Easter 2015

We had a wonderful Easter celebration this year. I am loving how the kiddos are getting older and we are enjoying our traditions more and more. One of our traditions is to make resurrection rolls for Easter. They are bread baked with marshmallows and cinnamon. When the bread is done, the marshmallows have vanished, leaving the empty tomb. A yummy way to be reminded that Jesus is risen!

yummy resurrection rolls

I LOVE easter baskets....and so did the kiddos!!! :)


Samuel's first Easter basket

the paper grass is much more exciting than the gifts! ;)

my loves!


We had attended church at Neighborhood the evening before Easter. We were able to enjoy a family Easter morning and then went to Grandma and Papa's house for Easter lunch and to celebrate Easter with the Enns' family later on.

Samuel James is 6 months!

This little guy had a big month! He is changing so quickly, it's hard to keep up! First of all he had his very first haircut! I can't believe how much hair he has, and it was getting tangles...so that's why momma needed to cut it. Here are the pictures:
 



Ally was very concerned that it would hurt Samuel...she wanted to be there to comfort him. :)


  
The 'after'...such a handsome little baby!
 Then....one day while the big kids were sleeping, I had some one on one time with my baby. The light was hitting him well, so I busted out the camera and got some pretty pictures of my blue eyed boy.




yup...this is my favorite....he should be a baby model! :) so so so cute!!!



And then Ryan woke up so I got some cute little "brother' pictures 




Samuel LOVES Ryan...always laughing at whatever he does!

 The other first we had this month was his first experience with baby food! He got some brown rice cereal mixed with mommy's milk...he enjoyed it!






And then here are some pictures we got of him before church one day: 


   
I mean...really!! :)
 And now for the monthly pictures....my little guy is just getting so big! Love him to pieces!




he loves to laugh!


melt my heart, sweet boy!



And then some matchy matchy brother pictures! 


Ryan truly is amazing with Samuel...so sweet, patient and kind...even when he gets poked by him! :)

Then...Ally woke up and joined in on the fun! 


my heart! 

Samuels 6 month stats:
weight: 19lbs 3 oz

So thankful for each day with this little man. He is so so so much fun with his cheerful personality and sweet kisses!
