We had a wonderful Easter this year. As I went through the day I was constantly thinking about Easter last year when Emma surprised us by coming into the world six weeks early. I think Easter will always be extra special for me because of that. It's amazing how much she's grown and changed since that day. I love each stage as it comes, and I miss the old stages when they go. Well, I miss some things. I'm pretty happy to say goodbye to multiple night-time feedings! But I do miss the days when she was so cuddly. Now she's too busy to cuddle!
We started the day with cinnamon rolls (Emma's a fan!) and church. After church, Aunt April and Uncle Steve came over to celebrate with us. We had a great dinner together and then the big kids played games while Emma napped. Later in the afternoon we went to the park to enjoy the amazing weather.
I posted some pictures on Facebook but thought I'd put some here too. Included is a picture of Emma unwrapping her gift from Aunt Lynnell. Nelly has decided to give Emma her birthday gifts on Easter so here's Emma unwrapping her quillow. It's a quilt that you can fold up into itself to make a cushy pillow. Emma loves it, it's so cozy :-)
The gift from Lynnell is precious! What beautiful pictures of Emma. Joy!
ReplyDeleteThe bright colors of the quilt are just perfect! And so is little Emma. She's got such a wonderful smile - makes me smile just to look at her!
ReplyDeleteOh, and I love her curls.... too cute!
ReplyDeleteThis post makes my heart ache. I wish I could be there to snuggle her myself, but I'm glad she's got a soft, cuddly blanket to do it for me in my absence!
ReplyDeleteWish you could be here too, Nelly! Counting down to AUGUST!!
