Easter 2012

We enjoyed a beautiful Easter Sunday! You know what was so nice? Having church at 9 a.m.! That's right. We didn't bother with easter baskets and all the commercial distraction surrounding Easter. We came home from church and enjoyed lunch, then we talked about the gift of the resurrection. The easter bunny doesn't deliver the easter goods, mom and dad do!  After our talk, the kids went in their rooms one by one to find their baskets. They each got a book, movie/game, and a few knick-knacks. We did have an egg hunt but that was only after I searched for some coins from my wallet, and Mike's too and I even borrowed some coins from Connor. I know, sad, huh. I didn't buy a single bag of candy this year. I guess I've just seen too many food documentaries lately so I just didn't bring it in the house. I had a few left over hershey's kisses that a friend gave me for my birthday so we had maybe two dozen eggs. Mike hid them in the backyard. The kids enjoyed the hunt despite the prize inside the eggs. They still had fun and I feel good about how we celebrated Easter this year!
