Easter Day

We started out Easter morning going to church at Shandon Methodist- just me, Grandaddy and William. We didn't take William to the nursery, but instead he made it through half the service and I was there for almost the entire service. He and Grandaddy walked around outside and looked at all of the pretty flowers on the cross and then even put some on the cross. We got home about 10 o'clock and William does what he does best- read! He loves to read, but especially with his Grandaddy!
Now I would like to read that one please.
We took a break after reading and before a little nap to open his Easter basket. The most important things in the basket were his new ball and 6 new books.
After nap, we headed to Nana and Grandad's for lunch and enjoyed a nice Easter lunch with the fam (minus Hunter, Amanda and Hannah). We did end up meeting up with them later at Gene and Haley's for a little Easter Egg hunt for Emory Anne, Grady, Hannah and William. The kids always have fun playing in the Bell's back yard--it's full of toys, swing set and I think most importantly, a sand box. William actually understood what we were doing and he went around and collected eggs for his basket. Next year, he will be fully prepared while his younger brother or sister just sits around not knowing how much fun Easter really is!

This was William's first Easter that he actually was visited by the Easter Bunny and enjoyed the day with family and friends. One day he will actually understand what Easter really means and how important it is to us to celebrate this day!
