Weekend/Easter recap 2012

This last weekend, we got to celebrate my cousin's daughter's first birthday.  Olivia and Ryder are exactly 1 year apart.  Her birthday is April 7.  This little girl could not be more precious!
 My cousin Heather was in town from Idaho and so she got to meet Eden and we got some good connecting time.  We wish she lived closer... We love her so...
 My mom bought the girls matching dresses for Easter.
Eden looked like the cutest little cupcake.
(note, she is not happy when we decided to do a photo shoot when all she wanted to do was cuddle with her Mia)
 The girls:
Sunday was a wonderful celebration of a risen Jesus.
Prior to getting to the fairgrounds, Ryder and I spent the morning during breakfast listening to the Jesus Storybook Bible on CD on the death and resurrection of Christ.  Ryder really enjoyed it!
(I think I will try to incorporate the audio on a regular basis...)
We spent our Easter service at the Orange County fairgrounds, and Kit's parents, brother Ethan, and his girlfriend Mallory came down from Santa Maria to join us.
We picked Ryder up from the kids area a little early so that he could watch the baptisms with us.  I always cry, it's such a powerful time...

Thank you for hanging with Ryder when he was sad.  How good it is to have friends like you!
 
Then we headed to our house for some lunch and some easter fun.  We colored eggs and decorated cookies with Ryder.  He was so excited! 
 
Thank you all for making this such a fun family filled weekend!
We love you all!
