Last year (Easter 2012) due to my freshly broken foot, we stayed at our home for Easter with just us 4 (plus baby G in the belly). We traditionally travel during all the holiday's so we can be together with Brady's family. Last year we missed them. They decided to go to the lake. It was actually nice to not have to pack up a darn thing and just enjoy our kiddos at home. It was perfect. The kids were precious hunting for eggs in their own backyard and Brady cooked us some delicious steaks. They spent the day playing sweetly and snacking on treats.

Easter is my favorite holiday. It is simple and quiet and supposed to be meaningful. I have fond memories of my family at Easter time. Mom always made something yummy and the bunny cake was set out. I especially looked forward to my annual new dress and shoes to wear to church. I missed that last year. I did get Hailey a festive shirt but it just wasn't the same. This year I went with a blue color scheme. I think they looked adorable. Brady has cute pictures on his real camera. I manned the digital video camera and only snapped a few not so clear ones with my iphone. The kids set out their baskets the night before, Hailey left a note, no one threw up and it rained so the bunny had to leave his eggs and treats inside. The kids were excited nonetheless. Then the sun came out and we went outside.
