Connor's First Easter!! FUN!

I've been slacking on blogging this week!  School has been awful!  and when i say awful i mean, "i think to myself daily (no, hourly) why didn't i take this semester off?" PLUS, i have misplaced the battery charger for my camera...oops!  

anyway, here is our wonderful Easter Sunday!  we had so much fun...i think Connor makes every holiday more exciting!

Connor woke up Sunday morning and (obviously) "crawled" to his Easter basket...and by crawling i mean, i put him on his stomach and he preceeded to scream bloody murder

Then, he miraculously ended up on the ottoman of his glider rocker 

(fear not, he was well supervised)

Connor's Easter basket.  

I must say, i did make it myself (with a bit of help from my mom).  

Mom always made our baskets, so i have a lot to live up to.

i think there was enought wrap to last us 2 more easters!  

First cell phone...(found at Kohl's for less than $2)

Connor's Mimi found this book for his Easter basket!

is that a smile i see?  indeed!  the only smile of the morning!

Connor made his first official appearance at Belle Aire sunday morning, and we found a twin!  Our friend Colleen bought this dress from American Eagle, and its a perfect match!

We ate at Bell Buckle Cafe and then came home for the good old family photos!  Here we are: Nunna, Mimi (my mom), myself, Connor, and Tyler (my brother)

Next, we opened presents from Mimi 

(any excuse mom can find to buy a present, she does)

She also got him Disney's 101 Dalmatians.  Apparently, i was more excited than he...

Every year we have an Easter egg hunt for my and my brother (we get money instead of candy :)   And this year, Connor got to join in!  He was asleep, but he got 6 quarters to add to his piggy bank!

He fell asleep after the 2nd egg and went inside to hang out with his Great Nunna

My best friend Morgan and her boyfriend Nick came to help us find our eggs!  It took all 4 of us an hour and a half to find all the eggs!  

(one is still missing...)

We fell into a bush trying to get the last egg...mom was more concerned about the bush.

Baby's 1st Easter outfit.  love it!  Little Bunnies for the feet!! so sweet!

Probably my favorite thing about this little outfit from Target is the hiney!  

I guess he really was a rabbit that day, 

except he didn't eat any carrot or rapidly procreate (thank goodness)

Sorry for the terrible long post, but we had a very full day! 

Happy Easter!

Happy Easter to all our blogging friends! We love you and rejoice in the forgiveness of Jesus Christ! I usually don't just post quotes, but i believe this one from Beth Moore is so befitting for this day of celebration!

"Can you imagine the divine appointment as God called out the names of two of His cherubim and beckoned them before the throne, then sent them to earth to guard the most precious body that ever lived? Surely, as the body of their beloved lay in that tomb, those two angels stood constant guard, one at the head, one at the feet, facing one another with wings outstretched, feet practically melted into position, eyes cast solidly in one direction. Surely, their gaze never wavered from the One they adored. Their eyes were fixed securely on His own. Not a single angelic muscle must have twitched, awaiting the Father’s promise.
Then those eyes – those penetrating eyes that saw the pain of a leprous man, the eyes that set free a woman at the well, the eyes that saw a “rock” instead of a fumbling disciple 0 those piercing eyes began to open. And with the sound of mighty rushing waters, their wings propelled them straight into the heavens with the dearest cry a pair of spiritual ears would ever hear: He is risen!"

Much Love, Rebekah
