I'm sure I've said this before, but holidays become even better with a little one around! Just like Christmas, I know Liam won't remember his first Easter but it sure was fun having the Easter bunny visit anyway. ;) While we skipped the Easter egg hunt this year, the basket was still a must. His Easter basket was filled with new khaki and camo shorts, matching shoes, some new favorite books (Happy Easter, Mouse! and Guess How Much I Love You), a little whale swim suit, and a bunny!
We invited my mother-in-law over for ham, mashed potatoes, salad, and rolls. It was fun having family join us! She brought Liam a new book that has all kinds of baby animals in it and their matching furs/feathers/skin that you can feel. I was reading it to him yesterday and we looked at kitties, puppies, piggies, lambs, baby chicks but the only one he reached out for and touched was the baby bunny. He recognized it as Rue. It was so adorable!
Their relationship cracks me up. Rue won't give him the time of day, in fact she flat out hops the other direction, unless he is not watching! He on the other hand adores her.
The best part of all that day was going to church and reflecting on my Savior. My heart was so full the whole day knowing that because of him, I can live with my family forever. As I rocked Liam to sleep that night and watched his eyes drift to sleep I sang him a song that I often sing to him most nights, but that night it seemed to mean everything ... "I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me, confused at the grace that so fully he proffers me. I tremble to know that for me he was crucified, that for me a sinner he suffered, he bled and died. Oh it is wonderful, that he should care for me, enough to die for me. Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me."

I adore this little family of mine. Hope you had a Hoppy Easter and got to spend it with the ones you love most too! :) XO
