Easter

We had such a fun Easter this year with a lot of celebrating. Saturday morning the day before Easter, Korey and I took Madeline and met up with Nana Debbie and the 3 girl cousins; Kylie, Emme, and Addison. There was a great Easter Egg Hunt that we took Maddie to last year as well. This year she remembered everything from the last. She wanted to stay as far away as possible from the Bunny and she enjoyed seeing the big firetruck again. She did a great job in the Easter Egg hunt and had so much fun with her big girls.

That night we celebrated Easter with the McDaniel family at Korey's parents house. The kids colored eggs, had another Easter egg hunt, and we all played some games. We also ate a lot yummy food and cake. It was wonderful for us all to be together and watch the cousins all play and get along so nicely. With Madeline being the youngest and there being a 4 year age gap between the next oldest cousin, you would think she may not fit in. However, she is right there with them all the time, and they all lover and are so sweet to her. We are so lucky.

On Sunday morning we woke up, Maddie found her Easter basket from the bunny (which kind of freaked her out, I don't blame her), but she loved the basket and the goodies in it. Then the 3 of us went to church. It was an amazing Easter service, one that I won't forget. After church we headed over to my dad and Nancy's house. There we had a delicious Easter brunch and loved being able to spend time with my side of the family. Madeline did another Easter egg hunt and received another fun Easter basket with adorable gifts at their house. I love the time that we spend together during the holidays. I truly try to treasure it and hold onto the memory. Madeline really enjoyed learning about Jesus being alive again, and we enjoyed teaching her the story of Easter and why we celebrate Easter. Hope everyone else had a wonderful Easter too!
