Easter Fun!


Easter is tied with Christmas as my most favorite holiday. The true meaning, the wonderful gift of the Resurrection, is the most beautiful part. But just like Christmas, there are additional parts to be enjoyed. The tradition on my side of the family was to hide plastic Easter eggs filled with candy. There would always be a big egg with your name on it with a dollar bill in it. Brian's family tradition was to boil, decorate and find real eggs. We decided to combine the traditions by having an egg hunt with the real, decorated eggs, but we also included the big plastic eggs with the kids name on it. It was like they were already in Heaven.

That's such a cute idea! I love it! We have yet to formulate our own traditions...my excuse..."Kaylie is too young to care." But now I have a good idea to start with...I like the combo idea! Thanks! :)

Hey Mon! My baby wouldn't look for eggs. She just ran around in her pretty dress and dodged anybody who wanted to pick her up. I can't believe your baby is 2!
