Ellen's First Easter

This past weekend was Easter weekend.  Easter is always a special time to remember the sacrifice that Jesus Christ made for all of us.  He died so that we may live.  It is a time to stop our busy lives to celebrate and remember our risen Savior!

This year was extra special because it was Ellen's first Easter!  We were lucky enough to be able to spend time with both of our families.  Ellen got lots of love! 

On Saturday we headed over to Chelsey's house for the whole day.  Mom and Dad were in town for the weekend.  We enjoyed playing and napping with Ellen.  She was also spoiled with lots of Easter gifts.  Ellen was never put down the whole day.  If Mom and Chelsey are around you know where to find Ellen.  It's so cute!


The weather was beautiful so we enjoyed lots of time out on the deck in the sun.  In the evening Chelsey and Pat made a wonderful dinner.  It was such a treat to have a nice meal.  :) 



We spent a lot of Saturday trying to get Ellen to give us her first social smile.  She was happy but never smiled. 

My sweet little bunny!  This is the cuties onesie! 



On Sunday we all went to church together at Christ Community.  Ellen got to wear her new Easter dress from Chelsey.  It was a beautiful service.




 











After church we packed up and headed down to Lincoln to spend time with Drew's family.  We headed to Roca Road for appetizer and family time. 



We had an adult egg hunt.  The eggs had gift cards inside.  :)




One very special moment of our time at Roca Road was Ellen gave Grandma her first social smile!





In the afternoon we headed to the Knolls for a wonderful buffet with Grandma and Grandpa Papik.  There was tons of yummy food!  It was Ellen's first trip to a restaurant.

 
It was a wonderful Easter weekend.  I can only imagine how much fun next Easter will be!
