semana santa part III

Happy Easter! We've had a great day celebrating our new life in Christ and remembering that exactly one year ago we found out that I had a precious new life growing inside of me. =)

Here is a picture of Suzy in her Easter outfit... this was actually MY outfit waaaay back when, and it does have a little bunny on it even though you may not be able to see it. It's weird...the outfit is almost to small for Suzy, but the hat was way too huge...does that mean i had a big head as a baby???We didn't have an Easter basket for Suzy (although ENanny and Granddaddy sent some fun easter books and socks!) but I pulled out some new stuffed animals for Suzy to feel and play with today. So, I guess that technically counts as an Easter present since she'd never played with them, right? She loved the softness.

I really enjoyed today because we don't have any traditions for celebrating Easter, but today we celebrated with our dear friends Rafa and Sarah. They had us over for lunch and an amazing dessert (I love going over to their house...we always know there will be some kind of awesome dessert involved!) In general, we pretty much finished up our holiday weekend eating good food and drinking good coffee. Yesterday we went to a cookout with some of Elvis's friends from work, then the 3 of us went out for coffee. And Elvis made us some yummy fish tacos for dinner with homemade mango salsa and guacamole. MMM! Oh, and I tried a new fruit yesterday...mamey. I'd had it before in homemade icecream, but never just the fruit. I have no idea what it is called in english, but it was a yummy mix of mango and peach i would say.

So, yesterday when we went to get coffee at an outdoor mall, we saw a bizarre thing. They have this new kids' activity at the mall...it's these big blow-up balls that the kids actually get inside to walk around, as if they were hamsters...and all of this in a pool. It's crazy. And looks like a lot of fun! We can't figure out how they breathe inside there yet, but I just had to show you this:

Now, I'm just listening to the rain (yes...rain! what a nice surprise!) and will be enjoying tomorrow off also, although Elvis has to go back to work. Hope you all have enjoyed today with friends and family.
