Happy Easter!
This was not Noah's first Easter, but since he was just barely 2 weeks old when we celebrated Easter last year, it sort of felt like it was his first Easter-at least in terms of him being able to have fun and enjoy it. Just a short reflection...here's Noah with his Easter basket last year:
And now, Noah with his Easter basket this year: 
What a huge difference a year makes!!!So, we had had a great Easter. My parents came in town on Saturday to spend a short weekend with us. Noah got his Easter basket from Grandma and Granddad before bed on Saturday night and got a wind up bunny rabbit that hopped. He loved it! He also got some new little balls to play with which were also a hit.
Uncle Thomas came up and stayed the night too since we were all planning to get up to go the the 7 a.m. "Sunrise" service at Point of Grace Easter morning. Unfortunately we got some much needed rain, so it was pouring and thus no sunrise at 7 a.m. But the service was still wonderful.

Our family at church. I love how Noah is looking up at Mike
What a handsome little man in his Easter outfit!
I love going to Point of Grace and especially love our Easter service because every year it is a big celebration. This year was no different. I let Noah hang out with us during the opening worship songs (we usually take him to the nursery right away because he's just so active and we all enjoy Sundays more if I'm not trying to fight him to sit still and be quiet which is basically impossible--this is something we'll need to work on before Kristi's wedding in June though!). He loved the music and even tried clapping his hands when other people were and was dancing and running around-so cute! 
Later that afternoon after Mike was finally home after all the worship services, Noah got to get into his Easter basket. He got baby friendly crayons, a little Nerf football, and some sunglasses along with some of his favorite snacks-yogurt puffs, dried fruits, and even Easter eggs filled with O's. Don't worry, we've share a little bit of the good stuff with him too--he does like Peeps and of course chocolate too!

Then he went into the nursery for a while, but I got him back out for the closing songs. We do a balloon drop during the last song and he loves balloons so I knew he would love this. We still have a balloon at home leftover from his birthday party that he likes and even knows how to say balloon now "ba-oon" is how he says it. Anyway, he saw the balloons when we first got to church and kept saying "ba-oon" and pointing and wanting to go get them. Of course we had to wait, but once they came in with them at the end of service his face lit up! We chased balloons all over the place and we of course let him take one home. I love watching him get so much joy out of such simple things. What a blessing it is as a parent to see your child so happy!
