Easter

We made a quick trip to the mall last week to visit the E.B. Bethany ran right up to him, but froze once she was on his lap. Katie leaned in, unprompted, so you can't see the huge scab on her face. Anna's just caught up in the magic and mystery of it all.

We were camping the latter half of last week and were fortunate enough to have a visit from the E.B. We didn't actually see him, but he did leave a nice little scattering of colored eggs.

Sunday morning, the girls found one large basket with goodies for each - chocolate bunnies, marshmallows peeps, and jelly beans. The E.B. read my mind! They also got a ginormous coloring book, some outdoorsy toys, and pretty little pink purses to match their dresses. We were in a hurry to get to church, so they had Rice Krispy treat and bananas for breakfast. (don't you love the mismatch pajamas!?)

Last but not least, the egg hunt at church. Katie is now too old to participate, but she had fun helping Bethany. Anna was excited to hunt with the big kids this year. I think I heard that there were 1000+ eggs, so we weren't hurtin' for loot. Bethany got really upset when Shayne wouldn't let her have a Bit O'Honey or Tootsie Roll though! Too hard to chew for those little teeth! Let's stick to chocolate!!! One last sit with E.B....

Shannon,

When I think about spending time with children (a la MM topic last night), I think of you and how you deliberately work to make special moments with each one of them.

You are a great example to me!

Love,
Lisa

PS-Love all the Easter pictures.

1971, hmmmmm. Who was born in '71? She probably missed that particular show. :-)
