easter 2011

i have been so excited about austin's easter this year.  i knew it would be fun for her to hunt eggs, but i was most excited about her easter basket.  i had planned on getting her the beatrix potter hardback complete edition, but i waited to the last minute, and it was twice the price in the store as online.  so she got the beatrix potter nursery rhyme book, and then a general nursery rhyme book.  it's fun to look through them at all the stories we heard as a child but have forgotten.  there is also a small package of jelly belly's, a scripture crown, and her baby by blessed doll.

i have been wanting her to have a baby be blessed doll since i knew i was pregnant with a girl!  she finally got one, and i absolutely LOVE it!  here is the scripture patch with her verse on it...

the scripture crown was a bonus, and it was pre-made, so i didn't choose this particular verse, but of course, how can you not love it?  :)

and the fun begins...

me and my sweet girl before church...

we had 3 services at our church sunday, and i will admit, i was dreading it a little bit.  i knew that things would probably be a little crazy, and i knew that we were short handed with volunteers, but God showed up, and the services were great!!

so thankful for my family!

here is austin with her gammy after church waiting on our table...

that night being silly with her new crown...

and last year with her basket... :)
