JW's first Easter

This was JW's first Easter, though I am sure he was to small to ever remember it - thankfully his mommy has a blog to document all these firsts!  (I'm pretty pumped that this post is going up in a relatively timely manner - our road trip, month 3 and month 4 posts are still coming!)

Easter started a couple weeks ago when my parents came to visit (that's another post!).  They brought JW a bench with cute little animals on it!  Now to decide where to put it - inside or out?? 

Then Gampy and Buscia came to visit and brought some stuffed animals (thanks to Adam and Esther, too) and a UNC outfit (Daddy loved that one!!)

I wasn't quick enough to get him an Easter basket.  I want a personalized one, so I'll have to be on the ball for next year.  I don't think he missed it this year!  I did buy a cute little felt one at Target and put a couple things in it that he needed - some new bibs, a toy, and an Easter onesie and bib.  He wore the bib for the morning and the onesie after church. 

We started the day early in order to get ready for church.  JW and Daddy lounged in bed while Mommy got ready.  Then we went to church.  I thought we were doing good by being 20 minutes early...ummmm NO.  We were seated in the overflow area and watch the service on a projector screen.  Not really the experience we were going for, but we happy to still receive the message and take communion.  In the end it turned out to be better we were in the other room.  Right around the reading of the Gospel JW got a little antsy in his carseat.  So, Daddy picked him up.  And the smell stung our noses.  We were pretty sure it was a doosie (how do you spell that?!?!?).  So during the Peace, I snuck out to change little JW....oh boy was it ever a doosie... Out the side, up the front and STINKY!!  So needless to say his cute outfit of khakis and a sweater did not last long and we did not get a picture (Boo).  After church we went to Ray's for brunch. Yummy brunch - though no mimosas or bloody mary's were had - can't serve alcohol until after 12:30....booo (we made up for it later).  On the way home we stopped at the park in the neighborhood for a couple pictures.  (not the best pictures, but they will do.  We were in a hurry - mommy needed to take care of some business).  After lounging around and a long nap (for JW) we went to my SIL's for dinner with her, our nephew and my MIL.  (JW got some more Easter loot there - a book, socks, and Daddy's childhood stuffed bunny and book.)  Then home to bed!  All in all a great day!

playing with Daddy in bed - check out my ducky bib - its really soft, but doesn't do much with the drool I've been putting out lately....cute - check, functional - no

JW's Easter Basket - don't worry - he'll have a proper personalized one next year - hey - he might even care what's in it then!!
