Easter Weekend

This past weekend was pretty perfect.

The weather is starting to really express the fact that it is now Spring. 

We have a cute little park in our neighborhood (that has a bouldering rock! Ryan is excited) and we decided to take a little walk with Maya to sit on the swings and enjoy the sun. We made sure to cover her in sunscreen. As much as I love peeling things, I do not want sweet Maya to get a sunburn! I would feel awful.

As you can see, Maya did not seem to get as much pleasure from swinging as we did! She sure was content though. I imagine she will grow up to love the outdoors and someday I will have her begging me to take her to the park (can't wait!).

Later that day we ran a few errands. Maya is pretty much the most chill baby ever. We were gone for about 4 hours, and she didn't get cranky at all - even though she more or less missed a nap. Ryan and I go on and on about how blessed we are to have her kind of temperament in our first baby.

Easter morning we got up bright and early (I literally watched the sunrise from my chair in Maya's nursery) and went to church with my family in Fort Collins. It was really nice to see friends from that ward. We realized it has been a whole year and a half since we moved to Erie! It is so amazing how quickly time passes while you're living life.

After church we came back to my parents' home for a tasty lunch and Maya took a nice long nap.

After her nap we took some family Easter pictures. I love how much Ryan is in love our daughter. He is so hands-on with her. I am truly blessed to have such a great husband to be the father of my children.

 

I'm a little in love with Maya, too. She is the joy of every moment during my day.

And judging by her sweet kisses and hugs, I'm pretty sure this darling girl loves us back!

I love these shots of Maya with my parents! They're pretty great with her!

Maya also got her first Easter basket! She loved the bunny inside! 

For dinner we joined Ryan's siblings. We had tasty food and good conversation. We always enjoy getting to spend time with them.

And just to prove that she DOES smile (I don't know why it's so hard to get her to do it for the camera)....

Ryan was playing with her. She loves her yellow giraffe from Grandma Carolyn!

Happy Easter!!
