Easter 2015

One of my favorite times of the year is Easter. Maybe it's the dawn of the new season, the extra family time, or remembering why we celebrate it in the first place. Praise the Lord He rose just like He said He would. That's the incredible thing about our Savior, He ALWAYS does what He says He's going to do. Pretty amazing right? That a man who was blameless, sinless, perfect, and holy took it upon Himself to die for me. What a beautiful gift, what a wondrous love.

Good Friday 2014 vs. Good Friday 2015. 16 weeks pregnant. 6 months post baby. INSANE. How has it already been a year. Oh yeah and the previous year was our bachelor/bachelorette weekend. Wrap yo mind around that one, because I'm having a hard time doing so. 

This Easter we spent it at one of our most favorite places Ocean Isle Beach! We packed up a loaded the car Wednesday night so we could hit the road early Thursday morning around her first nap time. She only slept about an hour but was a champ the whole car ride! Daddy played golf once we got down there and I hit up the grocery store with my mom and aunts. Pop-Pop was on C duty. We came home to find them both fast asleep in the recliner. Such a win. We took a nice two mile walk with cousin Elana. We had a yummy dinner, put the babe to bed, and spent time with everyone.

Friday was absolutely GORGEOUS! High in the mid 70's, loads of sunshine, and a nice breeze. We took another walk. Mommy and daddy got some alone time and explored the beach. Then took a nice nap in the Eno outside on the deck. It was phenomenal. We also took Caroline on the beach for a little toes in the sand time. This isn't her first time on the beach but it was warm enough this go around to let her enjoy it. I think she's going to be a beach bum like her mommy and daddy.  We then went out to eat for a big family dinner at one of our favorite restaurants Boundary House!

Saturday was kind of cloudy so us girls went to see Cinderella, if you haven't seen it yet I suggest you do! It was amazing! Again, pop-pop was in charge of Tiny Child. Pop got some quality snuggle time with little bit and I don't think either one of them was complaining one bit. Derik got to play golf again, the way to his heart is through a golf swing, I'm convinced. 

The Easter bunny came to visit! Ok, 4 bunnies came to visit her and we've yet to see Nana Easter bunny. Let's face it. The girl is rotten. She was way more interested in the tissue paper, mommy may have been a little more excited. She also enjoyed eating the bunny. Please excuse the no shower look, this was around 7am. 

It was a wonderful weekend, we had the best time. We laughed so hard, ate way too much, and we got to sleep. We had certain baby-nappers come in our room when someone would wake up. Thanks MiMi and Pop. We slept in until almost 9 and it was glorious. I hope all of y'all had a wonderful Easter weekend! He has risen indeed!
