He is Risen! I love Easter and all that it means, to celebrate the death and resurrection of our Savior is nothing short of amazing. I remember as a child, my mom always got Billy and I new easter outfits. Often times, our family friends, the Scotts, would get their daughter, Janine, a dress that matched mine or my parents one that matcher hers. We thought it was fun until we got older and then I guess we figured out who looked better in the dress. Growing up, I remember waking up to find a easter basket of goodies that the Easter Bunny brought. How lame was I thought I believed in an oversized rabbit who brought candy to my house? I was so clueless. I don't know if I am a bad mom or if I am just frugal, but we didn't get Dylan an easter basket. He's 11 months old and he doesn't eat candy, nor does he even know any different. However, we of course, had a little fun with the easter bunny.
We went to my Grandmother's house after church where we stuffed our faces with good eats. Usually we have an easter egg hunt there, but no kids were really there to hunt eggs this year. All the little ones around, were ages 3 and under, so my grandmother bought them candy and gave them baskets. She tried to give Dylan chocolate bunnies and peeps, but I insisted that he was much to young for those kinds of treats. They would just end up in Damien and mine's tummies and we know that we do not need them regardless of how good they may taste. After my Grandmother's, we headed over to a friends house for a little fun and a cookout. The big kids had a real easter egg hunt in the back yard while eggs were just tossed in the front yard for the little ones to "find". Dylan got the hang of it. He would pick up an egg, shake it and put it in his basket. I can't wait for him to get older and see him really get into it. We had a great time with our family and friends.
I found one!
