We are so fortunate that unlike most people we get to celebrate Christ having risen twice each year. Every so often Orthodox Easter, and as we call it "Methodist" Easter, fall on the same weekend but for the most part the Easter Bunny is pretty common in our house throughout the month of April. I have come to the realization that this is going to be very complicated to explain to someone as young as Daley. :)
We went to Opelika this past weekend to celebrate our wonderful Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Zach's parents have such a wonderful church (First United Methodist of Opelika) and they are so fortunate to have such a wonderful preacher as Dr. Tim Thompson. I love that we get to be a part of this church every time we go and visit! He has such a profound way of bringing home the teachings of our Father. After church we had a great Easter lunch at Zach's parents house in which Daley's Great Grandmother Gina was able to attend. She has not been feeling well as of lately and is adjusting to being at home from the hospital so we were very lucky that she was able to make it. Daley has 3 great grandparents right now in her life and we thank the Lord above for allowing her to spend as much time with them as possible.
We got some great pictures of Daley and her Easter Basket and a Family picture of us in front of Zach's parents house. We also got a picture of Daley and Gina enjoying Mimi's excellent Easter lunch!
Love you all and Happy Easter! <><

Good Friday and Barber Motor Sports
This Friday was of course Good Friday, but also Sam Gardner's Birthday. We went to an awesome Easter Egg Hunt at my great friend Lisa Sonwden's (husband Kip, sons Sam and Luke). After the Easter Egg Hunt we then made the trip to the Barber Motor Sports Museum for Sam's Birthday. It was a wonderful start to a wonderful Easter weekend!

Easter Bunny
Sunday we went to see the Easter Bunny after Church. There is really not much to say that the picture below misses, except for I am sick of being in these things. It was awful. I really can't wait until this stage is over! I want cute pics! Not pics of me looking 400lbs because I am being pulled every which way!
We talked it up the whole way to the mall, "Daley are you sooo excited we are going to see the Easter Bunny?" we would ask. She said "YEAH!" "You're not going to cry?", we would ask . She would say "NO!" When I show her this picture I ask her "Daley, what re you doing in this picture?" She says "eating a sucker!" At least she find the good in things! :)
