Easter Sunday 2018 | Mom Life

Cheers to another year to celebrate Easter! New beginnings to everyone and most importantly a new beginning to be closer to the Lord.

To be honest, my relationship with Christ has been changed ever since my brother passed away. I was dealing with my own personal grieving differently from how my family took it. This made me pray less, look answers away from our Lord and stopped hearing mass. I know it was really bad since my parent’s raised us believing and praising Jesus. But challenges in my life made me make decisions that I thought was best at that time.

4 years after, and 2 kids later I finally moved on from my anger and accepted the fact that everyone needs faith. I tried my best in holding onto my faith not just for myself but for my kids. I did not want to raise them without the understanding of how important it is to have faith. So we started going back to church, praying before meals and praying together before I take them to bed. It’s a slow process but it’s still a process.

Every year since Aiden was born Sean has always made sure we spend Easter Sunday together and celebrate this day. He has always positive even through the years of my grief. This year we celebrate in our new home along with some of our closest friends. We were not a lot this year compared to the years we’ve been hosting easter egg hunting. This did not bother us at all simply because we have always stayed true to ourselves and knew that we only needed a small circle in our lives.

My husband has always been the better cook in our house and during big celebrations and holidays our family would be so excited about what he would cook for us. This year he made mashed potatoes with gravy, glaced carrots (my favourite), and roast beef. There was a lasagna too but we didn’t serve it since it would be too much. Every Easter I bake Sean’s favourite carrot cake and my special chocolate chip cookies.

This year our close friends Cathy and Pipoy got engaged! They live nearby so when everyone was getting ready for bed Sean told me to go and take a night off (Yaya mode). I had a little bit too much wine hence the vlog never having a proper ending.

I made a short video about our Easter Sunday hope you will like it!
