Easter Weekend | 2019

It's been a while since I last blogged. My surgery went great and I plan to do a recap of life lately soon but for now, I want to talk about Easter. This was Camden's second Easter but the first one he was able to participate in. I can't get over how much he has grown since last Easter. We kicked off Easter with his first egg hunt at school. I was so thankful my mom could go and take pictures as I had just returned to work the day before and was slammed with playing catch up. While he didn't quite understand the concept of egg hunting, he eventually caught on and would pick an egg up slowly and throw it in his bucket. The funniest part was him pointing to the eggs at home and saying "ball." That boy loves a ball.

 

I had to work on good Friday so Craw took Camden to see his family for the day. I was sent lots of pictures and it looked like he had a blast seeing family and playing with Avery.

 

Saturday was the big egg hunt at our church. I was so excited to see his reaction to all of the inflatables and eggs. Our church had 10,000 eggs and they split up the times between the big and little kids. Camden wasn't a big fan of the jump house but he loved the big slide. He even got his Pappy to take him down a couple times. When it was time for the egg hunt, they let the kids run in to the room and of course Camden saw a basketball in the corner of the room and ran to it saying "ball."  He didn't care about the eggs at all.

 

Sunday was all about celebrating the resurrection of Jesus. While he is not old enough to understand why we celebrate, he has caught on to saying his prayers. It melts my heart when we tell him to say prayers and he puts his hands together like he's praying. Our sweet boy is going to change the world one day and I pray he keeps loving Jesus. He woke up that morning to some fun goodies in his Easter basket. The bubbles and chalk were his favorite.

 

Craw had to do sound so our family was all over the place at church. After church, we were able to get a quick family photo and then went to lunch with Craw's family. Cam got to meet his Uncle Coop and Aunt Allie's new puppy and he loved him. He loves dogs and that makes me very happy. That night, we celebrated with my family and also celebrated Aunt Hillary's birthday. It was the perfect weekend spent with family and we also got a great nap in. I am so thankful for my little family and love that we are able to create great memories with Camden.

 



Camden's First Easter

I dreamed of what holidays would be like prior to having a baby. Watching my friends with their kids, I knew that all holidays were going to be a special time. Easter has always been special to me in my faith journey so I was super excited to celebrate it with my sweet boy this year. He was too small to participate in all of the fun events but we still took him and had a blast. I can already tell he's going to have a blast next year when he can actually walk and pick up an egg.

We kicked off Easter weekend at church on Friday night for the Flashlight Easter Egg Hunt. They do an egg hunt in the dark for older kids and do a normal egg hunt for the toddlers. Camden had fun seeing all of his BFF's and we even got one picture with Logan (10 months) and Carter (7 months).

 

 

Saturdays are my favorite because I love waking Camden up and cuddling with him in our bed. He is such a happy baby in the mornings and is when he does the most of his talking. Saturday was my mom's birthday so we celebrated a steak dinner with her. We gave her a canvas of Camden's feet making an anchor since my parents love the beach. We had such a fun night hanging with family and got some great pictures of Camden. He also got his first Easter egg basket from my parents and his favorite present was the sunglasses.

 

 

 
Sunday morning I was running things solo. Craw had to be at church at 6 am for the sunrise service so I took my time getting Camden ready for his first Easter. His outfit was given to us by one of my mom's coworkers and I knew it would be the perfect Easter outfit. The pants were a little too long but I just rolled them under. For his first Easter basket, I went with all practical items since he is too small to understand. He got a bunch of bibs, a book, pacis, gas drops, and a pair of toms. After church, we got some family photos with our little guy. That night, we went to dinner with Craw's parents and Camden got to hang out with his Lulu and Papa Al. Sadly, I did not get a picture but we enjoyed seeing them.

 

 

 



I think it's safe to say his first Easter was a success. We are so thankful for a loving God that sent His Son to die on the cross for our sins, knowing that in 3 days, the grave would be empty. How thankful I am for a risen Savior.
