The Sunday before Easter we celebrated with Jake's family since they would all be out-of-town on Easter. Madison had an Easter basket from her Granny & Pa, and she got to play with her cousins!
Easter morning, Madison looked her at Easter basket from the Easter Bunny... she wasn't really excited about it, but I think next year will be fun :) She will also get to hunt Easter eggs next year!
We went to church at Rock Springs & Madison was so good during the service. Then we went to my parents' house for lunch. Madison opened her presents from Mimi & Papa, and she really liked her sunglasses!
Of course the day didn't go without any hiccups... Madison threw up in the car on the way to church. Luckily I was able to catch most of it in a blanket instead of it getting on her pretty new Easter dress!
We had such a great day spending time with family! We ate at my Gigi's house for an early supper, and I absolutely love how close the "Williams family" is! Every time we get together (which is pretty often), it's all of the aunts, uncles, and cousins. It gets a little hectic & loud at times, but I love it! I'm so glad Madison is able to grow up with that because there aren't many extended families who experience that kind of closeness.
As Madison gets older, I want to make sure she knows the real meaning of Easter and what it represents. The easter baskets, egg hunts, and family dinners are great & fun, but none of that compares to the real meaning behind Easter. It's a celebration of Jesus dying for our sins & being resurrected. I hope everyone had a great Easter and got to spend time with their loved ones, but take a minute and reflect on what the meaning behind Easter means to you & say a prayer of thanks.
