Easter 2015

    

Easter this year was fairly low key for our family. We stayed in KC (this year, my family gets Easter and Christmas, while we'll spend 4th of July and Thanksgiving with the Duvall side), so we had plans to go to my parents. For those of you who don't know, my mom is a critical-care nurse on the night shift. Growing up, we got pretty good at being flexible when it came to meal times on holidays. This year was no different with my mom having worked the night before.

At 26 and 30, my mom is still fabulous and makes my brother and me (plus Ben now!) Easter baskets. This year they just had candy and a gas card in them - perfect! I forgot to snap a picture before deconstructing it to take it home! Pictured above are the baskets I made for Ben and my mom. Ben and I said we weren't going to make each other baskets this year, but I couldn't help it!!! This was a cute, little thing I found at Target. 

The biggest, and most exciting thing about Easter was that my college roommate, Ally, and her husband asked Ben and me to be her daughter, Aniston's, God parents!!! Ben and I are so honored to be asked to play such an important role Aniston's life. Ally and I have been friends for about seven years; we were in each-others weddings, and now this... I am so thankful for this friendship. Ben and I will be traveling to visit them in Warsaw, MO so that we can be present at Aniston's blessing in the near future! I told Ally that this means Aniston is half mine, so all of you guys should be prepared for pictures and posts about her!! :)
