Easter Sunday

Our Easter celebration started on Saturday w/ the Easter Egg hunt and pictures. Sunday is the real Easter though. We were as busy as the song goes: from sunrise to sunset. We went to Calvary Chapel's Sonrise Service on a beach north of the Pier w/ the Crews and Bryants. I think that is a good tradition and it starts the day off on the right foot and in the right spirit. It was really cold for some reason. I didn't like that we had to cover up the Easter outfits with coats, but I knew more picture opportunities would follow.

*I seem to live to post here. It is so much easier than getting all of the scrap book stuff out and developing pictures and remembering what I had planned to do with them once I get them back.

Anyway. We went home and made deviled eggs - or started them. Then we went to a park in Gulfport by our church. Steven wouldn't let the photoshoot continue at 7:45am b/c the sun hadn't had a chance to warm anything up yet. Church doesn't start 'til 10 so we went early (since we were already dressed) and took a couple pictures. I wanted family pictures but we had to rely on people walking by with their dogs to take the pictures.

At church, I was called and set apart as the president of the Young Woman's organization. I taught an Easter lesson for Sunday School. Dylan went home and took a nap then it was off to my mom's house for a late lunch. She thankfully invited Steven's family over so we could all just stay at one house instead of going all over like most holidays. She also invited the missionaries over. It was lots of fun. She even hid eggs in the back yard for the kids. She only had a couple with candy in them and Jonathan is always trying to figure out ways that he'll be the "favorite" uncle so he gave Dylan a couple Nerds. Dylan wasn't too interested in eating. He was excited to see the basketball goal. Uncle Andre helped him make a basket with eggs and a basketball. Dylan also was king of the trampoline. He needed like 7 people around and on the trampoline at all times though to act as bumpers b/c he thought it was so fun to run until he crashed. He's in a good mood when he's throwing his arms up and saying "YA YA YA YA YA" with a huge smile.

It was almost time for the sun to set, so we headed home. Dylan only had 1 nap and slept for about 12 hrs like he did last night.
