Aaron and I had a very busy and wonderful Easter weekend. Friday evening started out with dinner at TGIFridays with Andrew. He and a whole bunch of others from our former church in Germantown were in Nashville for the annual Lads to Leaders convention at the Opryland Hotel. After dinner we all went over to the convention and cheered on the
youth at the ceremony before heading back to the apartment to watch The Office and House. On Saturday morning I headed to Opry Mills to meet up with Maggie (also here for the convention). We had a yummy lunch at Johnny Rockets followed with some fun shopping. I had a blast getting to spend some much needed time with her! After a while I had to cut our visit short so I could head home and pack up the car to head to Memphis. This was the 1st year since I can remember that our family has not celebrated Easter in Nashville… but this year my mom decided to host Easter at her house. It worked out well because it meant that I also got to see my handsome little nephew on his 1st Easter. Friday night we spent with the Howells eating BBQ (how Memphisy) and just spending time together. Most of the time I was just holding and loving on precious Ethan. Krystle and I did break away from the others for a little while to do a little bit of shopping, which was a lot of fun.
After church on Sunday morning Aaron and I took quick family pictures with the Howells before heading over to my parents’ house for our little Easter celebration. We had a big group of family and friends with plenty of food. Somehow we all squeezed around one big table. We also celebrated my brother’s big 25 bday with some yummy cherry pie. After we were all extremely full we gathered in the living room for James’ very own Easter egg hunt. We had a very wonderful time! Happy Easter!
