Easter Sunday

Eater Sunday was a bit more low key for us than Saturday was. We started the day at church. Jonah sat with us in "big church" and did really well. During worship he sat on Andrew's lap and angled his neck this way and that to try to see the choir, lights, and screens around the person in front of us. During the sermon he played with one of his new favorite toys (a plastic measuring spoon). He was in a good mood, but very vocal about how good he was feeling. His squeals and sighs and grunts forced Andrew to take him for a walk in the lobby. At least it was a better reason to take a walk than crying!! After church we headed home to see if the Easter Bunny had left anything for our little man.

He did!! Well, Gramma did. But Gramma equaled Easter Bunny this year. Her basket has been sitting on the counter for a week now. It's so nice that Jonah is too young to know about such things so I didn't have to go through the work of hiding it! Opening his basket didn't seem festive enough so I added some ears! I know he will hate me for these props later, but I have decided to let Future Vanessa deal with that! He got a few books, links and cups in his basket to play with. Yeah! More things to spread all around my living room!


After a nap we headed over to our friends house for our annual Easter potluck. The guys in the group are all grad students so we are all away from our families to be here in Iowa City. This Easter get together has been going for 4 years now and the Krohns host it every time. It is a fun tradition to have with our friends here, full of food, laughter and inside jokes. Everyone but us will be gone by next year at this time. So sad! Jonah dressed up a bit for the occasion and sported his "cappy" hat to dinner. (l to r: Melanie, Greg, Erik, Jen, Us)
