After a snowy weekend in Missouri, I was looking forward to our next weekend at the beach! This year we all celebrated Easter on the sand. We were all looking forward to a weekend full of celebrating our Lord, enjoying the sun and eating tons of sea food! And we succeeded on all accounts!
We stayed with Carrie at Mom and Dad's house while Sissy stayed with Grandma. Saturday the boys found the golf course (surprise) and the girls did a little shopping and lunch on the beach. That night we all had dinner at one of our favorites! Sunday, we woke up and Morgan found her Easter Basket to see what the Easter Bunny had left. And then Mom showed her the dress she made for her. I don't know which Morgan loved more, the dress or the shoes or purse! She was beautiful!
We all went to Grandma's church to celebrate the reason we were there...a wonderful Easter morning. Carrie and I were thrilled to sing our favorite Easter hymn, "He Lives"! After church we had lunch at Grandma's house. She had already hidden eggs around the house and Morgan had so much fun finding them. I think she liked the candy and coins inside the eggs the best!
After lunch Carrie filled a promise she made to Morgan. For weeks now, Morgan has been talking about remembering how her Aunt Carrie hid eggs for her last Easter. One day she realized we would be at the beach and wanted her to hide eggs on the sand. What a fun idea! When we called Carrie to ask if she would, Morgan told her we would have to find them fast or the crabs would get them! Ha! We finished up our lunch and walked down to the sand where Morgan and Carrie went on their hunt. It was too sweet!
Jeff had to head back home that afternoon, but Morgan and I were able to stay a few more days. Monday we finally made it to the beach in our bathing suits and got to enjoy the beautiful weather. I just love that my girl loves the beach as much as I do. I hope that our new baby loves it too... but I don't think he or she will have much choice!
It was hard to leave our warm sun to head back north to the chilly weather in Tupelo, but we'll be back soon!!
My sweet girl on Easter morning...the Easter Bunny brought her first Barbie!
