Easter is one of my favorite holidays, 3rd on the list to be exact. Christmas is number one for me, and of course the 4th of July/birthday is second. And Adam's favorite holiday is New Years, with Christmas as second. But Easter I love Easter because I think it is the happiest day without much prep, and I wanted to make it special for Solana no matter what. I love celebrating our Savior's resurrection and church always feels extra special that day. I love all the colors of spring, and I just love spring in general. It has the best feeling, like starting over or having great things before you. This year I had some things planned and others I completely spaced on, like dinner and egg decorating. (oops) But last minute we pulled it all together. Solana was especially happy that day, and I wouldn't say she was more hyper (she came to earth hyper) but she had a few sugar crash moments. She had a blast finding eggs around the house on Sunday morning, and was surprisingly very good at it. All in all I think Adam and I were more burnt out than she was (we had too many sweets!)
Then right before we were going to bed, I got a phone call that would happen to be the best news I have ever received, and that made the final decision on that day. It was the best Easter I had EVER had!
More on that to come......
Hope yours was wonderful as well. Happy Easter everyone!!
Saturday we stopped in at good ol' Yankee candle to see the Easter bunny, she was pretty excited, and this time we actually made it through without any tears. She was stiff as a board sitting on the bunny's lap, but she didn't cry! Maybe next year she will let go of me as well.
Yes another Elmo doll, this one is the baby and it talks. It's really cute actually, and now she carries both around.
Guess she got a little bored and wanted to watch her home movies on the phone.
All ready for church! It was such a cute white dress, super fluffy! And she loved being all dressed up. Having church at 1 actually has some perks. Long relaxing mornings, naps in the car on the way to church, then an early bedtime!
My two favorite people in the whole world, my twins!
We finally got a family photo. It has been way too long. But on Easter it was a must!
After dinner we headed to the Palace Green in CW. The weather was perfect! Solana ran around and we got some great pcitures. Then we ran into some good friends and we all hung for awhile. I love small towns, and I love our friends!!
We are not together often, but we always make it count when we are. I think I'm down to 4 weeks till his first year is done! (3 more to go, but they should hopefully not be so intense...) Can't wait to see him more than 1 hour a day. Our next photo will have even bigger smiles because we won't have school stress, yay!!!
