Happy Easter!

Well, Jacob's Easter break started on Thursday afternoon, but my didn't start until Friday afternoon. (Not that I actually get a break!) I did actually get off work a little after 3:00 that day though. We went to Olive Garden for my birthday dinner a week early. It was delicious of course. We used our last gift card from Christmas. You just can't beat a $10 meal at Olive Garden! After that we headed to Target so I could pick up the Karen Kingsbury book that I've been wanting and we also got Parks and Rec Season 2 on sale for $9.99 (Normally $32!) I even got Jacob to walk through the baby section with me!

We just got home from our weekend in Villa Grove. We left here early yesterday morning and headed home early this evening. We had a nice visit with the family!

We just hung out and watched a couple of movies in the afternoon. We started to watch the Cardinals game, but I ended up falling asleep for awhile. Before we had dinner, Jacob, Rachel and I walked over to Grandma Sally's to visit with her for about an hour and then back to the house again.

Brenda made Easter dinner last night instead of today, which I think we all enjoyed. I forgot my camera at home so no pictures of all of our delicious food!

After dinner we hung out and watched old home videos of Jacob and Rachel when they were little. Some of the things they said and did were absolutely hilarious!

I didn't sleep very well. I think I woke up once an hour, but I must've gotten enough, because I felt fine this morning when I got up. Jacob and I didn't go to the Sunrise Service, but everyone else did. Jacob was going to go to Casey's to get some coffee, so I asked him to bring me back a donut. Before he got back, Aunt Sarah came in carrying a giant plate of pastries for us from the Easter breakfast! I think I had consumed 1000 or more calories before 8:00am. So ashamed. Not to mention I ate more after the church service! We did a lighter lunch with leftover ham and then got a visit from the Easter Bunny.

Aunt Sarah gave us a basket of candy with an Olive Garden gift card (replenished our stock!). And Kent and Brenda got us candy and a Target card!

Baby Elam was not left out this weekend. He/She now has their first Cardinals outfit and PJ's.

Grandpa got a book for baby. And Aunt Sarah got a bunny pillow pet. Hope if it's a boy, he likes pink! Haha!

Also...this picture is random and not from this weekend, but it goes along with baby stuff. One of my co-workers had these made for us:

Everyone napped this afternoon except for me. I read half of my new book while everyone snoozed around me . I wanted to stay awake so I'll sleep well tonight!

Now we're home. Jacob still has tomorrow off, and I've got a "fun filled" day of work ahead of me.

Anyway...HAPPY EASTER everyone!
