Whether you were eating bunny cake or matzoh with cream cheese, I hope your holiday was a great one. Ours was fantastic! Andy's family came in last week to stay with us until Easter. My family came in for Easter Sunday dinner and visited all day long.
It was a merging of loved ones and colorful underwear hats (Abby).
Easter is the kids' favorite holiday so far due to the massive egg hunt awaiting them both inside and out.
Easter Bunny upped the ante this year and hid silver dollars in some of the Easter eggs (thank you, Aunt Jen) instead of boring old jelly beans (thank you, boring old me).
Andy and I were a little concerned the kids would grow up believing Easter was only about hidden eggs and Easter baskets so we thought we'd educate them about the Holiness of the holiday. Through YouTube. Yeah. You can probably already guess how that turned out. Even the cartoons are rather intense and there's virtually no way to sugar coat a crucifixion. Grayson was riveted. Abby asked for The Smurfs.
I'm thinking we need Sunday school.
Since I am still recovering from many days of visiting with relatives and having more free time than the usual eight hours a week, I am only good for a picture slide show today.
I'll do my best to at least caption.
Happy Spring, All!

I have a kids Bible for David and we read the "jesus that he died on the cross" story. David was glued to the picture and he wanted to "see" the that Jesus died on the cross. I found a short version of the Passion of the Christ that left out the most brutal of everything (the actual flogging and nailing) but he saw how bad Jesus looked and "those bad, bad, bad guys the they gave Jesus lots of hurts."
Dear Sweet David. He probably has a greater grasp of it than I do. Grayson heard "...and then death overtook Jesus..." and his ears perked up. I expect to find binder after binder of dark poetry and existential prose in his room when he's a teen. I hope David will be willing to explain things to him then :)
Happy Easter! I love the pictures, especially with all the family. Everyone looks great!!
Miss you!
