Easter 2012

Easter was so great! We enjoyed the message at our church, enjoyed being with some of our family, and enjoyed our baby. Although we did keep up with the traditional Easter Bunny gift, I cannot WAIT to get to share the true meaning of Easter with Harper.  I hope the make the Easter Bunny only a side item to this blessed holiday. I'm even hoping that next year we can do some fun activities from here to begin Harper's knowledge of how Christ rose from the dead for us.  I just know it will be so amazing to share this story with her.

We took Harper to church and she did great! She napped before church so we weren't too sure, but she did just fine! {check out Harper's church picture with Pink Lou Lou here!} She had on the same outfit that we had her 6 month pictures taken in.

Then we headed to GG and GDaddy's for a huge Easter lunch and egg-hunt with the kids!  Harper got crazy loaded down with some adorable smocked clothing for this summer and fall! Whoa Momma! You did too much!

*Future* Easter Traditions

I'm not much on decorating for every season (except Christmas!!) but I have put up just a few Easter decorations.  My regular table decoration has transformed into grass and Easter eggs, and I have a few things here and there.

I'm very excited to *hopefully* get an Easter basket on sale for my baby for next year! I know I want to put the name or the initials {HAB} on the liner.  Here's a few of the ones I found and liked:

And look at what happens after you plant these jelly beans from C Jane Blog.  What an adorable idea! How exciting for a kid! I can't wait to do that in a few years, along with making Resurrection Eggs.

What's your traditions for your kids?!
