going to work...especially since we were in the front yard for all the neighbors to see!

Tonight we are heading to my brother's house for dinner and a flashlight Easter egg hunt. I will post pics as soon as I can!

We hope everyone had a WONDERFUL Easter!

He is risen! He is risen, indeed!!
