it makes sense that before you have a baby you venture a conversation or two about family traditions. in fact, i'd recommend it.
celebrating holidays with a tiny human of our own has forced these conversations and over the past month got cody and i talking about how the other celebrated this particularly sacred holiday. turns out, everyone celebrates a little differently!
(ok, i'm really not that close-minded.)
the conversation started when as i was scrolling pottery barn looking for the perfect easter basket. you'd think getting an easter basket would be a non-issue. but, cody didn't have easter baskets (or remember having them) when he was little. i did. cody hunted for goodies, not just eggs with both sides of his family. i did not. cody went to church on easter morning and overate that afternoon. i did too. and so goes the fun task of blending various family traditions.
despite the chilly weather carson's first easter was one to remember. it all started with a dinner at my mom's on saturday afternoon and was followed by a sunday full of family, candy, Jesus, and more candy. good thing easter and halloween are so far apart!
we started our day at 5:45 am. carson clearly wanted to meet the easter bunny (see below) but i assured him that the bunny wouldn't come until at least 6:30 am. clearly he didn't care.
after second breakfast carson was dressed, loaded and headed for church. after chuch (and pictures) he took a 40 minute catnap before waking and diving into his basket. at some point later we made it to the floor for play time with cousin caleb before the egg hunt and road trip home. he was most definitely a tired boy and slept the whole way, only waking up once.
it was a glorious holiday weekend and one that made me especially thankful for all of my blessings.
