Easter

PERFECT pretty much sums up our Easter weekend.  It was raining Saturday morning so our egg hunt at church got cancelled.  We decorated bunny cookies instead and Christian loved it.  He loves making things in the kitchen with me and he gets SO excited any time I tell him to go get his stool.  He runs as fast as he can, scoots the rug over to wherever I am, puts his stool down, and hops right up!  It is one of my favorite things.  It was nice to relax all morning.  We went to my Aunt Vickie and Uncle Warren's house later that afternoon for a cook out and egg hunt.  Christian had so much fun playing with Madley!  It was just as much fun watching Corey and Jason hide the eggs as it was watching the kids find them... lol  Jason and I grew up being very close... he was like my brother because we were only children, so it's awesome to see our kids playing together.  We stayed over there for hours just hanging out and visiting... It was a great time!

 

Precious, right??

Saturday night we had fun playing the Easter Bunny.  We put bunny signs on each of the boys doors so the bunny would know where to go. ;)  Christian enjoys my cheesiness! haha  The Easter Bunny also sent him a letter earlier that week.  We only put silly little fun things he could play with and candy in their baskets.  I really want to stress the importance of Easter and what it's TRUE meaning is.  I found this little printable that you put with an empty egg and it talks about how the tomb was found empty - perfect!  We made a line of eggs that went from C's room to his Easter basket and he just loved that.  It was fun watching him find it and dig through it. =)  Then, got everyone ready for church and off we went!  After church we ate with my dad and spent the rest of the day napping.  We went to my moms for dinner and had a great time there too... The boys got another basket of goodies.  We came home and gave them their big basket from their Mimi too... Christian was so excited he kept getting things! haha  We read The Easter Story to Christian before we put him to bed and he really listened... He pointed to Jesus on every page.  There is nothing better than hearing a 2 year old say, Jesus.. SO sweet!!  Corey and I watched The Bible finale after the boys went to bed and cried like a baby.  I can not fathom what He went through for MY sins.  I am not deserving of His love but I am so thankful that He believes I am.  It really puts things into perspective when you watch Him being beat and nailed to a cross.  Petty sins that I am guilty of every day are definitely on my mind a whole lot more now to be cautious of what comes out of my mouth.  I can do better... I will always be able to do better... and that is exactly what I plan on doing!  Corey and I talked about how we want so badly to get to a point that our ENTIRE life and being is 100% focused on God... all of our decisions, moves, and everything we do.  I don't want to do anything that is not in His will for our life.  We will also continue to pray together every night that our boys will grow up knowing the Lord, for their salvation, and they both marry Godly women that bring out the very best in them.  The MOST important thing I will do in this world is teach my boys about God, to know Him, and to honor Him in everything they do.  

I am HIS because HE is ALIVE!!!
