Happy Easter!

He is risen, He is risen indeed! Happy Easter everyone! I pray that you all know our resurrected Jesus!
We had a very good weekend. Shane had Friday off, so he we went to Oxford for a chiro appointment for me, then on to the outlet mall! We spent a few hours there looking for Emma some summer clothes, pj's, swimsuit and shoes. She came home with lots of clothes, a swimsuit and only 1 pair of shoes, her size is very hard to come by! On our way home, we stopped off at the mall and Target. We found Shane a few shirts for work, me a pair of shoes, and Emma some more clothes. I also picked up Emma's Easter basket stuff while her and Shane went and got ice cream! We made it home just in time for me to put everything away and vacuum real fast before our friends came over for cards, they also brought dinner and dessert...it was such a blessing! Emma didn't have one moment of crabbiness all day long, and sat in her high chair and 'played' cards while we did.
Saturday, we just relaxed and hung out at home most of the day. Then today, we went to church. When we got home, I went into the house first and put eggs around the house and set Emma's Easter basket out. When Emma came in, I handed her her little bunny bag and told her to find the eggs...you didn't have to tell her twice, she went straight for the eggs and started filling her bag up. When she got to her basket she was super excited! We then fired up the grill for the first time this season and grilled hot dogs and brauts...very yummy! We all played for awhile, then Emma went down for a nap. I then worked on some sewing, while Shane headed to the basement to work on some stuff. It was a very good day, we enjoyed just being together! Below are some pictures from the week and today!

Emma 'camped' out by my ironing board while I worked. She was reading a book, on one of the pages is a duck, so she had to get up and go find some of her ducks!

Emma looking so grown up and beautiful!

Emma 'measuring' just like daddy! Its cute, every time Shane gets out his tape measure, Emma runs to the junk drawer and wants mine so she can be just like daddy!

Saturday morning, Emma played 'fashion show' while we tried on all her new clothes to make sure they fit. Last to try on was her swimsuit, and good thing, because she didn't take it off for over 2 hours!

It has cute ruffles on the butt!

Saturday, while Shane was browsing craigslist, he came across in ad for a white kids table with 4 chairs, we have been looking for one. He called the number, and the lady was actually only a couple of blocks away, so he went and checked it out and bought it for $25...it was a great deal! It shows some wear and had lots of markings on it, but all of the markings came off and the table looks great! Emma is really enjoying it! She definitely got spoiled this weekend!
I had to tease Shane that God has a funny sense of humor, because just 2 days before, Shane showed me an ad on craigslist for a wood kids table with 2 chairs that was the light wood color for $35 in iowa city, and I told him no, I didn't like that color and would prefer white, and that we needed 4 chairs, not 2...he told me I was way to picky when it came to buying used and would never find exactly what I want...ha ha!

She was so happy!

Emma's Easter basket. It was filled with a little puppy that looks like our neighbor's dog Rusty that Emma just loves! As soon as she saw it in the basket she grabbed it and screamed 'Rusty'! She also got candy, a wood puzzle, 2 Berenstain Bear books, and play jewelry.

Looking like such a big girl in clip-on earrings!

The jewelry set was the Little Mermaid, and the necklace had a button that when you pushed it, Ariel would sing...this is Emma singing along with it!

Me and Emma (Emma is singing in this picture as well!)
