Easter

We had a wonderful Easter. We started off celebrating in KC with my family and extended family who flew in from Ohio. It was great to see them all and catch up on their lives. Too bad I failed to take one single picture. Hopefully my Aunt will post hers to facebook soon so I can take them off.  

After our stay there we headed an hour west to see W's family. LB did so good with the car ride this time. Normally he is a feisty little guy in the car so we were expecting lots of hard times on the road, but he amazed us and slept the whole time. We were so thankful for that. Especially because it meant W and I got to catch up on life during the drive. It is amazing how little we get to sit and dream together now so those car rides are precious for sure. 

Seeing W's family was wonderful. It is always nice to sit down and catch up with them. I love that his whole family knows and loves the Lord so many conversation revolve around how great our God is. There is something so peaceful and calm when we are with his family and I love that. Not that I don't love being around my family but we are a loud Italian family so sometimes it gets a little hectic as each of us tries to talk over one another all the time. But there is nothing like Sunday dinner with my family. Abundance of food, eating off each other plates, chatting consistently, and never ever a dull moment. But back to W's family. I really just enjoyed the calm of Easter there. The time to reflect what Easter truly means and to just sit back and relax.

I wish someone would have taken pictures of the Easter egg hunt. I may have been a little competitive this year, but only because last year I failed miserably all big and pregnant so I felt the need to redeem myself. Plus I was getting eggs for 4 people so I had to be quick. W and I ended up with lots of chocolate which is just what this mama needs ;) 

Here are a few pictures of us all dressed up. It was fun to have a reason to put on a dress and actual get ready. I hardly ever do that. Let's face it we are lucky if I have my hair and makeup done by the time W gets home from work. Most days I have an internal fight about if I really have to put on anything but workout gear. 

Sweet family shot. 

My man is smokin'

Love his face here...

Stud

LB and Gigi

That pretty much sums up our Easter. LB was such a stud in his little suit! I wish I had a reason to dress him like that all the time. He melted my heart and pretty much everyone who saw him. He also did the cutest thing at church. Anytime a worship song was being sung he would hum along or sing really loud in babbles. It was absolutely adorable. This kid loves to sing. Many nights we hear him over the monitor humming to himself to get back to sleep. He also sings all the time in the car. I think we have a little musician on our hands.
