Your First Easter

Dear Sweet Baby Charlotte,

Your first Easter was spring perfection.

Saturday afternoon, Daddy played his annual spring concert at Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, which was absolutely beautiful.

On Saturday evening, your grandmas and grandpas and your uncle Dave, Aunt Michelle, and your cousins Ellie and Maddie joined our family of 4 at our church, St John's Episcopal Church to welcome you into the Episcopal church and be baptised in the name of Jesus.  What a perfect, wonderful evening we spent in the candlelight outside the church.  Your godparents, Lewis and Lindsay Cassada held you while you wiggled through the service and the warm evening breeze blew.

We took home a tired baby, who went right to sleep, and while you slept, the Easter bunny brought you and your sister your baskets.  You were pretty much oblivious to your easter bounty but your sister is still trying to understand that some things are "hers" and some things are "Baby Charlotte"s.. and soon you will start the great debating.  Right now, you could care less if she plays with your toys and books, which is nice.

Sunday during the day was warm and sunny, so we decided to skip the parade and have a lazy Sunday at the park.  It was great hanging out as a family.  We love you so, Charlotte.

-Mama.
