Christ has died, Christ is Risen, Christ will come again, Hallelujah!
Happy Easter, everyone! To celebrate the Resurrection of Christ, the Acostas enjoyed a great Sunday together, especially because Julian had the day off (can I get an AMEN?!). The day started with cartoons in bed, followed by a homemade french toast casserole. Then we quickly got ready for church...after all, Jesus is the reason for the season celebration (yeah, that doesn't rhyme...). After the Easter Sunday mass at St. Thomas Aquinas, we went to lunch at Cheddars, as is now an Easter tradition...haha!
And then it was time for the 2nd Annual Acosta Easter Egg Hunt! Jillian was a lot more into into it this year than last year. It is so fun to witness holidays now through your child's eyes!
Julian hid the eggs and Jillian and I went hunting for them. We searched high and low, and Jillian had so much fun spotting them and then sticking them in her Easter basket.
Also this year, her eggs were filled with yummy snacks, like goldfish, Teddy Grahams, fruit snacks, and raisins, so Jilly was in heaven!
We then gave her the Easter baskets she got this year, filled with lots of goodies, like books, flash cards, a chalk board, and bubbles, of course! She also got an Easter basket from Granny Julie filled with clothes, eggs, and bows!!!
Because the day was so pretty, we decided to play outside. After switching out of our Easter dresses and into a "Happy Hoppy Easter" shirt (thanks, Granny!), we went outside to play with sidewalk chalk and bubbles.
But, when the Easter bunny left baskets, he also left a new water table for Jilly! So we built that and Jillian went to town, splashing around and getting soaking wet!
Then, it was inside for a late nap while Mommy and Daddy worked on a DIY project (post to come soon!). We ended our perfect day with steaks and shrimp on the grill.
We had an amazing day today and enjoyed every second of our Easter Sunday! Hope you all had a blessed and family-filled day, too!
