On Saturday Blake was very excited to dye Easter Eggs after is nap. He loved mixing the eggs around in the colored dye. Bennett was a spectator this year, but next year he will be right in the egg-dying action with us.
Before going to bed on Saturday night, Blake wanted to put a carrot out as a snack for the Easter Bunny. We also left him a little note with his snack. On Easter Sunday morning, the first thing Blake did when he got out of bed was to head out to the kitchen to see if the Easter Bunny had eaten his carrot. Blake came running into our bedroom yelling, "Mom, the Easter Bunny ate almost all of the carrot!"
Blake also began looking for his Easter basket almost as soon as he got out of bed. He couldn't wait to see what hiding place the Easter Bunny had picked for his basket!
We rounded out our Easter weekend by having Papa Ron and Grandma Claudia over for lunch and an Easter Egg Hunt. I have never witnessed Blake eat his lunch so fast as I did today. He knew that once lunch was over he would be searching for Easter eggs in the yard. He had his basket and he was ready! Again, Bennett was a spectator, but he did get to sit on Blake's tractor for awhile!
Most importantly, Randy and I really want Blake and Bennett to know why we celebrate Easter. While dying Easter eggs and hunting for baskets and eggs is such a special treat, we really want them to know that this day is so much more than that. It is about celebrating that Jesus has risen, and because He died on the cross for us, and because we believe in Him, we too shall have eternal life! We are so blessed in so many ways! Happy Easter to you and your family!
