What a FUN Easter we had!  Holden was so fun this year!  So exciting to see the world through his little eyes.  Getting to walk by his side as he experiences new things is such an amazing feeling.  I love being this little boys Momma. 

Holden spent Sunday morning hunting Easter eggs all over the house before Church.  I had put money in his eggs because there really isn't anything else you can fit in them besides candy and we don't give him sweets or candy, so money was the next best thing.  Plus, coins inside plastic eggs are awesome noise makers for little boys, or so I discovered Sunday morning.  They also make a really loud exploding noise when thrown against our new wood floors!  The floors were just installed Thursday/Friday, so everything echoes since we haven't bought any area rugs.  We had a very LOUD start to our Sunday morning.  But Holden enjoyed every minute of it.

Hunting Easter eggs

In Sunday school he learned that Jesus is the Lion and the Lamb.  And that he died for our sins.  Holden is such a sweet boy, he even had his "The Story of Easter" book in his backpack.  Didn't know it until after Church.

After Church we headed over to some friends to enjoy Easter lunch and hunt eggs.  The rain didn't ruin our fun times, just delayed them a little.  Holden was all pumped and ready to go the minute we got there.  He could barely wait......

Giving the evil eye to Toby.........these are my eggs

Holden did not trust anyone with his Easter bucket.  He carried it with him everywhere.  You would have thought he was seriously injured when I tried to take it from him to change his diaper.  I've never heard him cry out like he did.  Mommy did not like it!  Of course, he won, I just worked around a bucket to change the diaper.

So proud, the first one that he stubled across

YEA!  I found another one!

Look at that determination on his face, "I will get the most
eggs in MY bucket!"

Pink!  Pink is for girls!

Thank you Lord for a beautiful day and for sending your son to die on the cross, so that we may be forgiven.  What a blessing it is to have Jesus in our lives and for the forgiveness he gives us each day.

Thankful,
