Easter 2012

Today was just...lovely. It's really the perfect word to describe today. It was a busy one, but a good one, and now I'm sitting here with a full belly and a tired head, but I don't feel sick from Mini Cadbury Egg-overload like most years past, so I'd say that's a success!

Henry woke up around 7am and we did Easter here. He was really excited as soon as I said the word "presents" and had a good time exploring all of the little things we had picked out for his basket. We gave him a bunch of small items like snacks, coloring/reading books, and a couple special toys, and then also got him one "bigger" item- a mini bowling set. He had a great time with it.

After we did "our" Easter, we went on a family walk around our neighborhood (today was beautiful!) and then got ready for brunch at my mother-in-law's, which was totally decadent and delicious as usual. We spent most of the day in the front yard, Henry chasing bubbles and beach balls, and running around in the grass with his Aunt Brooke. Then later tonight we spent time with Hank's Dad and family and had a great time too. I feel lucky we have so much family surrounding us, and it's days like today I feel extra grateful for them. :)

We you celebrated Easter today or not, I hope your Sunday was wonderful! Here are some photos from ours.

and p.s. what a difference a year makes, right?!
