Happy Easter

This morning we headed out to church at Midland Park with Lindy and Granddaddy for a very special Easter sermon.  Kendall visited with some of the members of the church and then took a nap.  She was so good during the service and was even able to take a nap through the trumpets and horns.  I can’t wait for Kendall to know and understand the story of Jesus!

After church we enjoyed an Easter lunch with the entire Grant family and also celebrated Sullivan’s birthday.  It was such a beautiful day! Can you believe already 80 degrees and it is just April?  Thankfully we had a bit of a breeze when we were outside.I decided to lay Kendall in the grass on a blanket because I really wanted to get some pictures outdoors of her in her Easter dress. She rolled from side to side and lifted up her dress a few times but we had daddy helping with the technicalities so we were able to capture a few shots. Sullivan and Emory went on an Easter egg hunt in the backyard and had a blast checking out what the Easter bunny brought to Lindy and Granddaddy’s house.   Next year Kendall will be able to run around with her cousins to gather Easter eggs of her own. Sullivan is a big Star Wars fan and was very excited to see his cake.  There was an extra candle on his cake this year to honor GG Lib, her birthday is on April 6.  She passed away in February 2009.  We sure do miss her but know she is watching us from above.Once we were home and Kendall was well rested, we showed her the goodies the Easter bunny brought for her.  She didn’t know what to think about the blue octopus, but thought he was pretty funny.  Cooing is one of her new favorite things and if the octopus could’ve talked, they would have had a pretty good conversation.  She also got some books, teethers, a DVD and a super soft bunny from Lindy and Granddaddy.  Not bad for a FIRST Easter basket!

 

We hope everyone had a wonderful Easter weekend and we look forward to many more firsts with Kendall.
