Easter with the fam

Yesterday afternoon Matthew, Elijah and I went out to my dad's to visit some family. We couldn't stay long due to prior plans, but it was nice to get together with everyone, especially as (for once...) everyone was able to make it! I took some photos, so I'm going to post just a few of my favourites.

My dad did an Easter-egg hunt for the grandkids. It was cute, but I think Elijah is a little too young for it this year. He'll understand it a little better next year when he's 2 and a bit, rather than 15 months.

It was nice to see everyone though, especially my grand-dad who is visiting right now from England. It had been at least 2 months since I had seen everyone, when I was 7 weeks along and just telling them about being pregnant again, so of course I got a lot of comments about how huge I look. I know I do, but Matt thought it was funny to hear all of the stereotypical comments in the course of 1 minute, when we hadn't heard a single one so far in this pregnancy! I got everything from, "Either you're getting fat, or you're pregnant!" to, "Are you sure it's not twins?" I just laughed. Water off a duck's back, right?

Before I finish up, I have to post these last two photos. See, in a few weeks my brother-in-law, Rob, is getting married, and I wanted to test-drive Elijah's outfit for the wedding before the big day, and I thought, "What better time to dress him up than Easter Sunday?" So here's what he wore to church:

That's pretty much it for now. Just counting down the days to The Great Gender Reveal...I'm such a see-saw. Today I think it's a girl. I can't wait to know.

Aaaand now my little one is stirring. Gotta run!
