Easter

Easter started off for us as a very busy morning. We decided to go to our church in the desert for Easter service, which meant we needed to be fed, dressed and out of the house by 8. It doesn't sound that early, I know, but when you have to get Emma ready it takes a little bit longer! :)

We woke her up about 7:15 and gave her her Easter basket. She was looking real beautiful in her half-zipped jammies and crazy hair. She liked her basket though and of course we had fun watching her dig through it! :)

Emma still doesn't do extremely well in the nursery at church, so we decided to try and let her sit with us through the service. She was pretty good...as long as she had food to eat to keep her mouth quiet. She was thrilled to get a donut! :)

Easter was beautiful in the desert this year and so after church we had trouble getting Emma back in the car. She kept running around in the grass and trying to get away from us. It was really cute!

Later in the afternoon, after we got back from church, Dave's parents came up to celebrate Easter with us. I think Emma's favorite part of the afternoon, we getting to find Easter eggs.

It didn't take her long to figure out that there was candy in the eggs (m&m's and jellybeans) so she spent a lot of time just eating the candy. :)

She was very happy with her treasures - we are still rationing them!

The day ended with a yummy dinner - Emma's favorite's were the ham and the rolls. It was fun to watch her enjoy everything and we had a great time celebrating Jesus and His love for us!!
