Easter 2016

Happy Easter to you all! I hope you all enjoyed celebrating our Savior's resurrection. 

We were out of town for Easter and I had the best intentions of still making it a fun, family holiday. However, it all worked out different than I had planned since we spent the morning at the pediatric ER instead of at church. Elliot has been fighting a high fever since Wednesday and at first I wasn't too worried about it as Amelia just had the 3-day fever and it literally was gone after 3 days. But his just doesn't seem to go away and I assumed that it may be strep throat. And so did the doctor. After testing him twice, his results were still negative for the flu or strep. So we left the ER without any remedies and just hope that this fever will go down very soon. At least they served the kids some Popsicle while we were there.  

Instead of having a fancy ham dinner, we indulged in Firehouse Subs. The kids were really patient and never asked for their Easter baskets, so they were delighted to see that the Easter bunny stopped by after nap time to drop off some goodies for them.

The chocolate bunnies didn't stand a chance:

 

We even did a small Easter egg hunt outside before it started raining. Ready, set, go!

 

We finished the day off by blowing bubbles on the balcony, coloring our Easter pictures and playing a new memory game:

It may have not been the day I planned it to be, but it was what He had planned for us. So we trusted him and followed his lead. Honestly, I really didn't mind that it all turned out differently because we were all together as a family and that's what matters most to me.
