Happy Easter!

We had a wonderful weekend celebrating Harper's first Easter. The Easter Bunny left her a little basket with a few goodies-- a rattle, books, a stuffed "Peep", and new bib. Her grandparents both sent her some fun goodies, too. We enjoyed a beautiful service at church, and then the three of us had a nice brunch out. We had Easter dinner with three other couples and their kids at our friends Blake and Rebecca's house-- a fun tradition that we've been doing with our friends for the last 5 years.

What a blessing to be able to celebrate the Lord's resurrection with our sweet girl! We can't wait until she gets older and we can teach her all about her risen Savior!

Our little Easter present! This will be one of those pictures that she will HATE when she's older. :)



Harper got her picture with the Easter Bunny at the mall, but slept right through it. She refused to open her eyes at all, so we just ended up laying her across the Bunny's lap.

Our little family at church.

Harper's Easter dress. A beautiful handmade smocked dress that was a very sweet gift-- thanks so much Kay!


She even had a matching Easter bonnet. She looked so cute in it-- like a little pink cabbage!


Springtime means that its cherry blossom season in DC. They are beautiful, but only last a few weeks.


Even Miss Harper got to "Oooo" and "Ahhh" over the cherry blossoms this year.
Our big handsome Norm loves the warmer weather, too... we think he must know that its almost swimming season!

I have to leave one more comment. I am a little partial (I know) but I am flipping out at how cute she is in her Easter Basket. I hope the grass didn't itch her biscuits!
