EASTER

Wow what can I say about Easter? It's another one of those holidays I just love. I remember when the older kids were young and we had so much fun on each and every holiday. Then they grew up! they still wanted the gifts, candy, and the food that came along with each holiday, but they could care less for all of the little extra things that make holidays so fun. It was no longer fun to talk about Santa, or the Easter bunny. No need to color eggs, or make decorations. I still require that they sing Christmas songs, and, make time to talk about the saviour, but it's just not as fun as it used to be. Now we have Adam, and he is the only child still willing and able to enjoy all of those fun extras! I have to try hard to remember to do those extra things, so that he wont miss out on the fun. As you can see by the picture, Adam loved painting eggs. Aaron helped out so that Adam wouldn't have to do it alone. (I was tied up with a baby in my arms.) He had tons of fun trying to find the eggs that the Easter bunny had hidden, all of the kids helped with this part. They all had fun finding the eggs, and it helped the older kids to know that some of the plastic eggs that the Easter bunny had brought had candy in some, and money in others. Every time Adam found an egg that he had colored, he would get all excited and tell me that he found HIS egg. I hope that you all had a wonderful Easter.
