Lexi's First Easter

This is WAY way late, but I wanted it recorded for memory keeping. Lexi's first Easter was the perfect reminder of God's love for us. Our day started with waking up late for church. I'm going to go ahead and be one of those people and make up an excuse for why I woke up late, haha. Keith was working nights during this times, so all of our schedules were jacked up because of this. We live in a tiny small house while Keith is finishing school, so when one person isn't sleeping well, we all aren't.

The Easter Bunny was very generous in leaving Lexi's goodies in the living room the night before. Once Lexi woke up, I scooped her up and carried her to the living room careful not to wake Keith. I didn't even get a chance to turn the lights on before I caught the little stinker already digging into her goodies. ; ) The bunny brought a swimsuit, BOOKS, a cute, cuddly bunny, and a crawl tunnel! Sorry Lexi, no candy this year! ; )

Keith woke up before lunch and we ate a yummy lunch at my parent's house. Afterwards, Lexi went down for a nap and we met Keith at his parent's house for dinner. I should also mention that Lexi had her first Easter egg hunt earlier in the week at my mom's office. She had skipped her afternoon nap that day, and was SO tired, but she was still so cute and sweet. Afterwards, we went to Steak 'n Shake. She was cracking us up signing 'more.'

We are incredibly grateful for the precious gift of eternal life and salvation, and God's little reminders of his love through our miraculous child. Every child is a miracle in my eyes, and if you are a parent, I am sure you agree. I just cannot fathom having a child without having faith...and thankfully, I do not have to. This was the best Easter ever thanks to my little Easter egg!
