Brady was able to take the weekend off from work; it was such a blessing to be able to celebrate the resurrection of our Savior as a family! We started our family weekend off early with a 6:45 AM wake-up call from the princess! The great news was that we got to enjoy a FABULOUS breakfast Saturday morning at Rain Uptown - I highly recommend their French Toast. OMGosh! After we finished our toast and eggs, we headed over to St. Luke's Southwest church to see the Easter bunny. What a cool ministry idea! They had hundreds of kids there for face paining, balloon animals, craft projects, cupcake decorating, and the telling of Easter story! On our way out the door, we plopped Emerson down in the middle of the eggs for a quick photo.
We spent the rest of Saturday working in the yard. We recently pulled up all of the shrubs from our flowerbeds along the front of the house and cleared out all of the old mulch. We made a few stops for plants and another couple for mulch. What a day!!! :)
Sunday was wonderful, too! We started off by attending the worship service at Southcrest. What a phenominal service it was! :) We were blessed by a powerful message and Emerson did great through the whole thing. We headed to Grandma's house for Easter lunch and fun with our Easter basket! It was such a blessing to be spending such an important day celebrating as a family!
The best news of the day, by far, is that we serve a risen Lord! What a great feeling of security and peace. Our Savior LIVES!
