Easter and Kids...

What is about Easter that makes little ones giggle with delight at the prospect of finding plastic eggs filled with unimaginable goodies and treats? That the idea of a BIG, HAIRY, TALKING Easter Bunny doesn't make them squirm at all or fear one in their house? That the pure thought of that Easter Basket filled with Toys, Candy and Who knows what else the Easter Bunny might think of is enough to make a little girl squeal with delight and run into my room at 7:30 AM screaming "The Easter Bunny was Here, The Easter Bunny was here!!"My 12 yr old on the other hand would have preferred to sleep in. But sister is not allowed to go downstairs until we are all up and together, so she bounced into his room and made sure he was awake. Being 12, He really wants to believe in Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny, but common sense tells him he knows better. We've milked it out as long as we can, but he informed me the night before Easter, that he's pretty sure there's no Easter Bunny, so could he just skip the Easter egg hunt in the morning...I almost cried. My baby is growing up! Doesn't he just look thrilled to be hunting for eggs?

We had a great Easter though. We did our own family stuff in the morning, and then off to church. After Church all the extended family came over and we had an excellent day visiting and eating! The weather was gorgeous!

Grandma and Grandpa always bring Easter Eggs - only the kids have learned their eggs are the best - there filled with MONEY! So it's always a race to find the eggs and see who got the one with the money. Very funny...

Hope your Easter was just as good!
