Easter is always a joyful event!
However, I will take a moment to say I was slightly annoyed by the amount of people who repeatedly asked Cassidy the following questions:
Did the Easter bunny give you lots of toys?
What did the Easter bunny bring you?
Did you get a lot of candy?
Since when did the Easter Bunny become the Santa of Springtime? Cass gave most of these people blank looks. And I began to jump in and explain that we met the Easter Bunny in person at the park where she got a few eggs. And by few I mean five.
We celebrate Easter to celebrate the resurrection of Christ in our home. Not candy. No judgement to those who go all out with the baskets and toys and candy, but may we please have that same courtesy and not be judged because we didn't buy all of that stuff? Thanks.
So Easter was a fun time! There was a huge egg hunt in the park. I got Cass a super cute Easter basket with a bunny on it- thank you Target special for $3! And that was all I got her. We went to the park and met up with Miss Julia! And Julia's mama Laura. The hunt began and the girls had a wonderful time running around and screaming like, well, like little girls! It was packed. We celebrated getting five eggs and called it good. Then went for lunch.
That night we did dye eggs. They symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus in case you didn't know :-) And then I showed Cass some gorgeous eggs online from around the world where the creation of Easter eggs is an art. She really liked that.
Easter Sunday we went to Church. Then headed to my Aunt Rene's and Uncle Marks' home out in Elgin for Easter dinner. Their daughter Hannah has one of those egg cartons where each egg tells a small piece of the story of Jesus and what different symbols have what meanings for Easter. So we did that and ate and took home leftovers!
