I've been sitting in church on Easter for years looking at all the little kids dressed in their Easter best and praying that one day I would have a little girl of my own to dress up for Easter Sunday. Getting Eden's Easter outfit together made me feel like such an adult. Buying her brand new white shoes that are just a little bit big on her right now so that she can wear them all summer felt like such a rite of passage as a mom.
Easter Sunday was everything I hoped it would be. Last Easter, Eden's first Easter, was, of course, extremely special. But I was more excited about this one - the one that she would participate in.
adorable-ness
The Easter bunny brought Eden beach stuff this year. A shovel and pail, beach toys, a new bathing suit...
Eden participated in her first Easter egg hunt at church on Sunday, and the girl was seriously born to hunt eggs. I thought I would have to walk along with her, pick up an egg and show her that it went in the basket, etc. Nope. The kids took off, Eden watched them for a second, then picked up her basket and took off after them. She saw an egg, shouted "ball", put it right into her basket and proceeded to fill that basket up!
When she didn't see any more eggs on the ground, she walked straight up to a big ol' three year old boy and tried to steal eggs out of his basket!
After church we spent the day at my Granny and Pops' house with my dad's side of the family. Dustin boiled crawfish. We ate and ate and ate. We took pictures in the bluebonnets. We relaxed. It was a great afternoon.

Eden is obsessed with her cousin Rylen. She can't stay away from him. She wants to touch him, hold him, hug him... Never mind the fact that at five months he is seriously almost as big as her, she tries to pick him up when he's laying on the floor. It's so precious.
hahahahaha!
