Easter Sunday

This morning we got up super early to make it to the 8:00 am service at Faith Baptist. Our church had 3 morning services today to accommodate the increase in number's we were expecting today. I thought we could hopefully miss the rush by attending the early service. Unfortunately I had to wake Lilliana p around 7:15 since she had not gotten up yet. I had a feeling it would turn out that way since we had somewhere to be, but she was a real trooper.

We had debated whether or not to give her her Easter loot in the morning since we were running short on time but decided to go ahead and do so. She was so excited about her basket and went straight for her Minnie Mouse first and then onto her baby doll stroller. She wasn't really happy when we had to leave to go to church but she had fun in nursery.

After arriving home from church Lilly went down for her morning nap and Momma got to cookin for Easter lunch. My family cam over to our house to enjoy lunch together so that we would be able to stay at our own house. It is so much easier this way for Lilliana since she still takes 2 naps during the day. We enjoyed Ham from the Honey Baked Ham store, turkey, dressing, corn casserole, macaroni and cheese, green beans, deviled eggs, rolls and dessert. It was so yummy and reminded me of our Thanksgiving dinner's.

We decided to have a little egg hunt of our own at our house after lunch and again Lilliana did great. This time she was able to get even more eggs since she wasn't competing against anyone else! After all my family left we attempted to put Lilliana down for her afternoon nap but after about an hour worth of trying we gave up and decided to go ahead out to Collierville to see Clay's parent's.

We enjoyed some pizza over there for dinner and Lilliana got her Easter basket from Grandmother and Poppy. She had a great time playing and had another easter egg hunt around the house since it had started to storm by that point. We headed home around 6:30 and Lilliana was asleep before we reached the interstate! I knew she was exhausted since she didn't get her afternoon nap but she stayed in a great mood either way.

Hope your Easter was filled with family, fun and the real meaning that His GRACE bought for us.
