Easter Sunday

I love Easter because of the reminder it is of rebirth - and what better time for it than Spring! It's so beautiful outside with all of the daffodils and tulips out, and the buds on the trees. It was an exciting day for us because Alex was called as the Young Men's President in our ward. I think that calling has to be the most perfect calling ever for Alex. He's going to be so awesome.

When we got home from Church, Nicole got to open her Easter basket. She was in heaven playing with her wiffle balls (perfect for those little fingers to hold onto)! I think her favorite part was when Alex started juggling the balls - she was laughing like it was the funniest thing she'd ever seen. That night we enjoyed a fancy, delicious Easter dinner with some friends. What a great day!

On a side note - I made Nicole's basket with the help of my friend, Mindy, and I love it! After hauling around the Bernina sewing machine I inherited from my Great Aunt for 5 years, this was the motivation to get it fixed. It was missing a piece, and there's a great shop close by, called Steve's, that had the piece I needed. That night I got to work and made this basket. I had forgotten how much I enjoy sewing!
