Every Easter no matter how warm it is, there is always the Easter snap as my mother calls it. On Easter morning it was very cool in Alexandria. Although I was not able to attend church services due to just having a baby two weeks prior, I was still very excited about Easter. My family believes strongly in me and the baby staying in the house for at least 6 weeks only making exceptions for doctor's appointments. I was excited about getting Kaelyn all dolled up for church. She had the most beautiful dress made by Cinderella (a Dillard's original brand). It was the ultimate little girls dress. The dress was Ivory with three blush pink rose ensembles about the was with ribbon dripping from each rose. I place gorgeous ribbon in her hair and place on her Ivory stride rite Maryjane shoes to top it off.
Although I was unable to get up and get dressed I was ecstatic about seeing her all dolled up with her Easter basket ready to attend church with her grandma. She was a doll indeed. After church she was changed into her after church attire to attend Easter festivities with her father. She had a blast. This was definitely true for the night before Easter as well. The night before Easter we put Jaxon to bed and Kaelyn, my mom, and I dyed eggs until Kaelyn made the biggest mess possible. This is what I remember most about Easter and I wanted her to have the same fond memories of this day and its true meaning the resurrection of Christ.

Narita,
Congrats on the healthy baby! Shouldn't we always rejoice in answered prayer!?
I remember the days of getting dressed for Easter and feeling like a little princess. How sweet your baby girl must have looked! This was our first year dressing the babies for Easter. What a joy it was!!! I absolutely love having grandchildren. They remind you how much fun you really did have raising your own kids!
All the best...
