Easter

Eggs and bunnies and chocolate, oh my! This was the first year that Elizabeth really got into the swing of things at Easter, and she had a great time! We met the Easter Bunny on Holy Saturday, and then on Easter morning, after beginning the day nice and early with an egg hunt and a power breakfast (a.k.a. Cadbury Egg), we were off to Mass, where she actually sat with us rather than excusing herself to the nursery!

The pink bunny ears that you'll see below were a craft that I did with the kids at The Green House, and she pretty much wore them every day for a week!

Nice dresses. My favorite is the Butterfly theme with the white patent leather MJ's. MJ will have a different meaning in your teens. Probably be legal by then. Anyway, I've often wondered how the bunny/egg hunt/candy deal got started and linked to one of our most special religious days? In my youth, my mother (bless her heart) insisted that we get up in the middle of the night, get dressed in new way-too-lightweight clothes and go to some rural Baptist Sunrise Service which lasted for hours and you were cold and hungry (no time for breakfast since you had to scrape the ice off of the windsheld before you could drive in the dark out into the middle of nowhere)the entire time and then you finally got breakfast but never actually got warm and then pretty soon the whole day was shot! Maybe the bunny/egg coloring/candy deal is some sort of way to bribe children not to talk about their Easter Sunday misery stories when they got older. Well, in my case it (obviously) didn't work. No matter, it's a special day for all of us and the pink paper rabbit ears are a huge improvement over the cheesehead hat.
