Easter Sunday

Raising Iowa Easter Sunday
Hope everyone had the happiest Easter!! We had such beautiful weather here and got to spend majority of the day outdoors. Our Easter egg hunt and brunch at the house was a success. The kids were so excited when they woke up to see what the Easter Bunny brought them. (Whom was outside hiding eggs at 11:00pm) and preparing the meal for the next day. This bunny is tired!

There were so many cute baskets and stuffed bunnies out there it was hard to resist, but in the end I'm glad I stuck to the plan and used the baskets from prior years and no stuffed animal rule. We. Have. Way. Too. Much. However Mee-Maw and Papa missed the memo apparently.  Oh well, the girls were so over the moon excited about their "quack quacks" that they skipped right over naps and played all afternoon long. An early bed time coming our way!

We are extremely blessed by such loving and supportive friends and family. I don't know what I would ever do without them, especially my Mama. She is such a blessing to me and my children. She's the best evidence of God's Love on earth, and that's what today is all about. The resurrection of Jesus Christ and the forgiveness of our sins. The selfless deeds and sacrifices we should make for one another every day.

He Is Risen. He Is Risen In Deed!

Easter Plans

Easter is such a special holiday and one of my absolute favorites! I love what it actually stands for, the forgiveness of our sins and eternal life with Jesus. Plus God gave us a great excuse to go out and buy a new dress, spend time with family and indulge! Three things I love the most.

I literally used to "pray" to the Easter Bunny as a little girl right after my prayers to God- God only knows what I was needing from an "Easter Bunny."  I've decided to keep the tales alive with my children because it was so much fun as a kid believing in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny. That being said, I will emphasize what the true meaning of the holidays are and center them around our Savior.

We hosted Easter brunch last year and I was thrilled at the chance to actually have everyone at our house for a change. It was nice letting the kids Easter egg hunt and hang out at home all morning. Since it went so well, I have decided to do it again this year.

I prefer Brunch over any other meal because there's so many options and who doesn't love having breakfast and dessert together? When ever I plan a party I usually create a board on Pinterest for inspiration and go from there. Stuffed croissants will be on the menu- they were a hit last year along with some fruit trays and hopefully a coconut bunny cake this year, Yum!

It's hard to believe it's just over a week away. In honor of Easter and throw back Thursday here are some pictures of my little bunnies!
