Easter

I love Easter! I love the: 

Easter egg hunts

 carrot cake

 family time

dressing in our Sunday best

remember and sharing with other's our Savior's sacrafice for us

 the Easter basket

 decorating eggs

And like with EVERYTHING it is all so much more fun with a little one whose eyes light up with each activity! The Easter bunny went shopping a few weeks before easter when Wesson LOVED trains, was obsessed with trains, ate, played, slept and dreamed trains. Since those few weeks Wesson has come to love garbage trucks and soccer balls with the same love he once reserved only for trains. Blasted! But he still loved the train set, book, train candy, and "race cars for church" (he kept calling them that, umm we don't race cars at church but whatever makes the little man happy!)

 Wesson's Easter basket

I loved the color coordination of it all. Completely accidental. Lets just say I am THAT good a mom!

 Dad & Wesson putting the track together 

(we figured out a few days later it makes a cool figure 8 shape...it took us awhile ok! and also Ryan and I still find ourselves playing with the trains while Wesson is over engaged in other toys...lame confession I know!)

 I LOVE this picture! It is everything easter to me! I loved his little tie- he did too! "Daddy's tie for ME?" All day long. It was seriously so cute, and uh...maybe I should get him more ties...

 American Gothic (right? we should have had pitch fork props!)

Wesson and Livi

This is neither of their personalities. This must be what you get when 6 adults are trying to make you smile. "seriously?" Also- I just realized our backdrop was a chainlink fence. We'll do better next year...

Happy Easter everyone! 

The best mothering moment had to be, after Wesson was SO excited about his basket, I tried to teach him about the "real" meaning of Easter. I told him how Jesus died and his friends and family were really sad but then he lived again and everyone was happy, and it makes us happy because we know we can live with our families again. A few hours later we were talking about Easter again and I said "what is Easter about, Wesson?" To which he replied: "trains, Jesus died and was sad and lived again with a family happy"close enough right? and trains still came first...
