Happy Easter

Easter was a busy busy day for us. I started having Braxton hicks on Saturday and had them all day and all night. They continued all day on Easter. Brad volunteered at church to help direct the Easter traffic. We had a wonderful service at church and then went over to my mother and father in laws house for a pretty big lunch. I made mom's recipe of baked beans. Everyone really liked them. It was my first time making them so I 'm happy that they turned out. We had ham, potatoes, snacks....food galore. It was awesome. After lunch we went outside to watch the kids find their Easter eggs. They get so excited and so happy looking for their eggs. Its so wonderful being an Aunt and seeing the kids so happy. After lunch we went to my folks house for a big yummy turkey dinner, I love my mama's cookin. My mom and dad had our neighbors over and my friend Sam and her Mom over. Mom loves to have a full house when she cooks. The more the merrier. Mom and Dad bought Lily a few things for Easter, adorable little newborn outfits. Lily is spoiled rotten already. I was still having braxton hicks and my stomach was pretty sore so I was pretty exhausted. We went home and went straight to bed afterwards, sure enough I fall hard and fast asleep, but for only 20 minutes at a time....the contractions would wake me up and then I couldn't get back to sleep. Sigh.

It was such a wonderful day spending it with my family. I'm so blessed. Next year we'll be sharing Easter with our little Easter Lily :)
