Happy Easter from the Braden family!

We were planning a trip to Houston to visit my family for Easter. We had to pack ALOT to take to make sure Kase was comfortable for the trip. The back of the Highlander was packed to the brim. We actually remembered to pack every thing that we needed. After packing Chris and I were very tired. So Kase and I took a little nap on the couch.

Chris had to work on Good Friday so Kase and I drove to pick him up. To give Kase a little break from the car we went into the office to visit my work friends. We were able to show Kase off to a few people that were around on Friday. Alot of Chris' work friends were off already to celebrate the holiday. We headed out to Mimi's and made by about 7pm. Kase was very tired of being in the car by the time that we made it there. I was too.

Saturday morning we woke up and took Kase's 1 month pictures (even though he's officially 5 weeks). They change so much so my goal is to have pictures taken as often as I can. Of course I'm going to take some snap shots but its fun to have professional ones taken too. After pictures we ended up meeting my dad for lunch at the Olive Garden, then went over to Karen and John's for a family get together. (John is one of David's Nephews) There were a bunch of people around and Kase got to hang out with his cousin Hayden.

Sunday morning we went to Easter church. Kase did very well at church. We gave him a bottle when we first got there. Then during the service some very loud speaker feed back occurred it really scared him. He then fell asleep. I would say that he enjoyed his first Easter even though it was raining and we didn't get to have the first Easter egg hunt. We'll save that for next year :).
The Easter bunny brought Kase a cute little outfit and an ipod at mommy and daddy's house. Then at Mimi's the Easter bunny brought some cute little rattles and a silly bunny that played music and moved his ears. The bunny made him cry at first then later he thought it was kind of funny. One of these days I'll post a video to show his reaction to the bunny when I can figure out how to do it. He also got his first bible and a cute puppy rattle at Gran's the week before.

Over all it was a long weekend and Kase was very tuckered when we got home. Is is off of his schedule and been up about every 2 hours. We are working on getting back on his schedule today and hopefully will be back on his 4 hour schedule by tomorrow.

The Braden Family wishes every one a very Blessed Easter. We are so blessed in our family and there is no better time to remember that then during Easter holiday when we remember the best gift of all. Christ's Sacrifice.
