Easter is one of our favorite holidays. It’s reverent like Christmas, but much more laid back since there is no pressure to get people gifts, and usually the family gathering is slightly smaller.

My brother and sister-in-law came to Waco for the holiday and finally got to meet Baker for the first time.

Much like he did for the Super Bowl, my dad made a special cake for Easter.

Yes, that is Jesus coming out of the tomb, thumbs up. He put the Jesus action figure on a motorized belt and also motorized the tomb door so when he hit a switch, the door opened and out came the resurrected Lord and Savior, thumbs up. It’s actually pretty awesome. The crosses were made out of PowerBars and 85% of the thing was actual cake.

My dad is ridiculous.

Kristin had the genius idea to put Baker in his Easter basket. I wasn’t in full support at first, but after seeing the pictures, I had to agree they are just about as cute as they can be.

I like this one because it’s like Baker is saying, “What are you guys doing to me?”

Here, he just looks like he’s sitting in a hot tub, chillin’.

He’s pretty handsome.

Finally, the big day arrived and we got lots of good pictures with the fam.

It was a great Easter!
