Easter 2012

Easter Sunday was fully loaded this year. We usually do the same routine every Easter, but this year was a little more labored since we have a baby. This was Annabelle's very first Easter. To get things kicked off we went to church to hear Rhonda and Jerry sing with the choir. As soon as we got seated (we were a little late) Annabelle started crying. The music was just to loud for her to handle. Annabelle and I ended up in the nursery. She had missed her morning nap and she was not happy! After church we had lunch with Rhonda and Jerry and had the opportunity to take a few pictures.

Our first Easter picture as a family!

What a sweet girl!

 Such a pretty thing!

After our photo session we all had lunch and then Cameron, Annabelle and I headed to my parents for an Easter egg hunt. Annabelle was way to tired and cranky to go outside. Unfortunately, she was unable to sleep. This made for a really unhappy baby. By the time we headed home Annabelle had missed three naps and had not eaten well because of her crankiness. She was exhausted! I put her down at 7:30pm and she did not wake until 2:30am to eat and then back down until about 8:45am. I love that she slept well, but I hate that it was because she was so tired and ill. What may seem simple to us is a lot on a baby. However, we did have a great Easter and we got to spend time with both family's. I am so grateful to be blessed with such great families. Easter is a special time of year for so many reasons. I am glad we are able to share such wonderful memories with the ones we love. Here's to many, many more memories to come........XOXO
