Abram's First Easter

I have come to the conclusion that holidays are just more exciting with kids! It is so fun to see everything through their eyes and see their excitement.  Even though Abram doesn't understand everything that is going on this year, it is so fun to make memories with him and to introduce him to our family traditions!  Chris and I had a great time watching Abe experience all his "firsts" during Easter- eating a chocolate egg, coloring eggs, hunting for his Easter basket, and finding eggs.

We thought Abe wouldn't be a fan of the Easter bunny (since he didn't like Santa), but since I was sitting with him, he  was okay!


I just love this sequence of pictures of Abe eating his first chocolate egg:

Not to sure what this thing is...

Biting in because Papa says it's good...


Looking at what's inside... 

He's a fan!!
We had some really sweet friends come over to celebrate Easter with us... We met the Risseeuw's because Chris and Phil are in Bible study together and they will be bringing home a little boy from China soon, too! We can't wait to meet David and have Abe and David play together!

Coloring eggs!


Coloring eggs with Alan, Caleb and Bethany!
Easter day consisted of digging through his Easter basket, hunting eggs, going to church in our new Easter outfit and eating lunch with some sweet friends from church!

On Easter morning, Abe was so excited to get out of bed and see his basket!

It took Abe awhile to figure out the concept of hunting Easter eggs, but he quickly caught on...






And here's a few pictures from Easter morning... 

Traditional family picture, but this year it is much sweeter with Abe!


Abe with his friends, Addison and Alina. They are just precious together!

Just so excited!! Love this boy!

We hope you and your family had a wonderful Easter, too, celebrating the resurrection of our Savior! He has Risen!!

  2. Stephanie, these pictures of Abe and your sweet comments bring tears to my eyes and joy to my heart. What a blessing that you are to each other and to so many with whom you are sharing your story. Love to all and a happy early birthday wish to you. And then Mother's Day. So much to celebrate - and you are right. Holidays are so much more special with children [even if it changes the way that you celebrate!] June
