Jeremiah's First Easter!

We had a wonderful Easter weekend!  We celebrated the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ, and teaching Jeremiah about this special day.  I have to admit, I tend to over-do-it for holidays, but I get so excited for Jeremiah to experience everything!  We started out our weekend with a fun egg hunt at the Taste of Forsyth at the Cumming Fairgrounds.  We had a fabulous time, and I think it will become a tradition to attend each year!



Jeremiah was worn out after the egg hunt!
Once we left the Cumming Fairgrounds, we went to The Avenue in search of the Easter Bunny!  We found him, and we were so excited, because their wasn't a line!  For the first time ever, Jeremiah showed that he was scared of something - the Easter Bunny!  He looked at him, let out a little scream, and buried his head in my chest!  About a minute later, he had warmed up to the Easter Bunny, and he wanted to "pet" him!


On Easter morning, we enjoyed all of our Easter goodies, went to church, and had a delicious dinner and Grandma and Poppy's!  Jeremiah had 4 Easter baskets!  He is one blessed baby!  He received spring clothes, a soft lamb, books, a couple froggy toys, a beach bag with his name on it, a towel with his name on it, a bathing suit, a couple bunnies, sand toys, Mickey Mouse rattle and lovie, and a sock monkey toy!  Out of everything, the plastic eggs are his favorite!


Easter pajamas!
Our crazy Easter table!  Mommy and Daddy received some goodies too!
Spending some time remembering Jonathon after church.

Jeremiah went straight for Mickey!
Checking everything out!
We had a very blessed day, and we are so thankful that Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected.  He paid the ultimate penalty for our sins, so we may all have eternal life.  We are so blessed!  Happy Easter!!
