Happy Easter!

HAPPY EASTER! 


Hope all of our friends and family had a wonderful day celebrating Easter. 

As Ava woke up, Mark and I got really excited because this was the first time we were getting to watch Ava go outside and find her Easter basket. 
I loved every moment. 
One of the fun parts about being a parent is getting to live out these holidays through the eyes of your child experiencing it all for the first time. 
After she opened her basket, we got ready for church and followed church with a delicious lobster and lamb chop lunch at Mark's family's house. My mother was with us too so it was nice to have both of our moms with us to spend Ava's 1st Easter as an active toddler. I am already looking forward to this holiday season now that Ava is a little older... 

Here is some of how we spent our Easter: 

( I tried to load the video of her going outside to find her basket from the Easter Bunny but it won't play after I load it on here. Sad.) 

Here was Ava's basket. 
She got a: 
-Minnie Mouse (or as she says, "Minnie Mou!"
-A quacking toy duck because Ava loves to say, "Ack! Ack! Ack!" like a duck...
-A light up, spinning bumble bee toy
-A light up chick baton 
-Easter eggs filled with snacks

Playing with Daddy's drums after service. This makes Mark proud as you can imagine...and especially because no one tells her to do it. She loves playing already.
