He Is Risen!

We had a beautiful Easter.  The weather was absolutely perfect throughout the day - so appropriate for the beauty of the day and the celebration of our Savior risen.  Ellison woke up and we immediately went downstairs so she could find the eggs the Easter bunny hid (about 5 minutes prior, during her potty time - hey, the eggs can't go bad, man!).  She had fun finding them, and we thought for sure she'd get sidetracked by the basket o' goodies sitting on the fireplace, but she didn't even notice.

With the hunt behind her, and with us pointing out her new treats, Ellison pulled out every item one by one.  I know, she looks less than thrilled, but she really was excited.  It may have been her pesky parents rushing her through so we could get ready for church.
Attempts at family photos never turn out in our household.  I know.  I've said it before.

I love Elli's face in this one.



Our little crack-up tearing into a Peep.  She is still asking for one every single morning for breakfast.  Marshmallow anything, and this girl is sold on it.

After a beautiful church service, we went to Lucky 32 for Easter brunch where the Sbihli clan joined us.  I imagine Lucky 32 will be a tradition in our house for Easter brunch - we went last year for the first time when my parents and aunt were in town visiting.

The rest of the day was very relaxing, and just family time.  Very peaceful.
