We had a great time celebrating Meredith's birthday a couple weeks ago with family and close friends. Meredith's friends came over and we made visors in preparation for Spring. The kids had a great time sticking stickers to their visors while the parents were busy peeling as fast as they could. We also had great food and Meredith was blessed to have received really great gifts. She loves her Curious George DVD from Cooper, her tutu from Cadie, some sidewalk chalk from Amelia, a swimming baby doll from Maddie, and some beautiful clothes from Spencer, IV, and Julianna. Also, her grandparents surprised her with some very cool outdoor toys. Nana and Kenny got Meredith her own Power Wheels Bug and her Granna and Papa got her a great tricycle! Needless to say, Meredith is ready to play! We were also thankful to have great weather so that the children could break out of being inside and run around outside. We are so appreciative of all the love and care that everyone has shown Meredith in the past two years. It is you all that are helping us shape and mold our little girl!
This Saturday morning at 10AM we went to our church, Emerywood Baptist Church, for the annual Easter Egg Hunt. Last year, we did not take Meredith because she was so young, but this year, she was able to attend! She was a little overwhelmed by the number of other bigger kids but once she caught on to how the whole egg hunt thing worked, we couldn't stop her! In fact, she was gathering so many, we started to have her tell us the colors of the eggs before she picked them up! This age is so much fun and we are really enjoying watching her experience new things. This week's focus, however, will be on the true meaning of Easter and the sacrifice that our Savior made so that we may be saved by grace and spend eternal life in Heaven with Him. To kick off this holy week, Meredith walked a palm down the aisle at church. We hope you all have a relaxing and reflective week!
