My first favorite thing I'm going to write about is family. I love family, and spending time with them... I think that's just the way I was brought up to be. My immediate and extended family have always spent holidays, birthdays, and important milestones together, and this weekend was no different. My best friend and cousin Alex came home for Easter and we spent the whole weekend together pretty much. She got home Thursday night, so I spent the night with her and of course we talked for a while before going to sleep like we have always done ever since I can remember. Our conversations have just gotten more mature, but still include talks about our weddings and babies and every girly thing in between :) Friday, we hung out with her family and boyfriend, and then Saturday we were my aunt's helpers at Arlington's Easter egg hunt.
Sunday was Easter and after church everyone came for lunch at Alex's house and all of the grandkids hunted for Easter eggs like we do every year :) All in all, it was a good weekend and it included one of my favorite things, family.

I am so thankful that we get to celebrate Easter as Christians, and I realize that this holiday is not about Easter eggs or candy. It's about our Savior who loves us so much that He would rather die for us than live without us! He is risen! 1 Peter 1: 3, Matthew 28: 5-6
