Happiest happy Easter

We had such a happy week here. For soo many different reasons.

Jake had to go to school for the week to do a little continuing education that his job sent him too. This means I got to cut out of work early every day to spend more time with Ellamae. We did all sorts of fun stuff like take lots of walks, jumped and danced to mom's music (we listened to the kind daddy doesn't care for- musical soundtracks and big band records), and read lots of books. Also it was the best because Jake would get done with school and be home in time for supper so the three of us had every night together. I got to plan meals that took a little bit of more time to prepare and I have to say, I actually loved it. Did I mention that Ellamae and I took a nap every day (yes both of us). (( can't tell you how much i enjoyed that))

We went to church Maundy Thursday and Good Friday all leading up to that happy Easter morning. Jake did have the whole weekend off so I was extra happy. I also got some painting in this week. Yeh!

Side note: Ella seems to be growing up so much. It is bittersweet but I honestly love her more everyday. It will be so fun to be experiencing a new season with her and I can't wait to get some sidewalk chalk out and play with her in the sand at the beach!

We were lucky to have time with both sides of our family over the weekend. It was the perfect day to eat our guts full. It's nice when you hop around from family to family because you get to eat amazing meals at every stop. (Especially when they cook like my mom) Ellamae got spoiled of course (baby's first Easter) she received some books, sand toys and some adorable outfits. Also the softest stuffed bunny. Jake and I got a little candy And flowers for ourselves (well the flowers were for me)
But of course The best thing we received from this happiest Easter week is the resurrection of Christ which means a happily ever after for real in heaven one day. Alleluia! He's risen and we will rise too!
I hope you had a happiest happy Easter too!
