Palm Sunday

Yesterday was our family "Easter Day" but today we will be celebrating Easter with my parents! I have such a loving family for everyone to have put in such effort for me! We took Colette for her first Palm Sunday mass to CTK. She loved holding the palm and processing around the church with the congregation!

We went from there to my parents where we did all of our Easter baking. With our family, traditions as crucial as baked goods cannot be given up, despite one's work schedule. I made coconut cluster bird's nests while my dad made his Easter Cross cake.I even tried a new recipe-bird's nest brownies!


We then headed over to St. Albert's for their annual Easter Egg Hunt! I had expected a small gathering with a few hidden eggs but it turned out to be such a special treat for our family. It almost brought me to tears with all of its Easter glory that it brought to my family, especially since I wouldn't get to be at Colette's first Easter. Colette got to meet the Easter bunny-which she was pretty indifferent about honestly! Then we went through the Easter Egg Forest to gather our eggs...













Lastly, Colette got to meet a REAL bunny! This thing was so cute-and Colette was so scared!


Once we had moved on from the scary animal all was well and we proceeded on to have lunch with all her cousins! It was such a fun and special day to spend with my "favorite baby out of the belly" as I call her!
