Happy Easter!

A close up in my Easter outfit

We have had a wonderful day celebrating Easter today! It has been wonderful to share the Holiday with Carter. I know that he is too young to comprehend the resurrection of Jesus, but we want him to grow up knowing these truths about God and Christianity, so it is never to soon to start talking to him about them. We celebrated this beautiful day by going to church this morning as a family. As expected, church was VERY packed, but it was a nice service with lots of beautiful music and a meaningful, God-inspired message. Carter slept through most of it, but continues to be good during church when he is awake.

After church, we went to brunch with our good friends Haley and James. It was great to be able to spend time with them, and we enjoyed a yummy brunch until we were all incredibly stuffed. Carter was a happy little guy during lunch; he especially liked watching all of the older children who were running around. He crashed for about two hours when we got home, though...we wore the little guy out!

It turns out that even if you are a little boy (almost 7 months old!) the Easter Bunny comes to visit. Thanks to Popsy and Gigi who gave Carter his Easter Basket. It is hard to fill it with candy when all he eats is baby food and milk, so the EB filled the basket with books, new PJs, a teether and some candy for Carter to share with Mom and Dad!

Carter,
You looked so cute on Easter! I miss you! Maybe your Mommy and Daddy will go to another football game this Fall and we can hang out again!
Love, Aunt Stacey
