He Is Risen!

Happy Easter! We had a wonderful day of worship and fellowship. We got to church early because Edgar had to drive the carts, so Eli got ready at church. After church we rode with daddy while he drove everyone back to their car. I thought Eli should match his daddy-glasses, hat and all.

Eli and his cousins. I think Jennifer got some even better pictures. Don't they all look so cute?! I about started to cry when I saw Ben all dressed up. He's SO handsome! I think Eli looks like Ben when he was a baby...so here's hopin' handsome is in the future for Eli too :)

Eli's friend, Olivia (and mommy's friend, Christine). Eli doesn't look too thrilled, but it was the best picture of Christine and I...so, since we have tons of cute Eli pics, I thought I'd put a nice one of someone else :) Who am I kidding? Eli looks cute in this one too! Olivia must know when I am taking her picture...sound asleep in this one. I have such rotten luck getting pictures of her! She looked adorable in her little Easter dress! These two kiddos are sure to be buds growin' up!

I LOVE this picture of Eli with his Abuelo! I thought it was so cute! After church we headed over to Edgar's parent's house. We had a great afternoon hanging out with family and eating...and eating...and eating! Mom made tons of food-all fabulous, of course. There were 16 people there, and we were all stuffed at the end :)

Eli and his daddy

Eli 'discovered' Abuela's chair, and boy did he like spinning in it!

The other day I was going through all of my pictures since Eli's birth (ya know, all 2000 of them...yes, literally) and I realized that I didn't have one of Eric and Eli, so we remedied that today. Unfortunately, Eli was tired, and fairly cranky. We'll get a better one next time!

I thought this was a neat picture. There are four generations in this picture. It was so nice to see Edgar's grandfather. He seems to be doing really well.

She looks like a natural...

This was pretty cute...Katie sat next to Eli, and he immediately reached for her hand and held it. It was adorable.

Yup, Edgar and I are still in luv (awwwww...)

The super happy family

Hangin' out with the grandkids :)

Catchin' up to Katie!

What a good way to end the day-on Abuela's lap!

We had such a great Easter. It was so special to celebrate this day as a mother. I am so thankful for our little boy, and so incredibly thankful that he is surrounded by a family that loves him, and loves God. It is so good to know that Eli will grow up knowing about our Saviour, and that Easter won't be about egg hunts or Easter baskets (although he will get one ;) ) but about how God saved us. He continues to give very good gifts to His children!
