| My brother Scott and Jonathan hid eggs while we took pictures. |
I remember when I was little we bought a new appliance and of course we had a huge box that I wanted to play with. I decided I was going to spend the night in this box and "catch" the Easter bunny in act of leaving yummy candy and probably the same rabbit or toy I got last year that my Mom had hid. No offence Mom, I know we were broke. Well, I didn't catch the screwy rabbit of course but did enjoy sleeping in the box. Still to this day I expect the Easter bunny, aka parents, to give me candy, I did pout the year they forgot.
As the Easter bunny this week, I asked a few people, mostly kids, what Easter was really about. Well, the few answers I got was about candy and since their parents were there I was not going to intrude. I figure they had a bible verse in the egg I was giving them and said a prayer. Many adults came back to find me and praised the Lord and loved the verses.

| Scott was so sweet with helping her find the eggs. |
 |
| Scott told Evalyn "I'm glad you were born." |
 |
| He was so excited that we came to see him! |
I'm listening to Evalyn starting to wake up now and have an Easter basket for her. She has been generally draw to her christian books. She loves her Bible and her My First Easter Book. Of course she also likes her little bunny and Easter egg hunting. I think there just needs to be a balance and have fun. Our children will know what is most important and just like Christmas, it should be celebrated and taught all year long. I read this article this morning: http://www2.ljworld.com/news/2012/apr/08/faith-forum-do-easter-bunny-and-easter-egg-hunts-t/
Yesterday's Hole in the wall, Awesome Mexican Food

| Wallace begging with dignity yet again. |
 |
| Evalyn loved the salsa and was trying to drink it like Milk. |
So for this Easter, I think we will start out the morning with her book, My First Easter, and then have breakfast, then have some fun with some presents while listening to worship music. We are also going to take some pictures and have another Easter egg hunt, reusing the eggs from yesterday, hee hee, thanks Mom for making me so thrifty, I get it from Poppa too, but I get my fine tastes from my Granny. We have decided not to try a new church today, mainly because I still feel really weak, I don't want to wear a mask, and I know that churches will be packed and I don't want to get sick. Watching all of these birds come to my late Nanny's bird feeder, the fishing boat on the lake as the fog rolls across, the great heron that just passed our house, is proof enough today that I serve a risen savior, Jesus, who holds me in his hands.
THIS EASTER MORNING
