Here Comes Peter Cottontail

Conleigh: I wonder what color the Easter bunny is?

Alex: Red

Believe.

Can you remember when you believed that a Bunny hopped into your backyard and hid eggs everywhere?

Innocence.

Do you remember when you didn't question how your Easter basket was filled with a chocolate bunny on Easter morning?

We are living in those times at our house. Conleigh ran into our room this morning about 6:30. "Mom, I think I hear the Easter Bunny in our living room."

Little did she know daddy was up already trying to prepare his Sunday school teaching lesson.

She and Campbell entered the living room at the same time this morning and were so excited to find their baskets filled with a chocolate Easter bunny, a small toy and a ring pop. Alex soon joined the crew and he was grinning from ear to ear to see the two Hot Wheels in his basket.

The girls looked so cute with their Easter dresses, white shoes and big bows in their hair. Here is the outfit Alex walked into our room and asked if he could wear to church. A muscle shirt, really? Pretty funny, I think.

Conleigh and Alex both came to "big" church and did very well. Afterwards, I taught Alex's 3 year old Sunday school class, and Peter taught upstairs in our adult class.

As I taught the three year old class the Easter story, I was so pleased with how much Alex participated and remembered from the story today and in previous weeks. Conleigh too, seemed to be able to tell the story. Jesus is Alive!

When we got home, the rain had cleared, and lo' and behold, the red(?) Easter bunny had put about 60 eggs in our backyard! All the kids had a blast looking for the eggs and got it done lickety split.

Peter & I attempted our first honey baked ham. It turned out pretty well. We ate ham, broccoli, rolls and salad. It was a nice meal and we spent an hour or so afterwards watching videos of the children when they were younger. It was so much fun. Happy Easter 2009.

Thank you God for giving the ultimate gift of your Son Jesus to die for our sins so that we may have eternal life.
